How do we find an affordable striker in Jan?

Agree Stan not sure any of our players have improved under the current regime which must #### them right off. As for Fernandes the QPR FC ship has sailed now and now he has his mits on part of OOC he will just hang around with zero chance of moving up the leagues.

Surely to fluck, in the world of football, there's a loanee available that's better than Mackie

Again not baiting swear down, but did anyone on here think we did any better without Gump the Gimp and actually not playing with ten men for the first time this season on saturday.

[Dunraven]

Fair point. We've been sh.ite with/without him regardless? Obviously it's not Mackie's fault we are where we are but he is a terrible player and we're in desperate need of something - if not a new manager then a loanee (cheap) or an u23 or someone...Wheeler, Eze...

We'd easily be a top 10 side with the same squad and a reasonably competent manager, had he been replaced in the summer.

This is the crying shame of it all.

And with all the injuries to the back 4 we've had ?

Even with those. The Onuoha and Hall injuries haven't been such a major blow because Robinson and Baptiste have slotted in really well. We've had far bigger issues than the defence.

We do not creative enough and as we play with very little or no width that means a lot depends on the midfield three who do not score enough goals.

I honestly don't think there's any point in buying anyone until the managerial issue is resolved. Ollie doesn't know how to set up for the strikers he does have.

Baptiste and Robinson have done well but 2 clean sheets in 13 games indicates defensive problems that can only be improved with the likes of Hall and Onuha coming back into the side (IMO).

This. sack the manager, and then we talk about what striker the gaffer wants in his team.
