Austin, what have we got to lose ?

We top by 3 with game in hand.. I would have bitten your hand off at the start of the season.

Last 20 games are no different from the first 26, if you approach things professionally. We can get over excited, but with people like Jones/Warnock at the helm, they are level headed to know how to get results.

I'm not disputing how well we've performed to date but Mackie featured in almost everyone of those games. Walker played the majority and Agyemang scored two crucial goals - all three are now unavailable and need replacing. And not with just bench players but actual quality replacements.

Only then will we have enough to get over the line.

On the swindon forums they think that generally Austin is better than Cox.

A good future prospect maybe, but he doesn't fit NW's system of a lone striker bringing others in. From what I've seen he is a poacher, he finds space in the box, loses his marker and takes his chances well. Can't see him as a strong hold up player, and not sure he is tall enough for aerial flick-ons. In a 4-4-2 he would be good, but we don't play that style because of Tarbs.

In his interview Mick Jones indicated it was just his agent banding his name about.

If we wanted him, being top of the championship we'd probably get him

I agree with that. Mabe Worno dont rate him as good enough for us.

Austin is worth the risk and if we got him I think we would win the league but we won't bid for him(or anyone else) so won't happen,neither

Oh Yeah, he'll be just south of about £25,000 a week.

Why are people still talking about Austin, he ain't coming end off!

[G.T.P]

no-ones saying he is, its football chat and 1.5 million is a steal for our ex player/manager is it not?
