I said exactly the same thing.One goal in 3 games and clearly we are woeful in the final third …. Surely we will focus on a striker in for Saturday??
Barrow were terrible and we should be beating them 4-0I said exactly the same thing.
To be fair to Barrow they were very organised in defence but then again so are all Championship clubs. We need to find a goal scorer from somewhere or it will be a very long season!!
If Sadler wants to spend his one -point million pounds on a player....then it has to be a 20 goal a season striker.One goal in 3 games and clearly we are woeful in the final third …. Surely we will focus on a striker in for Saturday??
Sadly I don't think 1 point anything million gets you anywhere near that anymore. Toney went to Brentford for £5m after one 20+ goal season for Peterborough in League One.If Sadler wants to spend his one -point million pounds on a player....then it has to be a 20 goal a season striker.
exactly this. back the manager and bring a proven striker in.One goal in 3 games and clearly we are woeful in the final third …. Surely we will focus on a striker in for Saturday??
Agreed, hypotenuse. They need to widen their search abroad - that's assuming they have an effective foreign scouting network.Sadly I don't think 1 point anything million gets you anywhere near that anymore. Toney went to Brentford for £5m after one 20+ goal season for Peterborough in League One.
We lost to Hartlepool under Critchley, 5hit happens.Barrow were terrible and we should be beating them 4-0
I know I was there. If you’re content with getting beat by bottom division teams when we were pretty much full strength last night bar maybe 1 or 2 then you do you but I’m not.We lost to Hartlepool under Critchley, 5hit happens.
We definitely need Beesley fit, but also need a hungry striker with him.Goals are hopefully like buses none then they all come at once
Our strikers fed on scraps last year and resulted in low confidence
Scoring 1 week then dropped the following week will not have helped
Whoever plays has to keep demanding the ball and keep putting shots on goal
Once one goes in it gets easier
When fit I think this could be Beesley's year

Yeah I’m starting to wish he didn’t fail that medical. If that’s what really happened.Colby Bishop keeps scoring how did he pass a medical at Pompey and not us,let's face it our injury record is abysmal, one that got away
Go in, get started, it’s funIt’s absolute bobbins. Must have been something or nothing for him to get through the Pompey medical.
In the meantime we’re stuck with a load of strikers who couldn’t hit a cows arśe with a banjo.
And don’t get me started on missing out on Simms…
If I was to take a wild stab in the dark I'd say Portsmouth were fully committed to the player in terms of the money and knowing the quality they were getting whereas we were just trying to chase someone elses deal having clocked the amount they'd agreed with Accrington. Someone saw their arse at the 11th hour.It’s absolute bobbins. Must have been something or nothing for him to get through the Pompey medical.
In the meantime we’re stuck with a load of strikers who couldn’t hit a cows arśe with a banjo.
And don’t get me started on missing out on Simms…
We made an offer that was accepted for Simms. The player chose Sunderland where he will play in front of 40k fans every other week. Can you blame him for that choice? We did everything right on that one, no-one is to blameIt’s absolute bobbins. Must have been something or nothing for him to get through the Pompey medical.

Spot on this mate. It’s like the bid for this Rotherham player, Newcastle have a 50% sell on clause. Did we not work out they won’t want to take £500,000 for himIf we've got people who are anywhere near worth their own salt working on this stuff then they'll have surely had half a clue how that one would go.
It's a bit awkward in a protective boot at the moment though even though he might still be more mobile.We need to give Beesley a chance. Showed promise in his brief appearances. More mobile than Madine and could work well in a three
Christ knows. What would they do if someone said 'yeah go on then!'? Maybe the Bishop thing would repeat again? No idea.Spot on this mate. It’s like the bid for this Rotherham player, Newcastle have a 50% sell on clause. Did we not work out they won’t want to take £500,000 for him
It was either mentioned in a SS or BM interview and Scrafters mentioned itDo you have any kind of reliable source for this "failed medical" claim, or are you just repeating baseless rumours.
Yep this was definitely at play which is why days later we then went after Brannagan.Was thinking more about the Simms one where they'll have known (or should have) that it was a 50:50 chance at best. An at least we tried fan-appeaser move including giving local media the heads up on it.
I guarantee that at least 6 of last nights starting XI won't be starting Saturday, so full strength is stretching it.I know I was there. If you’re content with getting beat by bottom division teams when we were pretty much full strength last night bar maybe 1 or 2 then you do you but I’m not.
Not as easy as it was. We would now need to buy a player with an international pedigree. Think thats how it works.Agreed, hypotenuse. They need to widen their search abroad - that's assuming they have an effective foreign scouting network.
Other than we could and should have signed him in January.We made an offer that was accepted for Simms. The player chose Sunderland where he will play in front of 40k fans every other week. Can you blame him for that choice? We did everything right on that one, no-one is to blame
My guess is now we are post EU the player has to have represented their country a certain amount of times in order to get a work permit in the UK.Yes, I didn’t appreciate that. Do the same regulations apply world wide or has just the EU changed since the B word.
Africa here we come…My guess is now we are post EU the player has to have represented their country a certain amount of times in order to get a work permit in the UK.
If they had dual nationality that qualified them for a UK passport they would be ok.
Basically we won't be able to afford a player from Italy, Spain, France, Germany. Brazil or Argentina but we might be able to afford somebody from a lesser football nation.
Think that continent is well covered, India, Papua New Guinea and Greenland are possibilities!!!Africa here we come…
Post Brexit. No freedom of movement for us anymore.Yes, I didn’t appreciate that. Do the same regulations apply world wide or has just the EU changed since the B word.
Not currently being able to play so he isn't in a position to do anything to prove the theory otherwise that he could be the answerI’m not sure why so many people think Beesleys going to be the saviour….. based on what?
think that was the reason we dropped bishop as we thought we where getting simmsWe made an offer that was accepted for Simms. The player chose Sunderland where he will play in front of 40k fans every other week. Can you blame him for that choice? We did everything right on that one, no-one is to blame
