    Keep up with 2 points per game and that will get promotion.

    Except that our strikers are on strike ...

    ... I admire your optimism though.

    Must admit I feared the worse after the first game but we have improved slowly. Concerned though that it very like last season when we started to play ok but never quite pushed on. And other teams sussed is out. Big questions still about PPs tactics and also our forwards just can’t score I think we need a couple of signings that can give us a bit pace and a goal scorer But can we get them and would PP play them if we did

    Could we play either diamond or neil out wide and try O' Brian as our main striker? Surely deserves a chance upfront.

    One positive to take is we have had the hardest start out of all the promotion contenders,

    kept 3 clean sheets

    today is abit of a kick
    In the teeth after the first half but we’ve still had a good start and took 7 points from teems challenging for promotion

    They absolutely deserve a chance I also think we need to sign someone a bit different But not convinced PP will play them. Disappointed about the sending off today. I’ve a feeling we may have seen diamond and I’m convinced he would have done well

    I am happy with how we have started tough start and came out ok. Parky is well known for his defensive record sure Bolton had a brilliant record. Had we have took our chances tho thats another win and clean sheet. I have watched it and is there deffo contact for the sending off?

    Yep results build confidence. Confidence leads to better performances. I’m pretty hopeful at the moment

    Definitely hopeful. In one respect not having fans could be helpful too not so much away but at home our fans can be quite negative if it's not going too well. I think we will go up this season. Before lockdown we were 2 points off second.

    Actually disappointed we only came back with a point , first half we should have scored goals and it cost us . We badly need a goal scorer as we can’t rely on keeping clean sheets all of the time . Come on Jonesy find us somebody before the window closes that will fire us to promotion.

    Our general play is very good at this level but we need a finisher, no matter how lazy or greedy.

    When we sold Maja we should have said we need him back until the end of the season. His goals before xmas was a brilliant return.

    Or Benji with Obrien linking up with him. Skill, pace & trickery as opposed to 3 non target men who have two speeds. Slow and dead slow.

    How many transfer windows have been and gone where we've always identified we need pace and don't bring anyone in with it.

    at the minute teams do not need to worry about us getting in behind them as we simply don't have any pace up front this means our attacking is one dimensional and easier to set up against

    It’s easy we lack creative players to supply the ammo , we have lacked in this area for many years , defence - we look good now but in the creative department we need to improve . Not quite sure whether either Diamond or Neil are ready just yet .
