    You're too hung up on pace Fordy, we'll probably soon replace Clarke with someone quicker but Clarke's game has never been about pace. Rowe isn't that pacy but apart from his shooting power he's more quick feet and speed of thought.

    Not sure about this one. But probably confirms Novak is injured long term.

    It's worth watching his goals on YouTube playing for ARC Fylde, there's quite a few. Mainly 2018/19.

    We are in danger of turning into a well run club here! Novak out for potentially remainder of the season, Cook on loan for the remainder of the season as a replacement.

    Well done City a sensible club to minimise the loss of our leading goal scorer.

    If its true I don't think it's a bad replacement for Novak. We probably could have done better with a bit more time but we could certainly do worse as we've seen very recently.

    He might not play much anyway if we keep Rowe up top so as a back up he's about as good as it gets in league two I'd suggest.

    Decent record which is very similar to Rowe.
    More of an out and out striker with big chest and decent heading abilty.

    Have you seen cooks goal record it’s better than Novak’s and we were just talking about needing more Ariel power

    Andy Cook was a prolific scorer in non league for Barrow and Tranmere, didnt do too bad in league 1 for Walsall either.

    I would say decent replacement for the injured Novak.

    If I remember rightly he is a bit of a unit, some may say overweight looking!

    One of Mansfields top earners, I wonder what our wage contribution percentage will be

    If this transfer officially takes place we have done well to replace Novak's injury absence.
    Big target men are sought after in the window and Cook is more mobile than Donaldson for starters.

    Think “heavy set” is the diplomatic term.

    think cook is a good option. Rowe's volley last night came from an aerial duel in front of him.. cook will provide those drop downs for Rowe to pummel home from 25 all week. Cook can score a few himself as well.

    If Cook signs, it's not necessarily a replacement for Novak due to injury.
    Throughout the recent upturn in fortunes, one of the things that stands out as a slight negative, is our inability to win a high % of aerial duals and holding up the ball, particularly up top.
    Cook, could add this to our ammunition.
    I like the strength, swagger and the self-believe that Rowe, Novak and Cook would bring to our attack.
    We certainly wouldn't be bullied at this level, centre-half's wouldn't relish the thought of playing us.

    And once Cavanan breaks into the team, they'll be a polished aerial steeliness at the back.

    If scoring was a film, then Rowe would be Liam Neilson, watch when he scores, he keeps a deadpan expression and a shrug of his shoulders, as though it's just another day at the office and to be expected haha.

    I'm not sure what your point is? I said he'd be a decent signing.
