Poor Strikeforce

[moody1889]

We need a proven striker at this level our strikeforce is looking very weak.

Think if we went after a Sargent type signing that would change things because i think we this is our weak point currently.

The only way we get Sargent is if a bidding war ensues for osula and he goes for 100m, with us getting 20% of that.

I do agree with the post.
15 goals a season striker in the Championship is hard to come by, but i stand by the Op that we are weak up top and would think with Cannon looking likely to leave, we have a replacement lined up fingers crossed.

Agreed, perhaps we should have gone for Isak as well

At least we could afford his left eyelashes...barely

Ings could be good but as with Campbell I think the worry with both is injuries

I like One but he’s not quite ready imo

On the above basis, yes I’m concerned about the striker dept, even though Nixon says Cannon to Preston not happening

 

[loyalblade95]

Is it a weak strike force though?

We know what Campbell is capable of at this level, he just looks short of confidence at the moment.

Ings will also get goals in this league.

Cannon, got to improve and start getting some confidence in his game, then maybe we can see the player he was at Stoke.

Plus, Ogbene can play as a ST even though he is predominantly a RW.

That is exactly it if we don't the best we can hope for is that Cannon comes good.

It is the injury record more than anything if Campbell and Ings get injured are are left with One and Cannon.

It's fragile and nowhere near the level required for a top end finish

Surprise surprise, we ultimately signed no better option than McBurnie

Even Riis would have been an improvement and given us the required physicality

We've done the bare minimum

Much hinges on Ings staying fit, same with Campbell. Cannon is less than a non entity and Oné is not at the level to start yet

 

[Harry's Game]

Campbell really needs to overcome his current funk other wise we are in trouble.

 

[Stretch]

We've got two proven goalscorers in Campbell and Ings, with an understudy in One who has a very high ceiling. I am assuming Cannon has moved on?

Yes we need more but it's not a disaster. The main concern is keeping them all fit enough to start and complete 80 mins regularly.

Unfortunately “The Void” still appears to be with us

Well at the very least, he's another body to bring on.

A dead body
