There always be a hard core of 20,000 pretendence, IF we compete for a play off place.
Quite a few that jumped on the bandwagon in the last 12 months will quietly drop away, but is that too bad a thing?
We need players now, not in five years time. I'm not at all sure this lad has been pulling up trees for Forest Green Rovers (it doesn't look as if anybody's pulling up trees at Forest Green at the moment!) - and the last former free-scoring Forest Green player we had didn't score for us us either.........

He wasn't alone, but Izquierdo was hopeless yesterday. Along with several others -- Duffy, Bong, Baldock -- his shortcomings as a footballer in terms of controlling the ball was clearly exposed yesterday. It didn't help that others who are better on the ball -- Bruno, Knockaert -- were also tosh yesterday. In my view, Izquierdo has had one stunning game, but hasn't exactly done much beyond that. He's utterly predictable. Has he ever put a cross in, has he ever gone down the left to the touchline? March came on and was easily our most accomplished player yesterday.

Dont agree with your assessment of March as I thought that for the time he was on the field Baldock was our best and offered us most chance of getting back into the game.

I think you and I were watching different games. March was poor from where I was standing.

From where I was standing, I thought March was rather good. Isn’t it funny how two people can watch exactly the same thing, but see something completely different?

That may be so but it doesnt worry me at the moment but the state of the first team does.
He was a bit better than he has been in recent appearances, but that’s not saying much.

I thought March was poor as well

Well, we keep signing players, but where are the signs of any potential being realised? Not in results, that's for sure. Ben Hall, Jordan Davies, Steven Alzate, Ales Mateju, Soufyan Ahannach - all arrived with varying degrees of fanfare, but I don't hear too much about the great promise they're showing in the U23s.. Viktor Gyokeres is presumably the latest signing never to be heard of again ... Maybe AZ Gull can update us.

Yes that is a concern, we have quantity but the quality does not appear to be forthcoming yet

Ahannach may be going on loan to Sparta Rotterdam I believe.
Karl Toko-Ekambe, one of our reported targets, had a good game for Angers today - could see that situation developing. 10 goals so far this season.
The Andone deal is also not as "off" as Naylor would have us believe.
You were standing in the same place as me. March was no better and his quality of crossing has deteriorated alarmingly.

He was exceptional at times against Championship full backs.

When you're aiming for one (1) player in a crowd of six or seven top defenders... no bloody wonder your percentage of successful crosses deteriorates... along with your confidence. We simply must commit more bodies forward, or we'll be commiting all bodies to the Championship.
Obviously helps if you clear the first man, but yes, having nothing to aim at doesn’t help, the same argument applies to our other wingers as well.

How do you know? (Can’t bring myself to say sauce for source!)
