Just what the doctor ordered. The assist for Grant was fantastic. Didn't have a good view of his first half chance but definitely should have burried the second half one. Early days, but looks like a quality signing.

What a difference a decent striker makes. We have a chance in every game now. Harris gets into good areas and I think he'll score a few, that shot in the second half was flying into the top corner.

Real deal. Made their centre half look distinctly Sunday league level 2nd half. Great signing. If stays fit and not poached, 20+ goals this season.

Second half we started supporting him more and he scored one and made one.

My assessment as well - won the ball up front - can handle strong defenders - something we have been missing in my view.

Really have high hopes for him this season......

He,s going to do well, very calm cool and collected. Thought a few times he was going to go down (others would have) but no he managed to shrug those players off and carry on, very strong. Like it!

Nice to have a couple of attacking players with a bit of muscle and who are not afraid of using it.Still can not believe 12 months ago when some posters were happy if massanka had signed for the third time.Both big lads one scared of his shadow the other will bully defenders.

JJ came alive in the second half. He had “Granite” in his pocket - so to speak. It’s only one game, but I was impressed.

Hooper clearly has more of a brain but let’s not forget the way Fondop looked at the start last season.

Fondop was sat near me. Turned up late, playing on his phone most game overall not bothered. Hooper started bouncing their mouthy centre half off a few times and did for second goal. Something i enjoyed

He had a bit of a belly on him at the Open Day last Tuesday. Although it's probably the life of riley to get paid to sit in the stands, people keep mentioning Barrow's Quigley on a three year is stupid - Fondop on a two year has to at least equal it.
