Striker situation

We’ve won without strikers. We’ve lost with two on the pitch. We miss Ross Stewart. We miss having a second option as good as him. Needs to let it rest till the summer.

Do you honestly think we deliberately just look at options that fit this bill and go nahhhhhh cba to do that.

Good
Well i've just listed all options so it looks that way. The club chose not to sign a permanent striker in 2 years not the fans. All the while RS contract is running down. The summer will see us in a more difficult position with agents and clubs knowing how much we need players in. Its only going to get more expensive not less.
 

At no point have I suggested removing people from their posts, thats mad! What we want is team strengthened in the most key area for the first time in 2 years, its something suporters have been able to see for multiple transfer windows but the club seem to think they can bodge it and get by.

This thread is literally about our lack of strikers. I was slagged off earlier today for not making my point on Wednesday ( I did however post on the match thread so that poster was clearly incorrect) I'm dammed if I do post and dammed if I don't it seems.
But why keep repeating the same thing? Everyone agrees we needed to sign more strikers. It simply doesn't need saying anymore. As I say the interesting thing is how we get goals out of what we have.

Its a thread on that very subject. If you don't like it post on other threads. The reason these threads and my posts happen is due to the clubs inactively, rather than blaming me maybe look at them.

Where’ve you listed options?

I'm just saying you are like a cracked record repeating the same point week after week. Do you have anything fresh to say or will you just repeat the same point everytime we donn't win?
 
If we are to believe the press we were chasing Simms, Archer, Nemeth and probably others. In any window there will be others we don't know about. Its quite clear Speakman wanted more and he failed to get them done. I think its time to move on.
Listen to his recent interview. His own words would suggest otherwise.

Look at my post, listed options of markets we could have brought players in from, or did you think I'd list names like a scout? :lol:
 
Many have and are higher than us in the pyramid as a result.
eh since speakman came in how high realistically in the pyramid should we now be? Since speakman came in two years ago how many clubs have made better progress than us as a result of buying forwards? Wigan and Ipswich certainly buy plenty.
 
Going to end up costing us the playoffs like.

Amad is well and truly off the pace atm and Gelhardt can't hold it up. The ball keeps coming back and back because we can't get out.

Gutting
I don't think it will got plenty goals from other areas. It's definately cost us automatic promotion though. We are the best team in those 6 positions. Gelhardt just needs a goal and get used to how we play then I think he'll be flying. He's getting in the right positions.

Well you seem very adamant there were great options for us that we ignored. You’d hope it was based on something.
 
The subs cost us today.

Not who was brought on, in fact 09 did very well. But taking off our outlets all in the blink of an eye was very uncharacteristic.
Yeah took our threats off. They couldn't handle Clarke.
Isn’t a centre forward in a million years. Never has been.

Was hyped up by incompetent people when the window closed, to cover their incompetence.
Jesus he's played 3 games

Since speakman came in how many strikers has be signed on a permanent basis. I've gone on record many times to praise the clubs transfer policy in many area's but the centre forward position is just baffling, and everyone, whether they admit it or now knows it.

I'm certain that given the amount of recruitment in al most all other areas of the field that we'd have identified multiple options to sign up from (if not what are we paying the recruitment team for?)
