With a few additions to the squad I see no reason why we can't be champions of this division.

Salech a lumbering giant doesn't fit that type of game.
Tanner is better on the right wing.
Trott looks decent.
We still need a proper striker. maybe we could loan one from Wrexham as they have about 15 :)

Dons fans impressed by Rubin
Can’t agree about Salech, his hold up play, back to goal and linking people in is great. As soon as Robinson came on we lost all of that and he then missed the easiest chance we had.Quote:

From reading other clubs blogs etc, L1 teams are more paper thin than us. You only have to look at the bench of the teams we are up against.Quote:

Great save, when he was needed, he was there and won us the game !!!
Well done the defence too, a lot of pressure, they dug in and also got us the win.
What a difference a Manager makes.
a 33 year old lower leagues journeyman is not the way forward.Quote:

He wasn't even at his best, he's going to be a great player. I was a bit disappointed with Ashford, they are all going to be tired with another away trip on Saturday.Quote:

His big brother is a different class, it is a sad indictment on last seasons managers who failed to get a tune out of him.
Kpakio and Lawlor both have the potential to be something special.
Do you think the player himself should perhaps shoulder some of the blame for his weak, ineffective performances throughout much of last season? Is the drop in standard be suiting him?Quote:

Much as I like Robinson he unfortunately looked like a relic of last season’s woes. As for Willock, will we eventually play a team so bad that he looks half decent?
Praise indeed.

Robinson doesn't look interestedQuote:

he had 3 shots in his 27 minutes last night, which is as many as anyone else achieved in the whole game.
At one point last night I thought to myself that he looked like an excellent League One player, outstanding and a cut above. I watched the weekend’s Championship highlights and found myself admiring the play of a few of the players, players I’d not really heard of, and wondered if Colwill was as good as them (or are they in better teams that allowed them to perform).Quote:

For me it's early days, difficult to judge our promotion credentials until games like this Saturday coming up. Because we have a distinctive style of play I think sides are going to be able to prepare for us and set up to get numbers behind the ball. We're going to have to be more inventive around opposition's penalty box, and yes, this is a wafer thin squad and 3 quality signings are the absolute minimum I'd say.
Probably still thinks he’s too good for the league he finds himself in, a bit like the last few years….quite bizarreQuote:

We've had our share of ineffective lumbering forwards.
He's started three games for Karlsruhe in Bundesliga 2 and the German Cup this season.Quote:

By the way, one of the three games he's played for Karlsruhe this season was at Hertha Berlin. He started and played 66 minutes in a 0-0 draw. The crowd was 59,655 - a few more than were watching him when he was playing in our under-21's.Quote:
