Will we muddle through until Ulloa returns without a loan striker?

[Icy Gull]

Will development players get a crack?
Do we cross our fingers that Barnes doesn't get injured or sent off

One has to assume that the club know what they are doing, maybe a striker will be signed before tomorrow or next week but can we maintain mid table at least by making do with what we have?

I rather hope this thread will be null and void and a striker signed within the hour

 

[Kumquat]

I think we will probably muddle through. The real problem is Orlandi not being fit and Spanish Dave being so woefully out of form as they chipped in when needed last year. I'd push Buckley forward myself and even consider playing Calderon on the right wing in front of Bruno. Calde certainly knows how to hit it.

I suppose it would be a bit old hat to start going on about Michael Owen being seen at the Grand Hotel with Tony Bloom.

And I agree that we have to assume the club knows what it is doing.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

They'll get someone in.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I reckon a striker will be signed out of the blue, with no warning, possibly ready for a bench place tomorrow.



Although we only have 3 games in the next 28 days, so no doubt will want to save 4 weeks wages.

 

[maltaseagull]

I think we should tell Ulloa to return WITH a loan striker!

I rest my case, typos not bad use of English

One of them now edited now, so go and nitpick somewhere else

Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. Would be delighted to be wrong.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

We'll have to go back to how we did it in the old days , rely on the reserves.

 

[Simster]

I'd be quite happy to muddle through if it means giving development players a crack. I'd rather that than pay for more useless journeyman rubbish like Conway and Agustien to turn up here and either look half hearted or only try to do things to make themselves look good.

My reasoning is that I really don't think we're good enough to go up or even finish in the top 6, so why not give new blood a chance? If we do start having to look down, we've got two or even three proper strikers returning and ready to steady the ship in the second half of the season.

Look closely at what I wrote, I'm not much better

 

[fosters headband]

I am going to put my faith in David Burke, that he will bring in one from the list of strikers he prepared and promised the fans we would sign at the opening of the loan window.
So a signing to be here by the time we play Yeovil is my vote.

 

[father_and_son]

I hope we give a chance to the dev players.

Oscar's recent comments suggest he has asked and was told no. Now the line is "We now have to look towards Ashley Barnes and we have to trust him to score goals."

No spare cash I guess, so let's see if we can't get some bright young thing showing the "old boys" how to do it!

Here, here!!! WEll said that man.

 

[portslade seagull]

Think we will be somewhat goal shy over this period IF no cover is signed and we might drop towards the bottom 6 until the team grasp Oscar's tactics and learn to shoot at the target with more accuracy

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'd be up for a season of youth-development if we fairly clearly state this isn't the year to be really going for it. If we happen to see a peach or two come through then good on us for trying. I rather doubt such a statement would be made until well into the new year when we seemed mostly safe and possibilities of a run for glory put to bed, though.

 

[B.W.]

"No, the Board need to pull their fingers out." That just about says it all. Jones latest rant is nonsense. "Jones wants quality not quantity." What a joke. The quantity of one would be nice. And we obviously want quality. Ridiculous BS for the ignorant and gullible. Stop talking, act now.

And you honestly think that means bums on seats!? Unbelievable. You and I will be there, but the hard-won butterflies will flit away.

WAYYY too early to say we're not good enough for Top 6. More than likely we'll have a much better squad in the 2nd half of this season than we did last year, so if Oscar can keep us within 6-9 points of playoffs come Dec/Jan, I think we've got a very good chance.
