Hopefully there is something going on behind the scenes for an unreported striking target.
If not we have to hope Ken gets his mojo and rader back in full working order and that Pilks, Healey and Boyle really step up. And if we really want some positivity, that Tomlin somehow transforms into the player he has the potential to be!
Terry Boyle upfront :yikes:Quote:

Ha! Edit worked this time!
Bolton in for a replacement striker apparently, so could happen.
Going to cost us some ££ though!
Think we need to play a different way as well, we also have to consider being more direct via the middle perhaps using Yanic Wildschut. Pilk's , Healey,we could use Healey and Harris as different options and tactics , i think we have been found out and perhaps considered a bit one dimensional tactically.Quote:

There is a lot of stuff in play at the moment , and we need to bench that pushes the first 11
just spotted the comment below the articleQuote:

But if we can do without him and strengthen overall instead and still stay up it’d be worth selling. Also, considering the money we’ve received for players in the past I believe 6m would be a job very well done by the club. I could definitely be wrong but feel like Madine will never be worth more than he is right now. So if we get offered that "much", maybe just cash in and hope for the best?

How do any of us know how strong mentally any of our players are mate?Quote:

Given our situation, we have to get a striker in the door
I haven't seen much of him so not sure how he plays etc.. will be get us goals in the box? Score headers?
Brighton have signed 2 strikers, make a bid for Baldock or Hemed both know their way around the championship.
We paid reasonable money for Bogle and Tomlin yet neither play regularly, throw in Ward who made a limited impact prior to injury and we have had a poor return on the money invested.
Bogle is injured, Ward is injured and Tomlin has been a disappointment. Warnock has also signed Paterson, Damour, NML, Etheridge and Camp for free, or very little, so some perspective is needed. Also, we've not spent more than £1.5m on anyone, which is peanuts in today's market.Quote:

Connolly has been on the bench, as has Pilks at times this season, and there's no way they've been fit. Connolly didn't even warm up, he just stood there and chatted to the coaching staff.Quote:

Warnock hasn't said Bogle is injured (he looks OK in the club training videos) but he seems to have slipped down the pecking order. That may be more to do with Pilks impressing than Bogle not.Quote:
