    I've got to admit I'm not over excited about the Lee Novak signing: not a brilliant scoring record, only 6ft tall, too old, struggling Scunthorpe United don't want him etc. It's the last day of the window for goodness sake, he's the same age as Vaughan and Doyle and who's to say it won't work out for him and us.
    Fans Forum and Twitter is all about different opinions, and I wonder what comments would have been coming out if these platforms for fan's opinion had been around when we signed a certain Robert Campbell.
    After been kicked out of Huddersfield Town and Halifax Town he had a go to Australia to get a game. Halifax Town used to drag him out of The Shay public house before a game! Oh and Bobby was only 6ft tall as well.

    I think it's the problem. Everybody can become an expert looking up stats and watching youtube videos. Rather than just waiting to see what their new signings do on a Saturday. We start off on a negative straight away.

    I don't think many would disagree! I'm not that old and even I remember rushing to get the T&A to find out the latest news!

    Smart on the clubs - both can now pretend it was more than £10.50.

    So 6 other teams didn't play him right? :joy:

    I agree Bowyer makes players shit, but Eoin Doyle is severely overrated

    This breaks my golden rule of never signing a player from someone in your own division who is happy for them to leave.

    Didn't we try and sign Nivak previously and when put to him he just laughed at the thought of coming here. Underwhelming signing for me!

    Nope, I'm struggling. You might have to put it in English if you can please.

    yep agree on the forward fella I think we definitely do, I don’t think we have much pace in the team with a NovDon pairing, although I think they will give us some bite up top.

    there’s a lot to be said for that, genuine mates in a team, not want always that don’t hide the fact and that no one really likes

    Well all we can hope for is that Novak does a similar job for us as Doyle did for Swindon, we are due some payback.

    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.

    I like him.

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

    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.
