Title: If we don’t get a new striker
Post by: phil old leake on August 02, 2019, 11:44:39 am: How do you all think we’ll set up and who will be the main goal threat

Post by: Barmby Rover on August 02, 2019, 11:46:31 am: I would put Sadlier up front with Copps and Whiteman behind him.

Post by: jamesrover17 on August 02, 2019, 11:48:39 am: Unfortunately, I think not getting a striker just isn't an option... I cant see where the goals will come from, I was hoping for Sadlier to push on this season but he has been poor IMO in pre season

Post by: Barmby Rover on August 02, 2019, 11:50:30 am: I think if we set up with those three/May being involved it would be a temporary measure for the one match, a out and out striker could then be found for subsequent matches.

Post by: Paul Simpson on August 02, 2019, 12:17:15 pm: No not fake news mate. Both Ennis and cb Cameron John joining us on loan. Could be very astute signings 🤞😀

Post by: Chris Black come back on August 02, 2019, 12:21:34 pm: Would imagine May will start. Other lads would literally have just met squad. Fine as impact but not to lead off, with so little understanding of how we are going to play.

Post by: Tazemma on August 02, 2019, 12:44:35 pm: I would imagine the two lads from wolves have been lined up for a couple of weeks hence Middleton from rangers being cancelled.

If there ready to play tomorrow is another story

in fairness we can't judge anyone on pre season as things are just a training exercise, just wait till it all starts, you have not got long to wait now

Depends on how or what you define as pedigree. More goals, higher level, international????

It’s only because Marquis hardly missed a match that some seem to think he is irreplaceable. Well he isn’t and we have won games without him. Did we not get 4 v Bristol R last season.
We got 2 goals & drew with Hull on Saturday a team in a higher div.
Yes i know it was a friendly.

There IS life after Marquis. Don’t panic, DM will get his man.
If not this week it will in all probability be next week.

Patience, Patience,
something in short supply with many it would seem.

Footballers don’t fall off trees, it takes time with negotiations and as i have said before DM is making sure we get the right fit for our team.
