Becchio offers something different, which is why I assume Grayson won't drop him. As for Gradel, it's a tough one because all the midfield have performed well so far, so thankfully not my decision to make. This time last season, Johnson would have been the obvious choice, but he's on fire now so christ knows! Hi Paul, I think the one minor problem Vokes may have is that he’s a little too like Beckford.

I do think Kandol should have started though, with Vokes being brought on later. Who's going to give way to Gradel? He can play in numerous positions, so that in itself will be interesting. We are now starting to get the kind of squad quality that can take us out of this division with no fewer than six higher league players currently signed, all be it two of them on loan. I think Bechio will struggle to get back in when you see what Vokes can do in this league (ask Bournmouth fans about his goal scoring prowess). All in all two brilliant signings who will shine in this third tier, but i'd be very surprised if we keep either, as no offence but they're too good for league one. Exciting times ahead though MOT.
