I guess the small mercy is that we do actually get big crowds to bottle it in front of, whereas you seem to be able to bottle it every year without having any big crowds involved.

Swindon are obviously top for a reason but I feel it’ll be potentially a great game in front of a big crowd with 2 attacking sides that try to play football the right way, a win for us would be huge

Our ‘strikers’ can’t shoot or score either to be fair, so it was a level playing field. A lot of work to do up front in the January transfer window in terms of both outs and ins

Is he more of an attacking midfielder than a striker then?

Bitter much? You lost and the better team won, end of.

I think having a team that's currently worst than the one we had in league 2 without being able to strengthen until January means we could be cut adrift by the time we find our feet

Yea agreed, I think in recent times there has been seasons where the gap between league 1 and league 2 has not been huge certainly between the bottom half of league 1 and the top sides in league 2, but having just come up and maintained pretty much the exact same starting 11 without losing our...

We've only really got one striker at the moment so I think it could be a good addition for us He was ok here in league 2, a bit hit and miss I'd say he looked good in some games but others he was just anonymous/missing/disinterested, probably progressing as a player all the time though and I...

Preston local paper and the Irish sun are reporting that Plymouth, Portsmouth, Wigan, Oldham, Fleetwood and Atletico de Kolkata (me neither, apparently it's Robbie Keanes club) are all pursuing Eoin Doyle for a loan move

Think Scunthorpe have looked reasonably decent in the games I’ve watched so far this season, Josh Morris looks particularly dangerous and Adams has already been saying that he’s going to be trying to prevent supply to him as much as poss, and I’d suggest Scunthorpes manager is probably thinking...

It definitely wasn't your internet connection because when you watch the 90 minutes back again on replay you can watch it over and over and it does exactly the same every time at the goal, and the quality and audio stutters throughout the whole match

From watching the few games we've played this season so far we've been able to hold our own without even having a striker, if we add Eoin Doyle on top of adding Ciftci yesterday we look a different proposition altogether

Well we're desperate for a striker and Ciftci is definitely an interesting one, 2 years ago he was arguably one of the best strikers in the scottish prem, sold to Celtic for 1.5m and then seems to have been a bit of a naughty boy since. Definitely has the talent to be absolutely immense for us...

Isn't it funny how some players just seem to fit at some clubs and fail at others? When he was with us in league 2 he was so poor and anonymous when playing that it was literally assumed the only reason he was starting must've been due to some arrangement in our loan contract with Chelsea that...

Your guess is a good as mine, he's been trying for about a month though so...

I think we'd take a draw to be honest shall we just agree on it now and not bother risking injuries? Struggling for forward options, in fact struggling is being generous, with our only recognised first team striker (Ryan Taylor) breaking his ankle putting him out for about 3 months

At 3-0 down inside 20 minutes it's starting to look like the latter...

Only 2 players from Saturday starting for us (Argyle), but strangely the lineup doesn't actually look any weaker if at all which says something about our squad, either that or both teams are crap

He was all we had coming up! He was good in league 2 to be fair as the way we play we tend to have a lot of attacking midfielders (some with real quality actually) and wingers get in and around a forward focal point that is just there to bring others in, we don't really play with 'goalscorers'...

Losing Ryan Taylor to injury early in the Peterborough game this weekend left us with literally no first team strikers whatsoever (we all knew we were very light but I think Adams had hoped Taylor would see us through until later in the transfer window whilst we lined up targets). He's now come...
