Even in January KR said we needed a "support mechanism" for Josh Magennis. On the face of it it seems silly to leave it untill the end of August, although I appreciate there will be lots going on behind the scenes and it's never straight forward.
Just had a look at the stats for Novak and Magennis. LN is 2 years older, but has 100 career goals and has scored 10 or more in 4 different seasons (not counting the conference) and one of those was in the Championship. Compared to JM 43 career goals and 10 or more in only 2 seasons. Feel like we definitely haven't seen the best of Novak.
I hope so - as I dread to think what the worst of him was like.
It is always the same - what I find fascinating is why the bother actually bringing in some decent players, but never finishing the job and the squad is always missing somewhere which always gets exposed. Answers on a post card please!
Roland's preference for a small squad to force academy players to get a chance, whether they're ready/good enough or not.
Roland just cannot help himself can he. Just when people were beginning to think things are improving he reverts to type. At least 2 players short of a promotion winning team yet again. Learnt from our mistakes Bollox.

I agree but it just adds to the mystery. Why allow KR the chance to get Reeves and Clarke. Just tell him to use Aribo
Why do I see two similar things so differently? I saw Parker and Konchesky two name but two, as blooding youngsters who were worthy of a first team opportunity and eventually moved on to other clubs. To these days. We get them out of the youngsters and put them in the shop window where hopefully someone will pay the equivalent of a years running costs as a transfer fee. All sad and I've become very cynical.

BECAUSE We used to fight to hold onto them? ROLAND
Cauley Woodrow: Bristol City sign Fulham striker on loan, so could KR go back for Taylor
Interesting I was just wondering what Cauley Woodrow was up to. I've seen him play a lot for England at youth levels but never really understood what he did. Was wondering if he'd reached the point in his career of needing to drop down to League One.

We're always 1-3 players short. This year it's right back and up front where we're lacking cover. Last year Phillips, Konsa, Hanlan and eventually Aribo had to step up. Before that KAG and Kennedy were two thrown in too early.
No coincidence they're often strikers, who are the most expensive players to sign.
What so far has been a pretty decent recruitment this summer, it wouldn't be normal if they didn't leave us short somewhere and restrict us to playing unproven youngsters when we desperately need a proven player for this level to score goals.
I am really hoping we get someone in, Taylor really would've been ideal. I just don't see anything positive happening unfortunately.

Agreed but your missing the point. Why bother making a squad at all only to leave us a few players short. Why not just not bother at all, ensure all the youngsters are being used

He probably knows that wouldn't work but thinks doing it this way will eventually?

Katrien wanted Watt out. "Why should we keep giving him chances when he hasn't showed up for two years - the problem is nobody wants to buy him"
Safe to say when we said "we had plenty of interest in him but the offer had to be right for us" it meant we wanted to sell him not loan him again.
Ajose is, was and will continue to be shit.
Vetojele is currently and constantly is injured.
Yes we are light on strikers but we are no weaker than we've been for ages.
They are and always will be shit.
And
We sold Watt, for
1) how much?
2) where's the money?
