    You see some fans (not on PoN of course) complaining that we haven't signed a striker proven at League One level. The fact is we have only once, under the current owners, signed a goalscorer who is pr

    Meltdown on X about this signing was expected. A terrible welcome to another Notts signing who was brought in by Notts after they had done their research & the club think that he fits the Notts

    This signing has Martin Paterson's fingerprints all over it. He a tall, strong, physical centre forward who can hold the ball up and bring other players into play. He appears to be a similar forward t

I felt a little surprised and dubious of his existing stats, but I reminded myself that we have taken players who haven't had a strong previous goalscoring record but have managed to score. Some players don't have the strength in depth from team mates in terms of quality, and the style we play does make it a lot easier for a striker just to finish chances.

Sometimes it's unfair to pass judgement before allowing a player to settle, and I am more inclined to trust the recritment because we have done far better with finding strikers under the Reedtz era.

Personally, I can't write him off and I won't. I am nervous that if he doesn't settle or do well, that we might end up struggling in this area rather than adding to the problem. I will only try to encourage him, and give my fullest support in the hope that he does prove to be a great signing. Some players thrive in the right environment, and I would hope that we can help with making him feel at home, instead of feeling like he needs to win us over.

If he works hard, puts the effort in and contributes towards keeping us in League One or pushing forward that is all I can ask.

A field where dreams become reality.

I just hope all the negativity surrounding him doesn’t affect his confidence before he has had time show what he can do.

His performances in Denmark give some hope that he is not a Tony Hackworth-less in disguise
