I really think if ohashi can stay fit and with a full pre season behind him can go and get 20+ goals this season. Maybe that's more hope than belief. He has shown already he can score all different types of goals. I think gueye offers something completely different, he's never going to score as many but can play a big role with what he does do. So I've no problem with those two competing up front. That is of course unless we have the chance to bring in some real quality. I'd be more concerned with the rest of the team especially out wide contributing with goals and assists. That is where our attention should be focused. Outside of signing up Travis trons dad and brittain.

Yeah the replacement may well be albieosu. From all accounts that young lad Montgomery was the best player on the pitch on Saturday, I've read? Maybe they will have those two competing for the position who knows? It would seem strange to sell both him and jrc and rely on two lads, with little to no championship experience.

I'm a big fan of Callum brittain and think he was one of our better players last season. Is he as good as some people would have you believe and irreplaceable? Probably not. He had a great season but is suspect to injuries and will be 28 next season. We can't begrudge him a move and probably a last chance at a big contract on more money than we could offer. He's decent especially for this level but isn't going to have the same effect I think Travis or tronstad would have if they went. And if he's refused to play bollocks to him, if they want him get the fee we want and let him go.

Another midfielder? Another player and even club I've had to read up on, on Google. It's another player in and another unknown. It's exciting if nothing else. I think there are some gems to be found. For every ohsashi, tronstad and van hecke. There's always a James brown, Clinton mola or telalovic. It might be cheap and cheerful but it'll take a few months to decide if they're shite or not.

I'm trying to remember but didnt the club or Ismael say they wanted 90% of their transfer business done, before the first pre season game? Which is Stanley a week on Saturday?

Buckley is awful. It's no coincidence our season fell apart when both Travis and tronstadt were out injured. Lewis baker was class and was real competition for them both. Forshaw resigning reminds me of us resigning uncle fadz last summer. An experienced head to have around and hopefully will do more off the pitch than on it.

Id rather have an unknown signing similar to ohashi, gueye, tronstadt and to a lesser extent beck. At least if he's shite it'll take a couple of months to find out. Hopefully more to follow.

This is the kind of game out of nowhere that we'll go and get something. I hope so anyway, the players should use the Eustace situation to fire them up. Id play Dennis off gueye and just bounce the ball of gueye, hoping Dennis can latch into something. Pears Brittain hyam batth and beck Travis and cantwell Dubbery and kargbo out wide Dennis just behind gueye. Doubt we'll go that attacking though.

As much of a mess as this whole season is turning out to be. To any of those unemployed managers we must be an attractive proposition. 15 games to potentially get the play offs. With players coming back and hopefully the end of this slump.

His stock is at an all time high. Id expect him to leave but surely he could hang on and get a better job. Let's face facts though they've a bigger fan base, new stadium and if their owner backed him they could definitely take a crack at the play offs next season.

Don't think he will go, especially to Derby. But if he do that would be me done. I wouldn't bother getting a season ticket next season. Id rather go the pub and piss the money away.

I don't want to see Buckley or hedges star again this season. At best they are fringe players who add absolutely nothing.

The thing is with a signing (hopefully) like Dennis we are paying is it 30% of his wages? Forest will have held off the deal to see if anybody else would come in and pay more. It could be as simple as that. Or the player was waiting to see what interest there was. Either way it is a dangerous game, sometimes it works or we could've panicked and ended up with a lesser player.

Not 100% sure about the Woodrow signing but eustace has always gone on about championship experience. And he certainly has that even if he hasn't been brilliant or even fit as of late haha. I'm hoping ohashi coming back in a month comes back firing like the beginning of the season.

Emmanuel Dennis fit or not would be a brilliant signing for us. Even if takes a few weeks for him to get up to speed. Same as cantwell coming in having not played any pre season at rangers. A fully fit in form Emmanuel Dennis doesn't come here. Simple as that. Praying we get it done. We still need an out and out striker.
