    I didn’t really want Rhodes anyway, and none of this has persuaded me otherwise. If we’re adding Waghorn, that gives us 4 forwards with a combined age of 129.

    I get that if Warne identifies targets , his recruitment team then get them in and they then underperform then Warne ultimate carries the can for this.
    What I was alluding to was if Warne passes a list of targets on and his recruitment team then fail to get any of them in as the player doesn't fancy dropping down a division, their wages are too rich for us, other clubs are in for them etc then why should Warne be then judged on this?
    This could be near to the scenario we are in at the moment with us seemingly struggling to get in a guaranteed 20 goals a season striker for free on wages which sit within our budget. Maybe it's because too many of the factors are mutually exclusive too when you add them as filters to give a final search of.....zero. 
    If people also think that Warne should be persuading players to come here just through sheer force of personality and if he can't then this is a slight on him as a manager then this is naive at one extreme and prejudiced at the other.....

    Style demands are quickly drowned out when you're winning every week. If Warne delivers on his stated aims this season (as he needs to), there'll be very few complaints, though other reasons to whine will doubtless be sought and found.

    Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm not a fan of tika-taka either and agree re: Roseniors' style of play - I understood the philosophy, just found it boring. PW has a proven formula for getting out of L1 so I'm happy to back him regardless of the style of play he employs to get us back to the Championship.

    The great thing about live football is that you can have great moments whatever the level.
    The Leeds playoff Semi Final win was as good or better in terms of the emotional event than most of the 90’s prem games, despite none of the footballers being at the same talent level.
    I have had the Cox and Smith top flight years in my supporting life and they were great times. But there were exciting games in none too flight seasons too which I have enjoyed as much or more.
    “That Season” in the PL where we went every week expecting to lose is something I could do without repeating. Last season in L1 was way better even if you don’t get to see Ronaldo.

    The more I think of it, the more Nombe seems the perfect fit. Two players that don’t give defences a moment’s peace.
    Add NML and perhaps a new wide player (Harris?) and I think we have a potentially aggressive, dynamic forward line.
     I would still like a midfield player that gets forward to pick up the scraps and score a few.

    I’ve been assuming the “goal scoring” CF signing is just waiting for the Knight deal to be done to provide the funds.
    Assuming this happens, I’m fine with CW.
    Every chance he can get 10 goals based on past L1 record. Collins could get similar (like he did last season) so assuming we do get the main man in, say 18+ then that should be sufficient with a bit more contribution from elsewhere.
    Our midfield should be able to do better than last year IMO.

    Getting 30 goals out of two or three players as massively better than getting 25+ from. McGoldOne. 
    Being reliant on one player like we did is just a huge gamble for no injuries, suspension, form loss.
    So… Didzy may have done us a massive favour by going to Notts, if it results in us building a more balanced team…
    Cheers McDick. 👏⚽️ But it was necessary to replace you with a spread of goals, even if none of the players will be your calibre..
