One maybe two of the signings in January are maybe a ‘Little’ bit better than any of Holloway’s at the start of the season,

From what I have seen from Payne I don’t think he offers anymore than what green offered us, maybe this is because his isolated up there by himself?

Bunney is probably one of the worst signings I’ve seen for ages for us in the few games his played. Habergham has to start on Saturday or hendire as left back.

Eastwood can’t be at fault for many of the goals conceded but kicking needs to improve, is he really any better than macca?

Menayese is getting better game by game,

Matete tries hard but maybe not that good enough yet?

El Mizouni doesn’t do no way near enough for me if his going to be playing behind a lone striker.

Lamy and the shop deserve there chance to start now, shown enough for me when brought on.

Obviously Coke needs time to settle in.


Any I have missed cannot obvs stand out enough to make a difference.


Would like to see Scanell given a proper chance, started to look good before he got injured again, also Jackson JR worked hard when we got his stint, hopefully Hanson can stay injury free now because we’re going to need him.

The players are better, except maybe Bunny, it's the tactics that are worse. All us fans want to see is us go down fighting. But the last 2 games there hasn't been any fight. I'd rather lose 3.1 going for it than 1.0 defending hoping for a lucky goal. We need to play attacking players in an attacking formation on Saturday and go for it. We cannot stay up if we don't win and at this moment we can't score never mind win. We have got nothing to defend so let's get at them from the off, not the last 10 or 20 minutes.

This! I highly rate the 2 cms he's brought in and cb. Its just the way we're setting up. If we have 2 upfront (the shop + one other) I reckon we'd be doing slightly better.

Is Eastwood better than McKeown? From what I have seen absolutely yes. Eastwood was very good against Harrogate on Saturday and I think Mckeown may have conceded some of the shots Eastwood saved. Eastwood's distribution does let him down but so did McKeown's

How can anybody highly rate Menayese? Granted we are all entitled to our opinions but from what I have seen he looks very chaotic and looks like a disaster waiting to happen every single game.

Menayese looked good last night. He was poor in every game before that, but maybe he's settled in now. He hasn't been any worse than Pollock or Waterfall, who get torn apart virtually every week with their lack of pace.

What’s wrong with Eastwood’s kicking now? Or have we not actually got something to complain about with him?

Haven't you seen? He often kicks it out into touch...

That happened a lot against Crawley in the wind, hasn’t happened since.

The best signing for me is turning out to be mayenese, he is getting better each time he plays , reading game well, winning headers and has pace.
This love in for matete I do not see , he huffs and puffs puts the odd tackle in but not a lot else, not enough killer passes to warrant the superlatives but he is only young. I feel when on the ball Mizouni carries it better out of the two but he doesn’t get on it often enough.
Adam seems no better than the last lot of young loan signings who struggled to get on the ball.
Coke , lamy and the shop are probably all struggling with match fitness so will see more of them as season progresses.
Bunney is ready for the casserole pot

Have not been impressed with Menayese but i thought he did well last night, and was definitely his best game so far

Menayese looks every bit a low-rent Nsiala.  Not as quick, not as strong, not quite as good at bringing the ball out....

But he's also probably our best centre-back.  Waterfall is getting slower by the game, I think he's still turning from when the Orient lad dropped a shoulder on him in the 20th minute last night.  Pollock looks the complete opposite of a player who had Premier League teams sniffing around.

If either Waterfall or Pollock were the player of 12 months ago, winning everything in the air and bullying strikers, Menayese would be the perfect compliment to them.  But he's come into a team that's shot of everything at the back and expected to lead it.

Matete is head and shoulders above everyone else in our midfield, but he can't do it all.  He's trying to be the defensive one who protects the back four, the one who does the dirty stuff and hassles teams and then the one who gets it on the deck and turns play over quickly.  Oh and also he's expected to get forward and support the front man too.  Impossible.
