Popular Post Holmowl Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 ...for the next 22 games we go down. Not a striker, and 100% not a lone-striker, in a zillion years. He’s been an almost ever-present for 21 games and scored 3. Our record with him up top is dire. We have to buy/loan a proper striker or we are done. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Ronaldo and Messi would not score with our midfield. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 We somehow managed to release an injury plagued, past it, now 33 year old Gary Hooper 18 months ago... and somehow still end up in a situation where he’d be our best striker even now. Absolutely pathetic. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Who has ever claimed Windass is a lone striker?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The main problem is we’re just not a team. We’ve got a group of players that have been assembled at random without a plan. Pick any formation 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3 and we just haven’t got the right players and the pieces don’t fit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Harry Kane could be our striker ATM and the end result would be the same unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That’s the thing. We have 1 out and out striker and that is Rhodes. All these players being forced to play upfront that aren’t strikers. Its a joke. We need 2 signing before the window closes. We won’t though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never seem to bring players to the club that we actually need. Not just now but for the last 30 years, 'Sir' Jack and Sgt Wilko were the last managers to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Nope never a loan striker, Thompson couldn’t have got the team more wrong if he tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 With decent service, Windass would produce a reasonable haul of goals for us over the course of a season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a team sport and we are not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew how to put a team together with pieces that fit: Hirst and Williams, Palmer and Sheridan, King and Worthington. Combinations all over the park where the whole was often greater than the sum of the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 At least when we splashed stupid wages on big name players we had hope. Even if it was misplaced and totally naive hope as we headed towards FFP disaster, Now we’ve got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't get the ball to a striker. 2 out of 22 crosses completed tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan and Reach contributed enough in previous season for us not to be a bottom 6 side. Oh yeah, that was when we had genuine strikers to play to.

Have been saying it all season you cannot play midfielders up front, call them forwards then be shocked when they don't score goals. But Bannan has been just as bad 2 assists in 24 games completely useless. He would have got more if someone taught him how to take a corner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
