I thought that; but i guess they read the other way round; so 24 games last season; that would make more sense.

he has been plauged with problems, yes....but bar the car crash last year how many injuries has he actually had? and how many of said injuries....were actually injuries and not cover stories?

fair point, but neither of us know for sure how many have been genuine injuries, how many have been down to drinking.

you can't rely on him to play 46 games a season though, he's still an alcoholic even if he's sober. things could take a turn for the worse at any time.

i'm not a betting man Wink

i do think he's going to have a stormer of a season though, he's got a lot to prove to himself, the club and the fans and i'm sure a successful season on the pitch will mean a happy christian off the pitch.

Another striker would be nice, but is not exactly priority at the mo.  To me, it seems that maybe the midfield could do with another body.  Apart from weston and pook, noone else in th centre is capable of playing a full season.  Also, signing another striker sends out a negative message to the likes of Caton, Holgate and Lukas J.  As for Roberts, Wisey seems to have faith in him, and he works with him everyday.  If he has faith, we should do too.  His ability is surely not in question, and if his attitude is right, he can be a key asset.

I have to disagree Doore. Unless the big man whatshisface comes good I think we do need another striker. Roberts/Peacock won't be effective or available every game, we need someone who can come in.

I am going to be slated but I am not 100% convinced RoboCock can provide all the goals we need to be pushing for promotion. I could be wrong though, I usually am!

Caton, Holgate and Lucas. We haven't seen Caton so I assume he is still firmly youth team. Holgate and Lucas show promise, but I am not sure they are quite there yet.
