Knotts mental problems aren't the reason he is now playing in non league. It's because he could lnt perform consistently enough to warrant a place in a team. Knott was another with a piss poor footballing brain. All the talent in the world isn’t worth a wank if it’s hooked up to a hamster in a wheel. Plus he’d retreat into his shell at the first hint of the crowd being pissed at him. The first groan at a poor pass and his bollocks would retract into his intestines. This is the problem when people quote 'talent. How do you measure talent? If you go from club to club but keep being let go I'd suggest you aren't talented enough to warrant a job at that level. All about levels is sport, anyone can have a good game here and there.

It's a difficult one. His goal scoring rate since signing is decent but I'm not sure he's that striker that gets you promotion. I noticed Doyle scored again yesterday, 16 for the season. What you got to ask is which one gets you promoted. Same with Vaughan. If you pick either of those two over Cook then I'd suggest Cook isn't the answer. Our inability to get a tune out of Doyle, and to a lesser extent Vaughan, is an embarrassment. As for Cook, he's understated, but he can finish. I'd keep him, but I'd like to think we can bring in a stronger one. Novak and Donaldson, swapped out for 1 top drawer striker, with Cook and Rowe in and around the mix too, is what we need for that striker berth. We need a class wide player - a properly class one. Probably a loan, but a quality loan, like the lad who Bolton have on loan (from West Ham I think). At least 1, maybe 2 central midfielders of real quality. 2 full backs. And a keeper. There's still a fuck ton to do, despite January being more positive than normal. People mention keeping Cook as a squad player but that's exactly the reason he's left Mansfield but he wanted game time. Theres a wonderful notion that players will just sit on the bench and wait their turn till the first teamer gets injured. I want us to sign a striker that is a guaranteed starter, both Vaughan and Doyle are first names on the team sheet now they've left Bradford.

Aye, it's the brain that makes the difference between players, especially the ability to deal with pressure. Some have it and some go to pieces, Knott definitely couldn't deal with the pressure and went to pieces if he made a mistake. I think the mental health issues were there long before he turned to booze. Watt isn't like that, but he needs to learn to choose passes more wisely and do the cynical stuff in the middle.

He's been wanting to sign for us for years and he came close when he left Tranmere. He really wants to stay but it sounds like Mansfield are wanting money for him.

Well they can swivel because he’s out of contract in the summer.

The lads dynamite. Now is no time to get gunshy and go full Rhodes. Mansfield are fucking arse and will be looking for some spending money to improve their arse team. We can probably get him for a good price.
Cook is locked on to become a Doyle if he goes back to Mansfield. They didn't use him right, and they wont. Give us him now or we'll pick him up on a free after next season. CUNTS!

He's 31 in October there's not much transfer fee in a 31 year league 2 striker unless they're scoring 25 plus a season and he isn't.
