Looking good for Cardiff game

Thats truly good news - but shows the mess we made of circa £55m on strikers in last three years.

Looking good for Cardiff game

Hecky said something like he’ll need a good week to be back for Cardiff

 

[Bladesince59]

I don't think it matters. We will be lucky to get more than 1 point from the last 3 games.

They £55m strikers are injured

Billy will be back to fire us into the playoffs

I think we'll get 4 points from the last 3 and it won't be enough.

Can see Millwall winning their next 2.

I honestly don't think it matters though.
The winner will come from Huddersfield, or Forest. Two decent sides playing good attacking football. Confident and in form and can take opportunities when they come.

Fixed it for you

 

[Swannyblade]

Good. We're not just lacking his goals, we're missing his attitude and influence on the rest of the team - this group need a leader on the pitch

True.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can’t we just spend whatever future transfer budget we have on cloning Sharp? Surely that’s an easier solution.

 

[Sheffsteel]

They £55m strikers are injured

Agree, also our in form attacking full back Bogle has been injured for months.

Also our attack minded centre backs O’Connell and Basham have been out most or all season.

Never known so many long term injuries.
I said at the beginning of the season our subs bench has never been so strong. We have 20 players who would get into most teams. Now we’re down to the bare bones.

Fuck it, let’s just chuck our cards in, eh?…

 

[DIRTY HARRY]

Fuck it, let’s just chuck our cards in, eh?…

Some on here did that before the first game.

 

[Gavlar]

He has a hamstring injury so really needs to be careful. It would be better to leave him out if we're not certain about him.

That said, we now have 1 game a week for 3 weeks so more time to recover for the squad which can only be good.

 

[SB_90]

Hope so, i dont what we done to deserve this bad luck but ive only known 2 sides have every side have every senior striker injured. that was tottenham 2014 & man utd 2016, but then they had Harry Kane & Marcus Rashford to play

 

[Blade56]

Can we make a team up from injury list?

 

[bonobo]

I don't think any of us know what the results of the next few games will be. Whether we play well or bobbins, there is only ever a goal in it, which means any game can go any way. Same for the play offs. We certainly wont be favorites should we make it, Huddersfield and Forest look stronger all round for now. But we are as decent as any of them at the back, have a keeper in the form of his life and with Sharp and MGW players good enough to knick us a goal against anyone. Results in this division at this time of this season can be truly random.

True this problem has been with us for three years having to rely on our ONLY goal scorer in the squad. Yes on paper we do have other strikers but on the pitch we only have one and if he is injured we have f----d it. but at 36 we will have to sort it sooner than later now.

You are right mate there has to be some reason to why we are getting so many injuries which are long term. Yes all teams have injuries but ours seem to be all long term which seems strange.

We'll see

Forest looked poor against us twice and have lost their key striker for the remaining matches.

I don't think this is the only reason for our 3 year long striker crisis.

How we play is perfect for Billy Sharp. In hindsight, had we used him more in the Premier league we may have done even better than we did. Wilder still is the biggest influence on this team and how it plays and none of the other strikers, despite them having success elsewhere really got to grips with being the 6 yard box, high pressing poachers that our system needs. Rhian was starting to get it and then he broke himself. I'm clinging to the hope Rhian comes good next season because we are going to need more than just Sharp.

 

[Houston_Blade]

The crazy thing about Billy is that if we got promoted this season (very unlikely IMO) and didn't buy anyone else. He'd be our starting striker next season in the PL and would more than likely finish top scorer if he played a decent amount of games. It's worrying that this is still the case despite vast amounts of money spent on others.

Yes I agree with that mate .I am hoping Rhian comes back and continues to improve to ,he did seem he was finally getting to grips with things just before he got injured ,just our luck . But no matter what league we end up in we can not keep relying on Billy .
