It’s pathetic really because as a club we are finding difficult to replace quality players from last season. Yet it will be easy to sign another striker who will score 20 plus goals for us this season.End of last season we were going to be stronger this season. We were going to build on our success that’s what Grant McCann said. He’s left the club because he said he was ambitious. John Marquis is ambitious and wants to play Championship football he may succeed he may fail but he wants to take that chance. At the moment we do not have a strong squad we haven’t as yet built on our success we had last season Darren may get the players we need. In the mean time why do supporters take out their frustrations on not being able to score on John Marquis when we do not have another player in our present squad that looks like scoring or providing the goals we will need.

This time last season the starting 11 was also looking fragile and then we added Wilks, Kane, Crawford and sadlier.
I know all this, My point being before the season started last season we weren’t much better off than we are now. At this point we had no sadlier, no Wilks and no Kane, Yet we had an outstanding season really,

At this point we had no sadlier, no Wilks and no Kane, Yet we had an outstanding season really,Agreed that Wilkes and Kane were outstanding signings.It was not accurate though to suggest that Crawford was signed so close to the start of the season as those two.Hopefully we will get at least one more loan signing as good before we kick off against Gillingham.As you have previously said, we do need other quality players before then too.
Are we waiting to sell before we buy?
We do need a couple of additions and then I think we will look pretty strong LawlorHalliday. Anderson. Wright. James Whiteman Sheaf Crawford. Copps. Sadlier. Marquis. I think it’s the 3 behind marquis where we could do with strengthening or providing other options, although that the area Blair would play for me too.

Crawford still suspect with consistency and not much pace behind Marquis - but if Lawlor can up his game that is a very solid back seven definitely.
You are right but he hasn’t really established himself anywhere yet due to his consistency issues. Feel we still have to see the real Ali Crawford.

Crawford would be back up for the 2 holding midfielders for me. No way he can play wide left

No way he can play wide left Who’s suggesting he should play wide left?His best position is amongst the three attacking midfielders, these interchange and cover everywhere on the pitch. I’ve even put him on the right not the left, unless you think marquis is our goalie and lawlor our striker 🙄
