    Lions point of view......

    first point is don't lose your keeper, of the best I have seen down the Den. Yes you had players missing, so did we but the point i would like to make is your recruiting strategy. We lost our best player in the summer (Jed Wallace) to West Brom who pay big money. So our gaffer Gary Rowett set off in search of a replacement he found one in a Dutch league (Zian Flemming ).Hehas already scored 10 this season. We are not a rich club so we have to be selective Flemming cost £1.7 mill but worth it. He also previously bought Tom Bradshaw from Barnsley for a Mill, besides Sunday Tom put 3 past Watford . So instead of recruiting some journeymen to concentrate on some good players that the big clubs have overlooked. Hope that you stay up as the Championship would be the poorer without you.

    I agree Claw,we have an excellent keeper in Victor and you make some interesting points.What you saw yesterday was our team having no attacking threat at all.That is down to the manager having no strikers,through having injuries and a small number to start with.This affects our usually very good midfield because they have no outlets up front.Our chairman must assist the manager with the signings we clearly need to stay up.Get the right ones in and it can improve the whole team.We won't be spending 1.7 million but we should have enough to bring in the quality we need.Your club are similar in size to us and I think the vast majority of your fans are good honest lads.The mainstream media will always taint your fans,that's how they are by stereo typing everybody for what happened years ago.

    If we bought 3 1/2 of our record signings it would equate to what you paid for Flemming.

    It's not too long ago both our teams were in league 1. Wall have progressed and maintained championship football whereas we keep yo yoing.
    Wall must be doing something right apart from your second season back in the championship.
    £1.7m is out of our league, its not happening and we got outbid on Bradshaw by Barnsley a while ago.
    Tough times at NYS.
