    Disappointed, and he'll certainly need replacing.
    How many goals does a top 2 side usually get? We're going to need enough scoring in the squad to hit that target...

    As we all know, he was mainly a box player - a great finisher and a neat, skilful footballer. When he wasn't scoring though, his contribution could nose-dive - he didn't get too many starts away from home

    Good luck to Kristian Dennis at St.Mirren, Notts fans will be checking their results hoping to see him on the scoresheet

Pretty much everyone thought he was a big waste of money last season when I was one of few arguing that we didn't play to his strengths.

    His problem was that if he wasn't poaching a goal he was usually not involved at all and you wouldn't notice he was playing until he scored or was subbed off whereas someone like Wes Thomas puts himself about, chases everything down, gets stuck in, holds the ball up and still scores the odd goal, it wasn't that surprising to me that he seemed to start more often than not because he brings more to the side in general play than Dennis ever did.

    It's a bit like Osbourne and Grant, they could be complete passengers all game then pop up with a goal and fans think they had a brilliant 90 minutes
    Fact is he is a good player , especially at National League, think he scored more than the odd goal
    If Ardley does not play to Dennis strenghts, why is that his fault
    The fact that other clubs are interested in him tells the story
    It did,nt do Hemmings any harm going to scotland, he is now in league 1 , instead of the National league, and if dennis comes back to england , you probabably find him at a similar level

    Good player
    Very good finisher
    Not used to his potential by multiple managers, didn't play to his strengths
    Away from home he looked half the player and sometimes went MIA.
    Didn't stretch sides or impose himself , a pure poacher.
    Expensive flop?

    But will be missed, needs replacing.

    Wish him well
