    Is it?

    We seemed to have been ratting about on the cheap.

    Doyle going to Swindon I understand.

    Novak who plays for a midtable team who their fans want out because he's a poor forward.

    The truth hurts but people need to face up to it.
    I know you know, you just need to admit it to yourself! Let it out.. see other sites have. No one is happy with how the club is being run at this moment.

    I wish I shared your optimism...

    Agree he was a good player in his day but judging by his recent track record and what Scunthorpe fans have to say about him he appears to be a player well on the decline.

    Anyone know if he’s available tomorrow? Presume we missed the 12 deadline?

    He's gonna need time to be brainwashed first with Boreyers flamboyant unique style of attacking from our 18 yard line.....

    Fair point. At the moment: The Don. Hopefully backup is on the way.

    Our own fans used to laugh at Hanson but he was capable of doing a job for us.

    His sort of player (target man) ALWAYS get chastised because fans think they are crap unless they knock in 20 goals. In the time I've supported City some of the target men I can recall are Mills, Ward, Cooke, Conlon, Hanson and with the exception of Mills, who played in a very good City side, all the rest got bombarded with criticism on the message boards.

    I hope he does what Doyle did at swindon at score goals and prove those fans who laughed at him wrong but we are talking about the city team that have made bugger all in chances for the front men.

    I just hope bowyer has a change of mind in our play that helps our forwards,can't see it though.

    It only started in 2003. Pretty much TV based then and newspapers. Only seems to have become a big thing in the last 10 years or so. More that TV (Sky) have made it into a show!

    We all know why Doyle and I suppose Vaughan were not scoring goals for fun here and that's due to 3 main reasons:

    1) Bowyer's negative style
    2) our midfield not being creative and passing ways
    3) our attackers having to drop into midfield or out wide instead of getting into the box.

    Now, Donaldson isn't a scoring machine for us and I doubt Novak will be either.

    We're not really solving the lack of goals with this signing! We need to concentrate on points 1 and 2 then work on 3.

    Having said that though... just seen these stats. We don't produce enough opportunities for our forwards... but Wood is the second most accurate crosser in the league of those who have made over 75 crosses.

    With target men, we should expect to convert more of these.

    It's starting a negative with me because of the style of football we are playing and you could have harry kane in our side and he would struggle.

    We cant expect donaldson to play every game so we needed another target man and Novaks a decent L2 striker. Cant see him been on massive wages like doyle and vaughan so hopefully somebody else coming in aswell.

    The point is Doyle and Vaughan only scored for fun at 1 other club before we signed them. They weren't known for "scoring for fun". Sunderland fans say Vaughan is the worst striker they've ever had. Doyle did decent for Chesterfield and Oldham and shit everywhere else.
