Recruitment has been poor and other teams have improved (like Orient)
If you think you can confidently judge our recruitment before the window has ended and three games in you’ve been drinking somert dodgey in my opinion mate.
So if Oates get injured who do we put up front?..Swan is very lightweight and easily brushed of the ball and the only striker on the bench is Gale who is inexperienced. Getting Johnson back appears to be a NO No as he would have signed permanently for Walsall if the cash had been available.Johnson is obviously not wanted or needed at Mansfield. It does appear the Manager prefers Hawkins at the back but if he moves him upfront it leaves Perkins or Hewitt in the centre of the defence and to be honest that is not the answer
We’ve had a few ‘significant’ bids rejected for attackers, the window is not let closed. Danny Johnson was not the anwser last season and won’t be this season, yes we do need a striker but we need to make sure it’s the right one and it’s not like we haven’t been trying.

It was the same at Salford, we would have easily had a draw if we'd have put our chances away.
I know that's bleeding obvious, but we're not getting outplayed/battered in these games so it's not the end of the world

If they play like that in our next 2 homes we shall lose them both !
I thought we played quite well. We just didn't take our chances.
Mind, it must be hard to watch football if you're blind.

We have money, we have the space in a squad, so stop looking to get value for money in your Jack of all trades and get a few key masters. Money talks, we have it, let’s get someone impressive in to solve that striker problem.
Agree that Johnson had no future here, but why let him go if we have no replacement, he could have played today, and scored against his old club, may of even made the miserable *** smile.

They won't be up there like they are now based on that performance. We shouldn't be where we are based on ours.
It's three games in. If we still keep firing blanks and dominating teams though, then the striker recruitment will be our downfall.
