Striker

I Know, i think if we signed a couple of players we could be in with a chance of a playoff spot. Warnock is doing brilliantly for the squad he has UTB
 
We are three players away from a genuine shot at promotion IMO. We could do with two forwards and a pacy wideman, we'd be well set then.
 
I don't think the money is there to bring anyone decent in - even on the free. Browne might have to play up front.
 
I think it's pretty damming and shows the financial restraints that we are struggling to bring in a forward for free. I imagine it's because they want 20-30-40k a week.

The thing about being 'free' is they command bigger wages and usually a signing on fee. You'd think a footballer out of work in October would just want to play? Yet they are in no rush to play due to probably being set for life so not under any pressure. Also contact lengh could be an issue. We are probably offering a season at best (maybe only until Jan).

It's definitely not a case of finding someone free and bringing them in. Many will not have played since June or even March. It's not gonna be a quick fix either way.

One things for sure we need one. It's almost negligent not getting one in on loan (why spend all day trying to bring in a 70k a week none scoring winger?). I'm not having it we couldn't have loaned a seasoned champo CF who's frozen out or young kid from a prem academy. We didn't appear to be even trying to get a forward in on transfer deadline day (clearly I can't say that for sure).

We would kill for Lee Gregory now😂
 
Callum McFadzean Sunderland just signed him on a free today.
So it must be a financial reason we are not signing anyone.
Unemployed strikers will eventually have to bring their demands down so hopefully we will sign one as soon as poss.
 
Its nothing short of scandalous if Warnock is still waiting for the go ahead from Gibson. If anything, the performances so far this season shown that we can compete and with a few more additions we will be up there. If we are dithering about we could be without a striker if Akpom gets injured in the next game.
 
Worry ye not, when has Gibson never come up trumps with a top striker. If all else fails, Burrell is scoring a few in the U/23’s. What happened to O’Neill ?
 
So we have managed to get rid of practically all the big earners and now it seems we probably have a salary limit above which we will not pay, certainly with fans banned.
We should avoid relegation if we keep playing as we are and we maybe we have to settle for that.
