The two keepers mentioned were far better and there has been several others before Zeus i would class as being better. Goalkeeper is the least of our worries right now but i don't think it would be that hard to get an upgrade on him. Why do you or would you want an upgrade? When has he been below par?

Scunthorpe (H) Cheltenham (A) Macclesfield (A) Stevenage (A) Carlisle (H) Salford (A) Mansfield (H) I'd say 10 points or more would be a decent month, the 3 games in the middle of the month are the crucial games to win. With a lot of key players struggling with knocks or injuries after the Christmas period, I'd take a couple of draws from the next 2 as long as we are firing for the 3 games in the following week. A target man and hopefully Nepo coming in at left back would be the key additions we need first. Any extra upgrades would be great too of course! So 7 points from 7 games is nowhere near great form, but we've managed to move from 9 to 11 points away from the bottom spot despite a pretty poor return. It's clear that you have to be pretty dire in order to leave this league the wrong way and that's exaggerated by there only being one relegation space this season. Yesterday was the one clear positive this month on the pitch, not only due to the result but also what looked like a comfortable and good performance. More question marks than answers about Dino have developed over the past month, but the key recruits seem to have been made and the squad looks much better than a month ago (barring an exodus in the next 3 days). The next 4 games will be difficult but on last night's showing we'll at least be able to compete in the games. 45 points (4 wins) should see us comfortably safe and if we don't achieve that then we deserve to go down anyway! Hopefully now we can look to develop a team that settles and can lead us into next season with a bit of hope. In all honesty that might be the only way Dino is able to keep his job.

jsslatic Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Can't see us needing more than a couple of wins. Will take Stevenage long enough to get the 11 points they need to close us down. Regardless, not finishing bottom of the Football League is not an accomplishment nor should it be a target. Last night showed this side has the personnel and ability to entertain and win games and we should be aiming to finish as high up the table as possible. Clearly the playoffs is fanciful (and I don't think there's any serious talk) but top half would at least be a sign of progress and something to build on for next season.

Already reportedly has plenty of admirers. Think we just need to enjoy the lad whilst he’s here. (See Lang and Surridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
