The Need For A Striker..

[HandsomeRanger]

I called this Ric-roc fella a bellend the other day because he was arguing with a 17 year old. Oh course it was i that recieved the warning from the powers that be.
Here he goes again, being rude, cocky and full of it. Well done big man.

Back to the footballing sides of things. Yes it's alittle worrying we have not scored in 3 games and Cardiff are catching but there is still a decent gap between us and 3rd place and like Kit mentioned our defense has been fantastic. Why Ric-Roc thinks we desperatly need a new striker is beyond me, 3 games is not the end of the world. Look how many we scored before our little drought. The goals will come and when Hulse recovers and gets into the team it will give us another option.
Looks like we are going through a minor dip in form that all teams go in but on the positive note we are noit losing and not conceding. How the positives can't be seen from that is beggers belief.
Ric-roc, drop the arrogance. Giving it large on an internet forum is quite possibly the saddest sh*t anyone can do. I know for a fact you wouldn't be anywhere near as rude or cocky standing infront of other members including myself so why flex your noodle arms online?

32 years old? hahahaha.

I predicted a month ago that the goals which were flowing would dry up and that back then (a month ago) that we needed a quality striker,i will go as far to say unless we sign a quality striker in january we wont get promoted.

We`re unbeaten for sure, but i feel we should go back to 2 up front. Its Not producing wins at the moment. To be fair, Norwich and swansea are very average sides and we should`ve beaten them both easily

we were going to lose our record last night, now we're not going to get promoted without another striker.....right cheery fella aren't you!

Hill giving away penalty's is a bit worrying, also lucky not to give one at sheff united, and i'm sure there has been other lucky escapes.

I was thinking the same thing.That's 2 in 2 games now,perhaps the old boy's slowing up a bit and needs a rest. Also,we had a few penalties that turned games early season and these have dried up perhaps because Taarabt isn't getting into the box as regularly as he did.

Jason Roberts untried? A wind up surely. He would be a fantastic loan signing.

It is not being remotely negative about the defence, the season so far or even our form to say that it is clear we need a bit of reinforcement up front. To not score in three of the last four games is far from disasterous but with three points for a win we will slip quickly if we dont re-discover our shooting boots. Helguson and Mackie are probably exhausted - remember how Mackie was charging through defences at the start of the season? He looks like a different player at the moment. Hogan you don't even remember is playing. Helguson is still doing his best but good as he is he can't do it all. If certain fans can't see that or think its somehow disloyal to point it out, I politely disagree. I'm not making any bold claims about how this means we won't get promoted or whatever but do think this needs to be addressed. Agyman and Clarke are not good enough replacements - we all know it, so why the argument?

Mackie scores the chance if he had it a month ago, simples. He is lacking a little of confidence in front of goal, he needed two touches when it only needed one.

End of the day its becoming a little bit predictable and we don't have a PlanB and if we do its being used with 10 minutes to go, would like to see subs a bit earlier, but end of the day Warnock has done great so far and anyone would have taken this start before we kicked a ball at start of the season

Prehaps give hill a rest, (he has played well depite the penaltys) and switch walker to left back and bring in Bradley.

Agree with all of that except the subs. OK maybe Smith should come on earlier but is there any point bringing Agyman or Clarke on earlier? The reason Warno isn't, presumably, is that he knows they aren't very good.

Do you think there's any chance of a loan striker? Any news on the Hulse injury?

[Ric-Roc]

Nice to see some of the more sensible posters are getting the point.

Handsome my little stalker as I say some people just don't like to hear it. I don't need to resort to childish name calling like yourself. You may not like my tone but do you know what? Bothered, extremely bothered... Anyone who says our lads upfront couldn't do with a little help / rest clearly don't know much about football.

Warnock has NOTHING else to call on when we are struggling for a goal. Its quite clear.

[qblockpete]

Have to say everytime Clarke has come on he has done well. This thing in peoples minds that he came from a relagted Sheffield Wed team shouldn't be there, as mackie from Plymouth has proved.

We don't play to Ageymang strengths and thats what I mean about PLAN B, anyone knows for a big man he cannot head the ball, but we play the same ball up to him, as if it was Helguson which worries me if he gets injured, as Hulse or Ageymang don't win headers

[stainrodisalegend]

I take it that's a "no" to another striker coming in, then?

Do hope you mean Clarke?

Reckon Hulse will play some part on friday

How do you mean 'another striker',i dont want just another striker,we need a quality striker,cardiff have 3 quality strikers we have none.As for losing our unbeaten records we did come VERY close to it last night,ball off the line,missed penalty,so was pretty close with my prediction,BUT i have always said without a quality striker we would not finish in the top 2 and i stand by that.This present squad is good enough to make the play offs,get a good striker in now(with a view to permanent)in january and we WILL get promoted,hope thats cheery enough for you fella

Rebel save your breath mate half of these people haven't a clue & can't see a blatant problem although its 2 inches from their faces. Anyone with a brain cell can see NW needs a decent back up striker to call on & in Clarke & Aggy I don't believe we have one.
