    I don't normally make predictions but I expect Andy Cook to get 20+ goals this season. We know he knows where the back of the net is, plus he doesn't tend to get injured. I have also noticed that he has lost that gut that he had when he joined us last season so he is looking ready and fired up for the start of the season.
    I also like the fact that he is a bit selfish when going for goal, rather than set someone else up he will back himself, the sign of a proven goalscorer.

    General, it will be a long and exhausting series of battles. But I concur - we will win this war.

    I agree,
    Unless Adams himself doesn't think he's done his job and walks I can't see Ryan getting rid.
    Although the aim is promotion Ryan has seen swapping and changing managers in the past is anti productive.

    I think we've got more to come. Usually at the end of one of those articles, they would say "Lavery will wear the vacant number 10 shirt for the 2021/22 season" and yet there is no mention of it... So I'm thinking more to come.

    To be honest, that’s the first Adams signing I am underwhelmed with.

    I guess it's a tricky sell to anyone coming in because Adams clearly wants to play with one main striker and at the moment Cook has the shirt. So whoever comes in will need to wait and most players don't want to be on the bench as a back up.

    I think I would have preferred Aramide Oteh who is still a free agent I think - 10 years younger and would have been happy to be “back up”

    If he gets 10 this season then that will be fine as long as another 4/5 also get ten.

    It feels like we're needing a spread of goals throughout the team.

    I think it’s a decent signing, feeling strangely optimistic about this season and it feels weird. I’ll snap out if it soon. Best of luck to the lad.

    His approach play has surprised everyone….the lack of goals I’m not too worried about as yet. It’s clear he’s getting his focus back if reports are correct. Irrespective of his goal tally many thought it was a Meh signing. So far, he’s proving many to have been a tad hasty?

    Fair enough. Kelleher has a slightly better pedigree than French.
    Based on Wikipedia stats only, Angol appears to be better than Guthrie!
    Time, as always, will tell.

    I get the feeling he had a bit of a miserable time at Mansfield, hence being loaned out. We got him. Then have signed him. Think most strikers are the same - they love to be loved and valued for their goal threat. If the friendlies are anything to go by, he's in a good place right now, knowing that Adams clearly rate him. Wouldn't want to be a player Adams doesn't rate!

    Hopefully that's Evans.

    There's still time, Keefly! Transfer market and loan business still open. Currently, I'd play our midfield youngsters before Evans if there were injuries.

    Squad number 29. That number 10 still up for grabs then.
