After appointing MMF last season I'm a bit wary of bringing in anyone whose initials are a porn category.

I'm remaining cautious until I've seen these signings play a bit. I feel like we're jumping the gun slightly, similar to last season, where we're thinking because we've signed a few players we're going to be alright. That's exactly what we did last January and we were still rubbish, under both Fotheringham and Pelach. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself and we don't need a miracle this season. My feelings now are much the same as in January last year. Specifically, I don't think we're going to be alright because I have little faith in the manager/head coach. Too early to say either way with the players, but: * Can't say Nagle isn't putting his hand in his pocket. * People will always speculate on whether a player is any good when they initially sign. FWIW I'm optimistic about Matos and Balker, pessimistic about the two strikers. Whether and to what extent the optimism and pessimism are well founded, time will tell. Correct, Nagle is putting his hand in his pocket. Can't comment on the players as I've never heard of any of them. Matos looked alright against City and Plymouth but haven't seen enough yet to start raving about him. I'm with you about the manager. But by and large, the fans are happy with him and continue to stick up for him.

Some fans will stick up for anybody but every poll, every podcast is fairly unified in disapproval of Moore. Even acknowledging squad issues most are disappointed tht we are now t getting better from individuals or the team and are not trying to win games by making changes during the games to size the initiative!!! Some people say he is a nice guy and much more dynamic in person than in interviews because he downst want to give anything away to the opposition. He needs to be told that he doesn’t need to to take that secrecy first approach during the game because it is exactly the same dull lacking in inspiration and emotion at the side that f the pitch and with the changes. We have no fit strikers and need to win the game so let’s stick with 2 up top., it hasn’t worked before it just needs time apparently! He is terrible

Josh Austerfield gone on loan to Crewe Alexandra for the rest of the season as expected. Suspect he’ll be moved on in the summer and it’ll probably be for the best.

I had really high hopes for him when he played in pre-season friendlies a couple of years ago. I hope he makes it at a lower level and can work his way up the pyramid.

I did wonder if he might kick on but I can't see him doing much at this level. If he can make a career for himself at Lg2 level that's probably best all round.

Just a thought, does the signings of Bojan and Healey mean anything for the option of taking on Burgzorgs loan as a permanent deal? Or do we still sign him too and think of him more as a winger?
Wonder if there is budget left to turn it to a permanent?

Wonder if there is budget left to turn it to a permanent? i would say the winger/ more advanced mid role will be his role in the end. Depends when the option expries or what clasues are in his deal. In that he may need to play a certain amount of games for us to sign him perm , there could be clauses like that .
