New striker

[onceknownasrab]

I know we have just had one of those lamentable scenarios from the club, we hope to sign, he wont sign, a championship striker blah blah, but is that the issue at hand. Looking at the game last night we had plenty of opportunity but could not convert. Hardly a new situation. Would it not be true that we could have done with a fit striker, almost any striker. Does he have to be from a higher league? Would not an able bodied guy from lg1 or 2 be an improvement? Surely it only needs to be for as long as the injuries are so severe. I wonder, if only things were so predictable, the cost of losing three points last night. A win and a few more bums on seats for a few more games whilst the lingering hope of a late surge to play-offs is still there? Might have paid for a loan striker. I cant see too many fairweather supporters pinning too much faith in us now.

Of course we could have done with another fit striker.

But he still wouldn't have helped "our bald defender" put his header inside the post rather than hitting it, or have seen "one of midfielders/strikers" bury their unmarked volley in the back of the net rather than send it moon-bound over the North Bank or even have helped Betsy put his shot under the crossbar from three feet away.

On another night we could have scored all three.

It was Clarke who hit the post G.

And it was Christophe who missed the volley, wasn't it?

Edited accordingly. How did I miss those fish again!?

Maybe a fully fit striker would have buried the chances, but the majority of the chances you mentioned fell to players that weren't playing upfront.

To be honest though, it was only one game without a fully fit strike force, come Saturday Barnard will be back from suspension, we still have Theo and Laurent got through about an hour last night so we will have 3 forwards to choose from.

Would we really want to loan a player not good enough for a league two side to cover one game ?

I doubt theres anyone worthwhile in League One either...
