    And neither him or Tomlinson (who were loan) were going to be with us if they had performed, or as it turns out they didn't perform, although IMO Tomlinson was the better of the two.

    You and your ilk are too happy to accept mediocracy we got promised investment by Rupp and as yet were still awaiting that £1m signing not good enough Rupp.

    No Colin Doyle in the squad today but a trialist keeper. No mention this summer as to wether Doyle signed his contract extension.

    I know that but if you watched or read the fans forum Rupp said we needed to produce a team to compete with the best in the division and I think we have

    Is Baldwin an upgrade on Taylor though? Just because Taylor was poor it doesn't necessarily make any replacement an upgrade and everything fact wise about Baldwin suggests he's potential a downgrade, even on Taylor.

    A competent centre half with lots of football league experience would be a start. Lots of other teams in this division even seemed to manage to find them on a free.

    Doyle shouldn't have been offered a playing contract in the first place.

    We should have 2 keepers who are still capable of playing regular football pushing each other.

    By all means offer a coaching contract to him.

    Spot on @Gardscoigne@Gardscoigne !!!

    As far as l can see there is no noticeable upgrade in the players we have signed.

    So how Rupp is tangibly improving the squad, through an injection in cash, is not obvious.

    l know who we have signed and who could come back from injury @Park bantam@Park bantam from my view the squad is leaner, not filled out with loans, and may just gel together to do better.

    What l struggle to see is money being used in an obvious way to give us the top budget and therefore in theory the best players, to push us towards promotion.

    Notts County about to sell Langstaff to Milwall. £700k plus add ons which could reach £1.2m.

    @Park bantam@Park bantam further proof of your valuations.

    You know me better than that, I'll be more than happy to pat him of the back and shake his hand when he and the team deliver come May, as I've posted, I told him we fans don't want to hear that clubs have come and park the bus at Valley Parade that's his job to sort it, because as we know when teams do come to Valley Parade it becomes instinctive for some clubs they have a point its up to us to break them down.

    The question is, would it also be an improvement on Baldwin.

    Who knows. Let’s be honest it’s only the first friendly but hardly inspiring.
    Oliver playing is a bit worrying too-are we not able to shift him?

    Yeah, happy to wait and see but I have to be honest, I'm not hopeful.

    No. No, they don't. Because their argument is based on semantics and not reality.

    They are asking you to agree with their assumption when they've never seen them play whilst also criticising you for saying that someone else isn't good enough when you've never seen them play.

    Simple....
