I think the transfer window has been very good. As good as any I can remember in recent times. Of course only time will tell. Bearing in mind that most of our supporters would be happy with a mid-table finish for our first year back in league one, I think we have a squad that can comfortably achieve that aim.

Burnley 1 v 2 Bristol City Millwall 2 v 1 Bolton Wanderers Barnsley 2 v 0 Stevenage Burton Albion 1 v 1 Cambridge United Accrington Stanley 0 v 2 Crawley Town Bristol Rovers 3 v 1 Rotherham United (joker) Fylde 2 v 1 Worthing Wealdstone 2 v 2 Kidderminster Harriers

It’s Ollie Cooper for me. Not just for the goal which was real class. He looks the complete midfielder. Can play in the 10 or the 6 role. He can tackle, turn and glide past defenders and of course he knows how to put the ball in the back of the net and on top of all that, his work rate is phenomenal. What a player.

Jodi has been one of the few genuinely class players we have had in recent times. We will always remember his goal against Boreham Wood in the semi final, the season of record assists and his masterclass against Salford at Wembley. He will go down as a true legend of the club. Jodi's message to the club and fans seems to me to suggest he is not bitter and probably understands the position of the club. I think the fact that he has ended up at Bromley on transfer deadline day may also suggest there were no other offers for him. Other clubs while recognising his talent, not willing to take the risk with his injury record. The question for him now is without a proper pre-season, when will he be match fit to play for Bromley. Lets hope they don't rush him back and cause a career ending injury. I'm sure he will receive a warm reception when he plays again at Meadow Lane.

Straight swap for Jodi?

The last piece of the jigsaw! Patto’s got the tools, let’s see what he can do with them. COYP!

Certainly without Smyth we don't win that match. Great headed goal and well executed penalty. However, he only played one half and the rest of his all-round play is a work in progress. I think the best is yet to come. So with that in mind, I've gone for Finneran. What a player he is going to be! Only 18 trained with us once and put in a performance like that. Clearly his quality is above league 1, not just his technical ability on the ball, but his speed of thought in making a wide range of passes.

Another good team performance, difficult to single one player out. My vote goes to Ollie Cooper, not just for his work in the final third and a really good goal, but also for his defensive work. A good all-round effort from him.

I have gone for comfortable mid table finish. If we can add a goal scorer upfront, we might do even better.

Derby County 1 v 1 Cardiff City Southampton 2 v 1 Stoke City Bromley 1 v 0 Cambridge United - Joker Peterborough United 2 v 2 Mansfield Town Stevenage 1 v 2 Oxford United Crewe Alexandra 2 v 0 Northampton Town Rotherham United 2 v 1 York City Swindon Town 1 v 1 Cheltenham Town

What a contrast to the striker situation. There is more about who starts in the first place.

It’s a difficult one @theAnticlough to single anyone out. I can see why Patto is reluctant to do it especially when everyone played their part. The sponsors have to choose someone and to be fair everyone who has chosen a different player have good reason to do so. Long may that continue, it means we are playing as a team and not relying on individuals.

When Martin Paterson took over last season he said judge me after 10 games. In fact it's an often used rule of thumb in football at the beginning of a new season. Based on that criteria we have a lot to look forward to after an excellent performance against Leicester. Despite all the new signings (only four of the starters played against Salford at Wembley) the team is already starting to gel. We have several players to come back from injury (Max Sanders will be like a new signing when he's fit) Players not yet in the first eleven like Baker, Mustapha and Samuels-Smith ready to make an impact, not to mention the potential to sign a new striker before the window closes. In that context, yesterday was most definitely a good start, a very good start. COYP

I thought everyone was outstanding yesterday. There were a lot of candidates for MOM. Ness was brilliant in defence, Lipsiuc was great at wing back and the whole of the midfield were excellent. But I suppose Tsaroulla not only for his general wingback play, but the goal line clearance and cross that lead to the goal gives him the edge for me.
