Even more bizarre because we bought him knowing he wasn't a striker, more someone who plays off one. For all the forwards on our books we don't have a single one who fits that description.
Coffee stop on my walk! The feeling has been growing these past few weeks after coming back down to earth and reality following the Sheffield miracle! Before and during the window, I was quietly confident. Not now. Selles has improved us by returning us to a normal footballing team, rather than one stupidly chasing some unique philosophy. But it's no longer a marked improvement. Yes, we're out of the bottom 3 ....just. That may well change by the end of this month. The pack above us has thinned a little. Portsmouth and Plymouth appeared doomed, but not now. I fear we still haven't got sufficient goals in us. Although it was good to see new faces come in during the window, now the dust has settled and we see what we've got, some glaring weaknesses have still not been addressed yet we are overloaded, with new faces to settle, gel, get up to speed. We can't win at home, we struggle to keep clean sheets and struggle to score more than 1 regularly - not a good combination, and I struggle to see these things changing - do you really believe it will? How? Why?

Its not so much what I believe really - I don't believe we'll definitely stay up - but I so no reason why we can't. Looking at the facts in front of me - if all continues at the current rate - we'll stay up. Plymouth, Derby and Luton's form is not better than ours and they are below us. On paper, our fixtures become easier after the next game and I think our run in is kinder than any other team in the bottom 5. I just don't understand why I'd look at that scenario and think all is lost. The other teams around us are at the very least currently as bad as us. I'm very prepared to be proven wrong at the end of the season - but there's so much to go I think its strange to almost accept that we could be doomed.
Nah, although he could have one leg longer than the other, which is surprisingly quite common. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I don't think all is lost. I just struggle to see how we get out of this and struggle to see why some others remain confident we will. Arguably Plymouths form is better than ours; all depends what time frame you choose. ... and their next 2 are Luton and Cardiff!! Closely followed by us, Portsmouth, Derby and Swansea.
Yes I think our games against the teams around us will keep us up or send us down I think with Plymouth’s form - they won two games back to back. As we saw under Walter - that can happen but I’d much rather have half decent form over 10 games than really good over a couple.
gut says we're going down, you can't be on 2 home wins in mid Feb and think you're staying up. Next 3 up at the MKM are must/should wins, which we won't and it'll be game over.
I believe Baz when he says the club wants to sign him, but I also think they don’t want the clause to be triggered before the summer for financial reasons. If there are, let’s say, 10 games left before the clause is triggered, I fully expect those appearances to be the final 10 games of the season. Then everyone will say “I told you it wasn’t financial”.
