Think Tony and Barber maybe thinking they've made a mistake..........

I have a serious doubt our scouting team know what a decent striker looks like.

I agree. Bloody hopeless on the basis of what we have seen so far this season.

Is it not a bit early for panic to start setting in? we're only 2 points worse off than we were at this stage last season having scored 1 less goal and conceded the same.

The difference between this season and last at this point was the number of players out injured and needing to put in DS players.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Have we? Does he want to come back then?

Wood went out on further loans FOUR times after leaving us, before Leicester signed him. I'm pretty sure he would have jumped at the chance of a permanent move to the Albion at the time.

I think Baldock and CMS upfront would be better, hopefully both fit for the next game.

I'd prefer to see Baldock with a competent striker, we just need to sign one.

I've seen signs Hyypia is a good manager. He's just had to put a team together on a limited budget meaning he hasn't got any players who can actually put the ball in the net.

Burnley last season?

Enough money left?

A limited budget where 8 million pounds for a player disappears into the coffers? And is not spent.

Burnley last season?

Budget team with 2 goal scorers who managed 41 goals between them. If we had that kind of fire power we would be right in the title race.

 

[spanish flair]

I agree. Bloody hopeless on the basis of what we have seen so far this season.

But it is not just this season is it, we have been wanting to sign another good striker other than Ulloa for two seasons now.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I'd say yes, but failing that a loan would be fine.

 

[GT49er]

We had 15 shots today and only 2 on target.

Twelve on target according to the match stats.

(Edit: Apologies - my mistake - it was 2, not 12)

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Don't think you can blame Sami for today. Good performance for the most part and it's certainly not Sami's fault that we failed to score from the chances we created.

 

[B.W.]

I'd prefer to see Baldock with a competent striker, we just need to sign one.

Why? What has Baldock done so far to suggest he is good enough for the Championship? No better than CMS this season, who has also been ****ing useles. Colunga the invisible man yet again today. And COG good at hold-up play / lay-offs, but looks like he couldn't score in a brothel.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

I'd say yes, but failing that a loan would be fine.

Let's hope so.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Kemy, COG, Hughes, Toko and potentially Corlunga & Stockdale were all mistakes.

Selling Ulloa was great business... but they had so much time to find a replacement and didn't.

A bit tough calling Hughes a mistake. I'd say Sami knew he was going to use Dunk and needed an experienced CB as cover.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We've had umpteen chances to sign Chris Wood. Never took one of them. Shame, cos he knows where the goal is, unlike the current crop of so-called strikers.

No, no we haven't. West Brom were not looking to sell him.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Twelve on target according to the match stats.

Apologies if I'm wrong, got my stats from the BBC. And it sure didn't look like there was 12 shots on target either...

He's played less than 3 games for crying out loud, give him a chance for ffs. And as I've said, I'd like to see him play with a competent striker as he's going to struggle playing alongside a runner like CMS.

The difference between this season and last at this point was the number of players out injured and needing to put in DS players.

Not quite true as in the corresponding game last season the only youngster we started with was JFC, the rest of the team was experienced.

Baldock has been injured and Barnsley must have a lot of brothels.
