New striker

[Huffy]

I reckon Deano is going to want to see you doing your turn down past the Turf , so it wont be just any old pro

Good man Dixie, tbf it’s good that someone gets excited enough to ask the question nowadays! Would be incredible to actually go up this year given that we just seem to be somehow grinding out wins without looking particularly threatening for 95% of the games! Hope DK actually finds that winning combo to add some goals for into the mix for the second half of the season...that said I’d take a 1-0 win over a 5-4 loss everyday as long as we get promoted back where we belong (and I do believe we do belong in the FL - just look at our support compared to others in the EFL!!).

More false dawns on the horizon

Keates is two for two transfer windows. This team is significantly better than the team he took over last year. If he can get the players he wants in January and finds the missing pieces of the puzzle then there's no reason why we can't challenge for automatic promotion.

People are starting to believe it could happen (automatic promotion).
Away wins at Tranmere, Dagenham and now Chester - whatever is said about goalscoring we simply are rarely conceding - as long as that continues we wont be far away - but with a tweak up front things could turn out so much better.

Alleluia - but be sure those 'People are starting to believe it ' were conspicuous by their absence after the win at chester. We keep getting told by our wiser and long standing posters that its all going to go belly up and the casual supporters are not impressed. In my opinion of course there are issues but the table never lies and we have a great foundation.

What will you do if it isn't a target man?
I think it will be a like for like for Reid.
Have we got room for 2 New strikers?
A creative midfielder is a must.

This is baffling as there is plenty a striker can do.
Push defenders around, win headers, hold the ball up, chase down defenders, create something, be a focal point of the attack.

Louis Moult and Danny Wright were superb at leading the line and causing the opposition problems without hanging around waiting for service.
