Sorry, what? I see two players going for the same ball. Collisions like that happen multiple times a game in versions of football where the ball is pointy. You can be physically/genetically predisposed to it happening, apparently. Glad I'm not alone in thinking that. 'Rivalry' aside, that's not reckless - it's clumsy at worst. Ross-esque. For me it’s hard to tell if it was poorly intentioned or clumsy watching that. Hope he has a full recovery - he will be back on the bench for our game!

I see Northampton have signed Tyreece Simpson today on loan. I’m pretty sure his name has been linked with us in the past. He would’ve been perfect for us whilst Wootton’s out. I wonder if we enquired? This is why I find our recruitment quite underwhelming. Wootton was our top scorer and most important player. He's injured & we haven't replaced him. It's pretty baffling. I know there's still time but it should have been done by now. If we were changing style of play and maybe playing on the deck more than I can understand it but going off Saturday it didn't seem that way.

You just know his first game back will be against us in September. Hope so and somebody nudges him in the ribs at a corner

It's quite a tricky one as we ideally want to find a good enough number 9 is happy with a short contract and knowing he will be replaced after a few months. At least to me that's why the prospect of one has been played down. Not impossible though and I still hope we find something.

What you describe is a Loan signing - absolutely no reason why we haven’t got one sorted given the need has been clear since April - other than we don’t want one For me we should have two Target Men competing/covering anyway - we overplayed Wootton and left him vulnerable to precisely the type of injury he sustained

Like I said in the other thread, I'm sure its not like Amazon out there.

He won't be replaced in a few months if he has scored 1 in 2 by the time Wootton is back. If he hasn't then it's tough shit as you haven't earned your place. Don't like it? Go join a club like Wimbledon where there is zero expectation. I think every player should know this when joining a club like County, Gillingham, Wrexham etc. We have high ambitions, high ambitions means being ruthless in the pursuit of your goals. If the difference between getting promoted this season and having a great striker for league 1 is that Wootton or others are pumped down the pecking order the club should be biting their hand off for it.

Both are key players who will be out for similar(ish) amounts of time. I suspect Wrexham will make a big signing whereas we won't, frustratingly.

Wrexham have been linked with James Norwood prior to the injury so assume they will push more for that

With the players we have we really ought to be addressing these tactically, on the training pitch. That inability to adjust is worse than the recruitment in many ways.

Who is to say whoever we signed would be actually better than Wootton and not a stand in watered down version of him. Not knocking what Wootton did for us in any way but some fans thing he is impossible to replace and there is no one as better out there.
