Again today we missed the strength of Uche

Their defenders had it far too easy, dominated our powder puff forwards. What a mistake loaning him out for the ineffective connelly to come in.
Completely agree, Maddo kept saying we were lightweight upfront....

WE'VE BEEN LIGHTWEIGHT UP FRONT ALL SEASON !!!!
You need a bit of muscle and someone to hold the ball up to get out of this league ....
 
I know emotions can run high after a defeat but if Uche is the answer then I don’t want to know the question. He’s like a shat Michael Ricketts. IMO of course.

Or the ineffective Balogun, but he'll be moved on this summer because he's just not mobile enough, or good enough if we're honest.

Of the 5 forwards we had on the pitch today you'd have to say none are at the standard we need.

I have a soft spot for big Uche and was very disappointed to see him let go. Wilder made it clear he doesnt think he will ever fit his style of play so I dont hold nay hope that they will consider playing him next season.
 
He doesn’t have to fit the style, he’s just got to offer more than the two brought in to replace him on loan.

Look at games where we struggled with the physical side, today, Blackburn away, plus quite a few others. Big Uche would have changed things up top, give defenders a harder ride, hold the ball up a bit.
 
I think what's important is that the right type of striker is brought in this summer.

I feel we need a David Nugent type of striker - somebody who is just about strong enough to hold up the ball and not get bullied by centre halves, but also mobile enough to be able to close down defenders and press. And of course most importantly, score goals.

Uche is strong but we won't be able to press effectively with him up front. The opposition would always have an outlet to be able to play it out from back, as Uche would be nowhere near the defender who would be his man to close down.
