    I suspect he is more than backup and will feature as a key team member. Physical, aggressive, and 7 goals so far this season, expect to see a lot of him.

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

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

    One up front has been a major factor in our success over the last 7 games. It's seen us concede 3 goals in 7 games, a remarkable achievement for a team that was starting to look like shipping goals for fun. How we fit these new players in is anyone's guess but for me I'd keep Callum Cooke in the number 10 role and the others positions play around that, to me that mean going with one striker whether that be Rowe, Cook or Novak when he's fit. I'm not convinced playing two of the above together would have more positives than Cooke at 10.

    Got to disagree with that, Billy Clarke adds so much to the team as a whole and we look a better player with him in it. Yu lose Cooke's effectiveness on the right, and Rowe in the middle makes it much more of a 4411, with the two wide players more withdrawn

    I just dont see any reason to change the formation at the moment, nor personnel if all fit. Cook will surely have to be patient and start on the bench for now, that said, he said one of the reasons for looking to leave Mansfield was lack of starting appearances and being on the bench, so we will wait and see

    We played the best attacking football at the beggining of the good run and Novak was part of that. Best striker out of the three we have, no coincidence he's played at a far higher level than either Cook or Rowe.

    Scunthorpe fans are laughing at us. They seem delighted to get rid of him.

    Sorry clicked post too early. Have just edited. He's an experienced player who has played regularly at a higher level and gives us a direct option. Won't score double figures but will hurt teams and create for others.

    If we could get Agard too now that wouldn't be a bad end to the window at all.

    I'm not old enough to remember, but how did transfer deadline day work before Sky Sports News and the internet?

    Teletext and the paper?

    How did everybody look up stats and watch clips of past goals so as to be able to tell their mates in the pub how sh*te a signing it was?

    Maybe because like us they didn't play them right.

    The problem is Bowyer not the players.

    Sunderland will probably now say Charlie Wyke is one of the worst ever, but I'd take him back in a heartbeat!

    The scunthorpe fans are wetting themselves at the idea we've taken him, let alone paid a fee for him. Doesn't inspire confidence does it...
