Just read how much the players rate the fans and looking forward to match day.
As a fan i respect all who wears the Amber N Blue they are the ones trying to make my dreams happen
I thought it a bit early to be critical of players, but hey ho away we go

Indeed. Given that Nigel was an international quality striker (and is also a proven good manager), his approach to our current striker situation is baffling. It has been clear for a long time that we need a proven goal scorer (as opposed to someone who 'can play up front').
I also find his philosophy that the entire defence consists of midfielders & strikers very perplexing.
Don't get me wrong ... I really like Clough and I hope he will be our manager for a long time to come. I just hope this unorthodox approach brings success.

I put this in my report:
A word on the signing of Hartigan, a midfielder from AFC Wimbledon. Some fans have questioned why the signing of a midfielder and not a forward. Nigel Clough clarified in midweek when asked about signings: "Ideally we'd like another forward player. The owners put in a couple of substantial bids for strikers. We weren't successful."
So having been unsuccessful bringing in a quality striker, but with a quality midfielder being available in Hartigan, the choice between signing a striker for the sake of it or bringing in a player in a different position, but who is a high quality and will add to the quality of the squad, I think became one that clearly came down on the side of signing Hartigan.

My view is we will see a midfielder leave before August 31st and a striker come in, we certainly cannot expect top three as we are.
