    We won't be signing strikers from L1 if all goes to plan. NJ's comments about Godden yesterday make that pretty clear
    I've missed that. What did he say about Godden?

    (Hopefully I'm giving him a new contract)

    He said we’d missed his Championship experience and said how hard it was for our strikers to adapt to the Championship with no (or very little) Championship experience. The implication there was that we don’t want to be spending money on players who need to adapt that much again. It also seems to me that we’re likely to trigger Godden’s extra year but we won’t know for a few days at least

    Jones: “If we’d had a fitter Matty Godden then we’d have had 60-plus points. He would’ve scored goals with his know-how.

    We really wanted Godden to be a top player for us but he has had a really frustrating year. If we’d had him the whole season then I’ve no doubt he would have scored 10 goals. If Matty Godden scores 10 goals it means we could have had six or seven more points. You don’t know, but that is the reality of it.

    Might be worth seeing if there are any Plymouth players we might fancy, pebble and Tolaj the two I can think of and use Alex as a makeweight 
    Can see us being keen on both of them but Tolaj is likely to attract bigger clubs (or at least ones that can pay more) 

    Fairly sure Jones signed Pepple for Luton. 
    Pepple also has a release clause if its very low then that would potentially be something Jones would make an exception on with no real risk

    We’ve already got a lot of young strikers with potential contracted. I think any striker signing is going to be more experienced
