Poor performance today especially being at home but in fairness was against a team who should top the lot really so not too down on that and is only first defeat in 5 games which I'd have easily taken before the season kicked off.

However I think we need to sign a bit more quality especially up front as I think Smith is just a tall donkey of a target man who for his height is poor in the air and brings nothing else to the party

Poleon is a headless chicken with bundles of energy and pace but no real footballing ability regardless of his age and coming through the youth academy.

I understand people will defend him but for those who will defend him just honestly what did he do today to even see a flicker of potential in him?

Having said all that I still am happy with start of season and do honestly believe that the worst we will do this year is challenge for the play-offs.

So overall being optimistic a couple more signings and we're going up with the grace of god.

I wouldn't say we played poor. I would say we are deffinatley missing a winger who would create chances and make sure the strikers get chances to score. That's what I think would have been the difference today. As we never really get any proper shots on goal.
Poleon isn't amazing but I think he's better than varney and hunt as I think their a bit like him but they are slow. He does cause problems for defenders though. I think if he bulked up and got strength he would be good.
Based on our results I would say we should get playoffs based on the fact that we have had 4 hard games so far getting 5 points from them and the win away at Ipswich. A winger is needed and with that we could get automatic but at the moment playoffs

I agree that hunt wasnt great but varney was putting in some real effort and had some pace and I think he was ok

I agree, wasn't impressed with hunt at all, but varney I am really warming to! Need a winger desperately, we might then see the best from smith.

I agree varney seems to e really cing into himself putting in some hard work and linking well with McCormack, although I am quite surprised that know one has slated Austin on here dot think I recall him with one successful pass all game. Another good game though I thought good football especially the first half with another good performance by McCormack and peltier.
