Hindsight - James Vaughan
I went to our two pre-season home friendlies and Vaughan was by far our best forward in those two games, and scored a few goals pre-season.
He was aggressive, fairly quick (quicker than Jackson) and looked like he might be a handful.
Then we loaned him out. He may not have scored 15 goals, but surely was a better option with his pace and power than either Morison or Jackson, or later Kamara.
Complete hindsight, and some were happy for him to go because of his injury record. But I recall many not happy he was going.
In hindsight, a possible mistake.
