Strikers score goals
This idea that any old striker will do is nonsense isn’t it. Was like playing with 10 men with these you mention. We’ve missed OUR strikers this year, not A strikerDanny Graham, Will Grigg and Jozy Altidore would beg to differ ...
The last (and possibly only) time we've had four good strikers was Phillips, Quinn, Dichio and Bridges over 20 years ago. Are these people only remembering that period? Have to be because I've no clue where the idea of "we must have 4 of our own strikers" comes from.This idea that any old striker will do is nonsense isn’t it.

This. A new striker must fit the mould we’ve carefully created this season.This idea that any old striker will do is nonsense isn’t it. Was like playing with 10 men with these you mention. We’ve missed OUR strikers this year, not A striker
The capitals did it for meEarlier in the season we were playing with stewart and simms up front. 2 strikers . So therefore we need cover for 2 so we need 4 . 3 at an absolute push. It’s not being back in the dark ages and please don’t bang on like it’s rocket science with this false 9 crap . WE NEED 4 STRIKERS AT THE CLUB. We played about 6 games with none and it was a joke. We would have easily been in play off spot had we actually had back up. Yes speakman you have recruited in general very well but please sort the f***ing striker situation out once and for all and please don’t insult peoples intelligence by talking about how dajaku could play there. He’s shite .

Trying far too hardif i supported Newcastle who are on the verge of a cup final, possibly a champions league place and one of the richest clubs in the world??

We started the season with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Simms on the bench as cover for Stewart, who had just gone a full season without injury.
Having one first choice and a good quality back up is the basis for a good squad.
Only the manager in the Bristol City game decided to change formation and go 2 up top and it worked. The recruitment team did try and get cover before the window shut but it’s hard to get quality at short notice. Remember that if the right player was not available and they just brought in any old player just to make up the numbers, we would potentially not be able to bring in the right player when they did come available.
Let’s face it with Amad and Roberts playing so well, even if Stewart and Simms were here and fit now only one of them would start.
Pretty sure Waghorn left as we got Gyan and never scored for us. If he did I can't remember it. It still makes no sense having four atm and it's not realistic to be bringing in that many all at once as the op reckons is what must happen.We had Bent, Gyan, Welbeck and Waghorn for a period. Which is a similar level of skill, if not variety, of the 4 you mention.

Yes. And this dates back to the day that playing 2 up front was the norm. These days a 'lone striker' is more common, and I reckon 4-2-3-1 has been our most used formation of late. Also, Bridges wasn't happy and didn't really flourish in that period because of limited game time.
