Who's your right wing back then?
Good point. Don't think Baldock is match fit, certainly not to start, which leaves Brayford or Basham.

Who's your right wing back then?
I think changes are inevitable and were alluded to by CW after Cardiff....he specifically said we looked better when Ched and Brooks came on but then also mentioned Duffy as well.
I think Ched and Brooks will start myself.
The team needs freshening up, of that there is no doubt. It's the wing backs worrying me. If they don't perform then it also leaves the back three exposed and they in turn are made to look poor. Steven's was OKish v Brentford, thats all. Freeman has been, well, shite. I expect these two to be on the bench v Barnsley and Clarke as well as he looks to be a bit of a plodder in this league.

We desperately NEED a proven Championship striker that can score 15/20 goals in a season.
But where does he come from IF, he actually exists and is available to purchase?
Tom Lawrence - Leicester to Derby - initial £5m
Jordan Rhodes - Boro to pigs - £10-12m
Brit Assombalonga - Forest to Boro - £15m

You make a valid point, but it's an impossibility for us in many ways.

Agree proven Champ striker will be £5-£10m. We need to find the next one who is on his way up.

There is better value out there. Wilder said so.
We won't be going after them because they don't have an English mentality. Wilder said so.

Based on performances in the first three games if Ched starts the Barnsley game then Sharp should be dropped. Clarke was excellent v Brentford, was the better of the two at Middlesboro and by all accounts both had poor games at Cardiff. Apart from the goal v Brentford what has Sharp contributed this season, I'd say not much.
So apart from the 3 and only points we have, he hasn't contributed?Based on performances in the first three games if Ched starts the Barnsley game then Sharp should be dropped.

Of course they don't come cheap however it is possible to sign strikers at this level for less. The pigs managed to snap up Sam Winnall for £500k. Warnock has just taken a gamble on Bogle for £1m whilst Sunderland have snapped up James Vaughan for £500k as well.
I don't think it's a case of the funds not being available, but I don't think Wilder has prioritised a new centre forward/striker enough.
True but as I've said many teams Sharp has similarities to Keith Edwards.
He might play crap, hardly touch the ball, but he's still more likely than anyone to pop up with a goal.
The factor with Sharp is he's very reliant on good service played directly to his feet.
If our midfielders can't set him up then he can't contribute as much as Clarke and Evans who are more physical and more mobile.
Hes unlikely to drop the captain.
So apart from the 3 and only points we have, he hasn't contributed?
