BP1960 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I don't mean a winger playing up front, or a hold up man, I mean an out and out goal poacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshawlatic Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 We had a fairly decent one who's at Aberdeen as we speak - Rooney would have flourished in the current set up but hey ho thats the past - I agree we need someone who can find the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 A goal poacher today would have seen off Crewe early doors..I had never any confidence Forte, Ibhre or Philliskirk would find the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) We have eight contracted strikers/forwards. Think we may need to ship some out first. Edited December 26, 2014 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Who are these poachers who aren't poaching elsewhere and will play for peanuts?You have to find them, that's what's scouts do, plenty out there in non league if given a chance, always has been and always will be. I might even put my old hat on an look for one. For example no club has given Reeves of Altrincham a chance..I bet any money he would have scored against Crewe today. Why sign a striker from Bolton who never makes the bench?.. that's plain ridiculous. Edited December 26, 2014 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Have to agree, a striker is a priority, we look so poor in front of goal, also the majority of the shots on goal were straight at the keeper, now I was pretty limited as a player but I always tried to put it out of the reach of the keeper.

NewBlue Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 BP, it is glaringly, shockingly, frustratingly obvious that we are lacking in that position. And it cost us dearly today. I'm sick of Ibehre. The ball was placed on a plate at least 5 times today, crying out for a striker to simply tap it in. Where was our striker? Edge of the box or pissing around in a position he'd never score from. Can we bring in a striker who will stand on the goal line and tap the ball in when our multitude of attacking, creative players put it exactly where any half decent striker would want it. No more 'hold up', 'false 9s' and that :censored:. A man who gets paid to put the ball in the back of the net. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Sorry its a no from me, stick Bove in, what have we got to lose 24 football matches... I don't want Ched, unless his conviction is overturned, but we certainly need somebody because Ibehre doesn't cut it at this level in a top half team, and we're already mid-table and sliding. If Bove is good enough play him, if he's not then don't. We've still got a lot to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alangroves Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It's not just a true striker we need - there needs to be a much better contribution goals-wise from around the team. I cast an envious glance at Rochdale - far less resource than us but with a much more resilient all round team who have scored 10 more goals than us - and not in the habit of getting stuffed out of sight (even drew 2-2 at MK Dons away with a depleted side the week we played them).
