If we sign Armstrong will he play along side ward? Or instead of? If he replaces it means we will be looking to slip the ball in behind the defence for him to run onto as apose to up to him. Have the new set of players got that in their armour, I think they have. I suppose it gives us a couple of options. Playing two up front does take one out of our midfield, can we cope in defence with one less midfield player, I'm not sure on that one. Who would be a manager?

First thing I would say is that Danny Ward has done more than anyone to justify his place this season. Two goals in two games at NYS is outstanding considering our recent scoring issues. A Rotherham fan on PorG texted in after the game on Saturday to say he was nothing more than a show pony and wasn't worth his place. I almost ran off the road! I reckon AS is assembling a squad which is going to give him many options depending on the opposition. What excites me is that, against lesser teams he has great attacking options with Brown and Taylor playing wide and Ward/? up front. Against the tougher sides he can shore up his mid field with the likes of Adeyemi and Frecklington but still have some pace to counter on the break. Of our new midfielders, I hope Vaulks can build on his early promise - he's gone missing too much when the going gets tough. Allan could do with some strength training - he seems to get bullied easily, but I'm confident that F-C will prove very useful. His work is not always noticeable but he covers lots of area. We'll not really know the quality we have for at least a month when everyone's fit, the team have gelled and any new signings have arrived. That said, I'm cautiously optimistic!

Why don't we just announce it when we have secured him? Anyone not looking will be now anyway.

Yeah of course they would - but we shouldn't bite and announce we are in the running.
