Who did you expect Nige Raheem Stirling or Christian Benteke, we ain’t in the Forbes list😉.
He will certainly add a bit more up top than we have got currently. Time yet, keep the faith 😁go play a game or twenty of patience and eat your tea.👍

I really wonder what folk expect. We have Hemmings and Walker injured two forwards that if fit we would probably have looked to offload this month to free up some cash. Harrogate ain’t exactly signed a marquee forward Aquah and a lad released by Truro who are looking like relegation candidates from the National league
If the forward being named is who we sign he must have something about him with league one Stevenage taking him from Gateshead for a fee on a two year deal
We signed Rose for a fee proven in league 2 he won’t be playing for peanuts

Just seen a solo goal on Facebook. One of them a match will do me. Can't understand fans complaining when you've never seen them play.

I agree but some of the manager suggestions were equally ambitious.

If he can stay fit till the end of the season even just that will be a big improvement on most of our attacking options

Not like you to write someone off immediately.

It was only 12 months ago that people were doing exactly the same about a loan striker from Stevenage. Four months later most wanted him on a permanent! Stevenage had seen enough to sign Malcolm for a fee in the summer.

That's because we're in a serious position and listen I hope he does well but it's another shot in the dark and to be honest if he's not to play as a striker can't see the point !

Got a good feeling about him and rose up front, gives us options and more threat, gotta give the lad a chance.

We've paid money for a few players and brought more in on loan (potentially 1 more)
The club isn't loaded and the Manager obviously has seen these lads play so lets get behind them.

Not sure a 20 year old centre half is what we need in a relegation battle. Hopefully we have uncovered another gem from forest like when Yates came here. Good to see he’s made the europa league squads as well
