Most liked posts in thread: Lee Novak

The good news is that Novak and Donaldson did well together at Birmingham unlike Donaldson and Vaughan at Birmingham which didn't work at all. Your right though we need another forward.

 

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 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'm not too sure Clarke is contributing much at the moment. He is a good player and an asset, but in current form I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Trevor's suggestion.

Rowe can't half hit a ball and if he is playing as the striker he'll have his back to goal plenty of time. If Cook is winning the knock downs and Rowe is running on to them and facing goal he might be even more effective.

 

Might depend on the conditions. If the weather and pitch aren’t great, it might be better to go with Cook than Clarke. No urgent need for change though - those on the bench can’t complain when the team is winning, they just need to be ready to take their chance when it comes. Competition for places is healthy.

 

Agreed. There will be plenty of time for squad rotation in February when we have 3 games a week. He'll get his chance then, no doubt about it.

 

What's the alternative? Kian Scales or Billy Clarke?

I'll take the reduced mobility thanks.

 

So now we’re playing with two target men up front. When we play with two up front that is.

 

Losing Vaughan and Doyle to Tranmere and Swindon and bringing in Lee Novak who Scunny dont want. How we have fallen. Awful.

 

Get in....we sign the aging non scoring forward scunthorpe don't want.

 

End of next season?

Not sure that's a great bit of business. So we're building our team around two ancient forwards next season!

 

Good signing. Well done City.

Of course he is a downgrade on Doyle and Vaughan but he's a unit who will be more suited to Bowyerball.

 

Like for like with vaughan for me but Novak is more made for league 2 hoofball whereas vaughan is made for a passing football team. least hes played regularly in lower leagues so should be ready from the off to play long ball football haha

 

Great - a out of form striker who scunthorpe fans seem to be glad to see the back of.

He will thrive here with all the chances we make.

 

It seems likely we missed it. We needed the paperwork with the FA by 12.

 

The bury side who would be happy with mid table div 2 football.

 

Why is Lee buying a few for his friends and family?

 

Other than Swindon, no-one is signing anyone any better

In fairness, if we did get Agard that would be pretty impressive and I think we'd have a better and more mobile strikeforce than we did prior when Doyle and Vaughan were here

A big "if" though!! I can't see it happening. His wages will be in the £8-10K bracket. Unless Oteh is going back and we get him on loan and agree a 50/50

 

You cannot be serious ............
