Having to play a full back centre forward


Gelhardt was lined up to come in & supplement RS, he was never a replacement, as soon as RS got injured a replacement should have been the priority.
Ross Stuart got injured on Saturday afternoon and the window shut when, Tuesday night? They've already made it public they tried several avenues to get someone in but unfortunately couldn't get a deal over the line, you'd think they deliberately twiddled their thumbs through to sunset.

1 out and out striker was never enough mind even before Stewarts injury. Gelhardt simply isn't a striker.

We started the season with 2 and spent 3 months with 0 even then. Ideally we should have had 3 including one who could play wide. So we were definitely 1 short even before the injury. Simple as that.
 
He said yesterday we are a few strikers away from becoming a good team.

And words to the affect of if we had stewart or somebody in the box we would have won the game.
So iif we go on a bad run is he going to get a pass for the rest of the season because Stewart isn't available or will he be judged on his results with the squad he's got now ?
You best tell TM then as he mentioned it after the game as well
See my other post..

4 weeks earlier than that, when the window first opened, we had 1 fit centre forward at the club, who had just come back from a long term injury. It’s incompetence from the club that they didn’t get backup in. We have cover for every other position in the team.

I'll certainly give him a near free pass when get had 3 months with no striker and then another half a season without one.

We scored yesterday when batth went up and dragged 2 defenders away. We really have chucked it away
 
I am watching a really talented team struggling to break down an organised defence because we did not sign an experienced striker and having to play a full back as a make shift striker.
I said it at the time and every week since and does not matter how this game finishes it was beyond ridiculous not signing a striker and will cost us promotion.

You do know that you posting thread after thread after thread won't fix it.

Give it a rest man.

Negligence not incompetence for me!
 
We went uop yes but we got away with a strategy which was clearly wrong then (as i may have said once of twice). We've been desperate for OUR OWN strikers for 4 windows. We cleared the decks of those not up to the task and didn't replace them. If we'd done the same in any other area of the pitch it'd be the same but in the most important area its costing us more.

As far as suitable suggestions that's for the recruitment team who are hailed on here to sort. Plenty around to chose from.
Do you not start to bore yourself with the same old posts every time we lose?
I was also frustrated with the last transfer window, but what is the point of posting the same old shit for the 500th time?

1 striker was never enough, just like 2 wasn’t enough from August - December.

Simms was recalled before the window even opened. We already needed a striker to go with Stewart/Simms. They had all month to sort it, and although I do not doubt that they tried, they ultimately failed

Oops You've forgotten again, we did get backup in, remember that loan striker you forgot about upthread
