We have too much quality to be far away from top spot even though we aren't firing.

We will come good and with 2 or 3 quality signings in January I think we will be in the hunt for the title in April

It is a bit worrying that we need to limp along till January !

We all know we've fu**ed up by not strengthening midfield but weve still got enough quality to be in the hunt by January.....I wouldn't call it limping exactly although it is frustrating.

We will go on a winning run once we settle down and we've got every chance once we strengthen in January

Hayden - A liability

Lennon - I can’t comment
French - Too many mistakes

Davies - Decent
Young - struggling
Jones - Not good enough (compared to Keates and Harris in their prime for us)

Hyde & Mullin - Quality


We’ve taken a giant leap forward with the forwards but gone backwards in defence and midfield

We strongbow again

Hayden and tozer are both very good signings.

Do you think we’ve got the players for 5-3-2?

Ok ill add my snap judgements from the 3 games I've actually attended/watched:

Lainton - fine need to keep concentration
French - better than expected keep it up
Cleworth - too raw for a team with title aspirations
Hayden - a class act but prone to a cock up
Tozer - solid hate the throw ins and not sure he is worth the £££ yet
Lennon - very good player but made of glass
Reckord - better than last season but still frustrating and erratic
Jones - not seeing it yet
Young - out of position, too frantic, feel for him
Davies - ok not hit the heights of 2nd half last season yet
Mcalinden - crap headless chicken
Mullin - class act frustrated by the averageneas around him so far
Hyde - really good player, great finisher, dropping too deep given our midfield inadequacies
Angus - poses a threat but only really effective playing off a big man, may do better wide in a 433

The rest I've not seen long enough to judge
