    I'd like to see Simms back, is it just me or has everyone's opinion changed on the striker situation, I'm not trying to be funny about people's opinions however there was lots of criticism of the club for only having 2 strikers but a lot of people seem to be happy with what we have at the moment.
    Is that because they are both fit or is it because we have more attacking midfielders to cover.
    I personally thought we were just unlucky with have both strikers out at the same time and always thought we would struggle to sign a striker capable of doing the job but would be happy to sit on the bench.
    As I say it's not a criticism of anyone's opinion, just wondering if people wanted another striker or would be happy with what we have and if so what's the difference from the start of the season

    That's the sort of comment that kept him out of the running for the job

    Off topic talking about the other joke in here, adults buying a 500ml what I think is an energy drink (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) for anywhere between £6 and £9 (some reports reckon some have gone for £100) perfectly sums up this ridiculous social media crazed ****ing society we live in.

    Kids are bad enough and parents need to teach them better the value of money but I hear of plenty of adults going crazy going about all the corner shops to find some for their kids and then you see adults carrying them about like a status symbol. They just another "I'm a **** badge" as far as I can tell and usually go with a pair of them ****e trainers that cost about £600!

    My son is a perfect example, he's 18 years old and he is actually a great kid but spends all his time on social media dreaming of the life these so called influencers have, ive tried to explain that the life these people post on social media isn't their real life, if they posted about having the ****s getting a parking fine , worrying about family members and just normal mundane life that we all deal with 95% of everyday, no one would follow them

    Why would we sell him to a team that will still be relegated and could be a rival next season

    Think I'd go for centre half cover for Bailey Wright who will leave this window and the lad from Forest.

    100%, some of them do make a good living out of it (completely irritates the **** out of me that it's possible) but for everyone of them I bet there is 100,000 kids thinking they are an influencer.

    I remember reading about two so called influences that travelled the world posting videos of themselves working out in all over the world (they were fitness influencers) it turned out they made next to nothing and as a couple they were sponging off each others parents to travel the world!

    I've said it before though there is a woman who sand to her cleaning products on social media and she is now a millionaire and her face is on various cleaning products and from what my wife shows me she doesn't spend her money when she wants anything done in her country house she has bought as companies happily do if for free if she pushes them to her followers! It all pisses me off don't know if anyone can tell? <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I don't see how we need another attacking midfielder. Especially on loan.

    Well that's a different matter I agree. But as it stands we don't need the lad from forest, imo.

    Agree if pritch stays then no need , but i think the reason we are chasing the forest lad is due to him leaving . It's been rumoured all window him or his mrs wanted to move further down south

    That went quiet didn't it. I had a pm saying he was away but unless he goes in next few days he might have had second thoughts.

    I know it was said he wants away due to his Mrs and maybe he can't find a club in a decent location to keep her happy but maybe a sticking point is he is enjoying his football here!

    Suppose it would also depend on when he due back from injury. A team that could be in for him might wait until the end of the season.

    I wonder if Embleton, Gooch, Evans, Pritchard and Wright are now surplus to requirements with the extra wages on the books.

    Tin hat on, and I like all those you've mentioned, but wouldn't bother me too much if none of them were here next season. If we replaced them adequately

    We need another striker,
    Gelhardt is more in the style of Diallo, we need another Simms, or just him.
