Reality Is

[qblockpete]

Port Vale Justin Richards is better than any striker we have in our squad. Until we get at least two strikers, we will not get promoted.

Our back up on the bench is not good enough either.

I thought Taarabt was a striker, Pete? Lol.

[qblockpete]

minus Taarabt we are very average at the moment

[rockandroll]

Taarabt is not striker and never been, he plays number 10 and sometimes 9,5 all his games.

[BennyBoyRs]

I know he's not, but Pete tried to convince us he was, all last season.

[m_cooper]

i would be just as worried about our defence or lack of it

[Magic]

We're in trouble when Hall plays v a half decent striker like tonight. Richards was brilliant

[Stanley]

NW said in the press conference that we missed Helguson a lot tonight, and Gorkks too, both of whom were away on "completely pointless" (his words) international duty.

You know its bad when you're yearning for the iceman

[OnFM Bren]

Richards looked a class act tonight, and yeah pete id say as good as anyone rangers have got at the moment....tonight a class above the rest!!!!

[stainrodisalegend]

Indeed Pete, but we've all known this for two years - and it STILL isn't being sorted.

[stainrodisalegend]

Also, although we beat Barnsley 4-0 we actually played pretty average, certainly until we went 2-0 up. Without tabs and buz we are a nothing sort of side. Fair enough we can't expect 11 world beaters but a side serious about promotion needs five or six really top drawer players and so far we have only two (Orr also has potential to be one imho).

[OnFM Bren]

IMO in desperate need of a strong leading defender more than anything...at times it can really look like sunday league defending, just lump it as far as you can kick it.
