Hoskins has not got a 20 goal season in him. His finishing isn't good enough.

You just know that if we let him go he'll do a Henderson

I reckon Waters will come good. He tore up in pre season last year, just wasn't given a chance for whatever reason

Hardly set the world alight preseason but agree he might have been given more opportunity prior to his loan. Can see him working well with vV.

I'd be amazed if Hoskins scores 5 goals in a season - People who think he may ever score 20 are dreaming!

Don’t think he’ll score a lot, but his pace still has a use at this level imo.

20 goal season would be just over 130% of his entire goals ever. It'd be one hell of a turnaround!

Obviously that would happen, it almost always does!

The amount of chances he latches on to is impressive and thats the hardest thing imo... its just the  finishing that lets him down.
That'll  be rectified at some other club no doubt😉

Someone like Chris Freestone who was fast, liked scoring goals and didn't think that playing for the Cobblers was beneath him.

"Fox in the Box

A deadly striker, a player who scores most goals in the box, not particularly skillful but scores a lot of goals."

Ahh yes. Classic Hoskins.

Hope Waters doesn't go to Port Vale...

Really think he'll thrive if played in his favoured striker position under DA in L2

Would rather offload Hoskins and keep Waters...

Ryan Hardie at Rangers nay be available - just the sort of striker to compliment Williams - young, hungry, mobile and knows where the net is. Maybe Mr Crooks could persuade him to come here?

I think the Luton and Coventry may be releasing a few now they are promoted, what better than a couple of players who gained promotion just recently from the same league, i can think of 5 players from those 2 clubs who are brilliant at League 2 level but just not quite League 1 players.

But that's my opinion, if their respective managers keep them... who knows they may be good at league 1 level.

On the other hand i'd rather a young hungry team playing decent football and watching them grow together than an experienced team who must deliver promotion. I just think that at the current moment in time League 1 or League 2 isn't really a big deal until the off field issues are out of the way.

Take care,
Luke.

Anecdotally he always does well for me on Football Manager. Never cut it in the Championship for us mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're waiting to offload a few players before signing anyone else. Still stupidly overloaded with players that can play centrally. And 4 keepers??

Very quiet isn't it!

I at least expected a couple to have left by now. 1 signing by 8th June, that has to be the least by that date for a good number of years.

Whether it’s the time of year or just a reflection of the off the field situation there seems to be a real inertia around the club at the moment.
