    Well there you have it. Doyle, whos scored 23 in 22 before reluctantly coming back, is shite but we've signed far better player from a struggling league 2 club who are looking to trim their wage bill. Only in the imaginary utopia of Park Bantam world.

    I have also seen Doyle for the past season and a bit and to be fair he was next to useless his career shows he hits it off at some and not others he was dragging down the morale and so it’s good he has gone and we have got a good fee as we’ll win win

    I agree with some of that, he should never have come back. Most pointless exercise on both clubs behalf. All Novak has to do is turn up and he'll have been more use than Doyle was.

    I agree, but I did want him back, because I thought GB would change the system. However, that was never going to happen, and I was being naive to think he would. I also think not all the blame lies with GB, Doyle is obviously a Player who has no respect for the fans of our club, we paid him a very high wage and for that we get a limited striker unable to change and whinges that he wants to only play for one Manager.

    You cannot change your system to accommodate one player, look what putting the ginger Twit back in the team did. We're currently a strikers graveyard, and that ain't gonna change overnight.

    Where is the section who said recall Doyle and shove him in the rezzies?

    Anyway, we aren't competing with Swindon, and it's a scummy thing to do. But there were definitely a few.

    Turns out he's just the goal-a-game striker we needed ;)

    Ha ha - reading back some of the reactions after he signed!

    You don't play at the level he has, for the clubs he has, if you are useless.

    Looks a decent addition from what he's shown in the two games so far. Took his goal really well last night.

    Loved his goal last night. A lot of strikers fluff their lines in similar situations. He took it really calmly, a great finish

    I like him.

    Wish I could say the same about the other one though, he needs to improve fast.

    To be honest, it was just before half time when I asked myself if he was playing or not as I hadn't heard his name mentioned once on the commentary. He was finally mentioned in the 63rd minute. Took his goal well though.
    Far too soon to judge the new players but I must say that the signing of Guthrie seems an astonishing decision. Bowyer claims it wasn't his apparently so whose on earth was it?

    Totally agree. Feels a long time since I’ve seen us score a goal like this, which didn’t come from the spot, dead ball, deflection, own goal etc etc

    I was really surprised at the turn of pace he showed to get behind the defender. I thought it was Connolly at first !

    I personally feel a fit Novak will turn out to be an astute signing by the club.
    Nice to see a forward who stays on his feet.
    Last night's finish was clinical to say the least, something that's sadly been missing of late.

    Same, until his touch didn’t end up in the kop then thought it can’t be him.

    Corrected for you!;)

    Agree at first we thought it was Connolly given the speed he took the ball forward. Very composed finish.

    I thought it was Middleton he didn't know about.

    It wasn’t anybody he didn’t know about. When asked he didn’t know if the deal had been made public

    I think we've recruited well enough to not miss him in all honesty.
