Striker
I'd say the form of Rashford has probably helped a bit too mind.It helps if they are good but Man Utd have turned their fortunes around with a shite striker who hasnt scored a goal for them on loan from a championship club

I believe the answer to this is Grigg, boring etcI said this at time, but the January window was a disaster. The lack of a striker and midfield experience is costing us.
I was saying this when we were winning games as you know because you were sticking up for Speakman.
We have a really talented team and it is soul destroying watching them struggle to break down teams without a focal point.
Two points made by the comnentators.
We were toothless.
The wingers are not confident of c rossing the ball quickly now.
I said at the end of January it would derail our promotion push and it has
Car crash recruitment.
No other reasoning
It's not baffling at all though is it?
Literally everyone would have taken a striker.
The issue is whenever this boring debate comes up, people just assume that we'll be signing someone class, and it wouldn't be the second coming of Will Grigg.
If you trust your process, and all signs point to the fact that we should, then you don't deviate from it or panic buy someone we don't think will contribute.
It's an utterly pointless debate because any time we win it doesn't get mentioned, and the only way for someone not to turn around and go "we should have just signed a striker man fuck sake any striker", would be if we made the playoffs. But even then you'd still probably get some people whinging that we would have been in the automatics if we signed a striker.
The debate completely ignores any semblance of nuance because it never factors in that the striker we signed could have been shite, might not have fit in to the system, our league form tanks anyway trying to incorporate him and we're also lumped with his wages for 3 years, which impacts on next season's budgets and so on.
I'm just saying promotion isn't guaranteed, even with a fit Stewart or any other striker.
Chances of going up are very slim so it's hard to get as upset as you are. If we went into this league as favorites, I'd feel differently.

TM has a free pass for me. He hasn't been given the players he needs. I honestly think if he had been backed the play offs were guaranteedI agree with you the chances of going up are slim but they wouldn''t have been if we had purchased a striker capable of putting the chances away our outstanding creative midfielders create.
Tony's words and I could not agree more
Tony Mowbray says Sunderland's lack of strikers left him feeling he was sending his team into battle 'without the tools to win' as they were beaten at Coventry City.

Are you taking the piss?Over the last 2 years many many strikers were available. Its not a recent issue. This is the result of poor squad management and transfer strategy.
Our manager mentioned strikers. You may want to let him knowAre you taking the piss?
Look at the players we've signed.
Then again we could go back to signing shite!
Are you having a laugh ? Every player on the planet at the right price !!!Who was available?
Mowbray has absolutely snookered the lads who won't allow any discussion about it.Our manager mentioned strikers. You may want to let him know
No he's a dripping flange if I recall?Mowbray has absolutely snookered the lads who won't allow any discussion about it.![]()
I'm talking sense. I've stated time and again some of our recruitment has been great. However no strikers in over a 2 year period. Ha'way even the most positive supporter can see the monumental cock up we've made. Its not a choice of no strikers or shit ones. Although we've loaned someone not fit for purpose so they're not even able to have a 100% record of loan strikers any longer.Are you taking the piss?

Every single player at the right priceAnd yet in the last two years we've been promoted and been at the sharp end of the championship.
Who was available to play at the sharp end of the championship?
Moany MowbrayNo he's a dripping flange if I recall?
At the next press conference I assume the press will just shout "we know" boring" at himMoany Mowbray
A 6.5 ft broom stick with a wig would score goals in this team. Such a shame we didn’t get a big forward in that last window. Our season is over, happy with our season if we stay up but with the skill and momentum we had I think we could have pushed for promotion. Would have been Much better than that dirty bunch of shit we played today if had we had a lump up front. Oh well season over on to the next one.Who was available?
