That’s exactly what we should avoid, buying just anyone. We have three strikers who aren’t ready to do the job, buying another one won’t help.

I'm not trying to be funny, why weren't we working on identifying strikers (especially ones out of contract) and starting negotiations on February 1st once the last window closed and it was clear we'd failed to get a striker in and would be in trouble for the rest of the season.
Being completely honest, I don't think he really cares what it brings. He's only interested in scruffy diamonds that he can hand over to RLB to polish up, and then he will get all the praise. He's succeeded at that with the Bellinghams and I honestly think that finding and developing players is an end in itself to him.
I'm just waiting and hoping for our recruitment to prove me wrong.

Just opened the EFL fantasy league and filtered out our forwards as it shows a percentage of who has picked players. Clarkey is down as forward and 5.7% picked him.
0% the others.
Even Oxford have 2 picked, Derby have 4.

I think most players would want to know who the coach is that they are going to be working under surely.

From the little we know it looks we have identified two who we think can do the job and as of now they’re both still available.
Do people really want us to give up on those and sign someone we think isn’t as good?
if we don’t get one of them in, and don’t identify a suitable alternative, then yea that’s complete malpractice.
We've identified our no1 target and we are trying tp persuade the new owners of his parent club to agree a deal.
We signed four players on one day the same day we signed mowbray, much of the leg work would have been done without them knowing for sure who was going to be in charge.
But they were kids , signed as u21 players to coach and train on. We are talking about experienced strikers now , signing one is a different ball game , excuse the pun.

No wonder our head coaches/managers get frustrated. I can see The new fella is quite passionate and I don't think he will hold back if not backed like he was told

Probably a lot of truth in that. They are sacrificing the team for individual sales down the line.
The fact is, sadly, if the team improves which it undoubtedly will with a competent CF all the players values will rise.
I think most of us buy into getting younger players but you need that bit of nous and experience and it costs particularly up front.
He needs to kick off given how his last job ended otherwise he is just the next fall guy.
Neil and Mowbray couldn’t have been more up front and Mowbray was sacked because of it. It should have been Speakman that went not TM.

....For peanuts.
Which was another absolute cluster f#ck by the club.
If RLB hadn't relegated his former club, we may have still been looking for a Head Coach and a striker or two!

Absolute joke. Year after year players brought in at the end of the window well after the season has started and potential points lost. So frustrating! Add to that we really need two strikers brought in never mind one!

I'd suspect it's mainly because clubs have no interest in their players being unsettled by ongoing negotiations during the season run-in.

Can’t see the fans holding back this season if we don’t sign a proper striker.
