I`m sure another striker will be recruited, but as JR explained tonight, we`ll be playing one up top, either Brown or Paynter with three behind and two holding midfielders

And it still worries me who is going to bang in 15-20 goals.We should be actively looking to bring in a 3rd loan striker rather than keep it as a reserve fund for when Brown/Paynter inevitably gets injured.
At the end of the day a prolific goalscorer at this level will cost a bomb, which we havn't got. We'll have the second smallest budget in the league this season so anyone who thinks we have a god given right to sign one of the best strikers at this level i.e sharp, needs to pull their head out their arse.Stick to the budget and give it everything weve got, if we get relegated, so be it, we'll be back to our level!

He's the only player of that calibre we can even come close to affording.

We bought Sharp before. Why not again? Maybe if we hasn't sold him for peanuts in the first place?

The amount of contradictory statements that come out of the club is hard to believe.

I thought it was made pretty clear tonight (though I can't say whether it's good news or not) that we don't expect to have a 20 goal a season striker as the goals are going to come from Duffy, Cotterill, Forrester, Paynter and Brown with Syers and Copps chipping with a few too.We're looking at options but we're not likely to be signing one!

Anything could happen. Also a 20 goal striker or 40 goals from 4/5 players up top chipping in..not much difference and within our current budgetI think the top 4 on saturday will be Brown.Duffy. Cotts. Copps.
Those 3 behind Browny will be mobile and interchanging positions. Copps can easily play centrally.
