Yeah I don't get the negativity either - we have 3 of our 4 strikers out injured for various lengths of time - if we buy someone then we will have to sell someone once they are all fit so we have brought in a reasonably young experienced striker to fill the gap. If he does well we can sign him for longer, if he becomes surplus to requirements we can get rid - good business for me.Re Forsell - it is only a trial , if he proves he still has it we can sign a player who should be great at this level - if he is no longer up to it - we get rid - simple and good management again I think fans general disillusionment with Bates and the club in general is clouding peoples judgement.Yes it is annoying to see players we are supposedly after, going elsewhere, yes it is annoying that we have not really brought anyone in BUT for me Longeran is at least as good as Smicheal, Clayton is streets ahead of Kilkenny, a fit Michael Brown is more useful than Bradley Johnson, so there is not too much really wrong (especailly if we get in one more midfield player and please please please a real proper left back)

I'd say Grella has a better goalscoring record than Paynter in competitive games for us, but Grayson would apparently play a 20-year-old debutant defender as center-forward when we need a goal than he would give Grella a chance. That's not fair either, as far as I'm concerned. To me it's all about scoring goals in the league, and Paynter just hasn't done that. And he's gotten himself injured at the start of two seasons in a row. I'd have sold him (and Grella, since Grayson clearly doesn't rate him) this summer, to be honest with you. Maybe Paynter was good for Swindon, but he isn't good enough for us. (And of course, I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong by Paynter coming back from injury, establishing himself as the first choice center-forward and scoring 30 goals as he powers us to automatic promotion. I just don't think that's going to happen.) Cheers!

He then got injured and missed an entire preseason. When he was fit his appearances were limited to 30 second cameos at the end of games. He scored at Preston (great finish) and also at home to Newcastle preseason. He mullered us a couple of years ago for Swindon at ER. Do you honestly believe he's been given a fair crack?

Wolves are desperate to sell him. He's obviously shit. Paynter for me. Don't get why everyone is so -ve about him. He's had limited opportunity and had scored a few times. Give him a run.
