We definitely have a chance as does everyone in them. Obviously the chances increase the higher up the table we finish.

IF and once again it's a big IF one of our main two goalscorers go then we would have less of a chance IMO and fans confidence would naturally fall. But until that happens why worry about it, if they both stay and stay healthy not many sides will fancy facing this dynamic attacking duo.

Top spot is a big ask, a play off spot is very achievable and an absolute minimum requirement.

They are that dynamic its very seldom that we manage to score more than one or two goals in games, and thats even against the so called weaker tems. Its those frailties that will eventually cost us...How we miss having a Wes Thomas or Kristian Dennis in the side..

We do need to score more and beat lower placed sides for sure. Although saying that our record against top sides has been good so that is helpful in the playoffs where you are meeting top 7 sides.

We're we a better side when we did have Thomas and/or Dennis in the side?

I'd go as far as saying we miss Thomas more than Dennis this season.

For those few weeks at the end of the cancelled 19/20 season we were (basically after Cal arrived). That’s the best we’ve been since we came down, but I would say this is easily the best we’ve been at this stage of the season out of the three years.

I'd go with all that. It was only a brief period but no player had a bigger impact at the club at this level than the arrival of Cal version 1.0.

In our current formation/setup i'd take Thomas over Dennis if given the choice purely cos he suits the system better.

Yes, Wes Thomas used to score loads for us, didn’t he?

But we seemed to create/score more when he was in the side, yes he missed some but he had pace which scares defenders.

I think losing Wes to covid last season was a big blow for us. You could see that the partnership between him and Woots was really starting to flourish. I can think of a few occasions when his determination to chase a lost cause resulted in winning/saving us points.

Yes it was a loss to lose Wes Thomas. Also I can't find any online articles or anything that state he has joined another club either since leaving Notts.

I seem to remember that he'd refused to train with the squad for a couple of months prior to his request for the club to terminate his contract, because of Covid concerns. I think he cited family reasons for leaving Notts. So I'm not surprised he hasn't signed for another club, as no doubt those concerns, like Covid, still exist.
