It was Simmo's job to bring players in to supply the ammunition which he failed to do hence the lack of goals or service our forward players have received. You could see what was going to happen in pre-season as it's not exactly rocket science. Wyke’s had enough chances and there’s been enough ammunition for him to be the divisions top scorer so far. If balls are being played in and he hasn’t got the desire to get on the end of them then that shouldn’t be a criticism of the providers. If the two chances he's hit the woodwork with had gone in and he had two goals for the season would you be as critical? He had the desire to be on the end of those chances.

Of course I wouldn’t be as critical as he’d be doing his job, but they haven’t gone in, he’s missed them, so should expect criticism. Both chances essentially fell to him in the box and he reacted, hardly a desire to get there. There’s been plenty other balls put across goal so far where he’s been nowhere to be seen, not what you expect from a highly paid centre forward at this level. He was reluctant to come and hasn’t shown much since he did arrive. Worrying for someone on a reported half million pound contract.

You could see what was going to happen in pre-season as it's not exactly rocket science. It would seem that highly paid strikers, all of good pedigree in Kelly, Armstrong and Wyke will come here but the same quality midfields do not fancy it. Perhaps the club didn't mind pushing the boat out to sign strikers and go the extra mile to get them but have not been doing the same in midfield as they thought that what we have is already good enough for this level.

He's a class act, and he'll score goals for us, as will Armstrong, given an opportunity and the right service.
People seem to forget that these are players with proven track records, playing in a team with no confidence, waiting on a new manager, on the back of a horror season, with an absolutely dross midfield behind them.
We have a long and depressing record of getting in good players, playing them out of position or not playing to their strengths, wrecking their confidence and having the crowd getting on their backs. Simmo and his coaches have a lot to answer for.

Even in the dark days of League One we scored at least one goal in a lot of the games.
Always a chance of nicking it then but we only managed to win a couple of times by one nil.
If the new manager can get us playing with more confidence at the back then I am sure that Wyke will be the one to nick us a few games by a narrow margin.
Surely the quality would be lower you would think in this bottom tier but we still have not played Notts County, Doncaster or Chesterfield yet - when I looked at the teams we have to play there was not that many I would say were easy games for our squad in its current form.
When you look at who could be in trouble however I would think that there will be Morecambe unfortunately down there and possibly Newport and Harrogate but it is early days yet.
With this league having the top seven to play for you can run into a bit of form however and seventh can potentially be enough to get you promoted so our new management team could target who they want in January for a push.
We also have the possibility of the new manager bounce effect.

I've never seen the new manager bounce effect for us but it seems to happen everywhere else!

I've never seen the new manager bounce effect for us but it seems to happen everywhere else! Simmo`s appointment back in Feb 2022 had a bit of a bounce on the teams performance and results.

I've never seen the new manager bounce effect for us but it seems to happen everywhere else! As said bellow I would say , the 4 wins in a row under Simmo and the 6 wins in 7 probably is a classed as a bounce.
