We can afford to get decent t strikers in next season, or will the purse strings be tightened yet again.

Liverpool have pulled out of planned friendly I hear, leaving us with no gig or big pre season income, unless we can get another big home friendy....we will probably be looking at loan signings from Welsh Prem for a strikeforce next season.....can't be worse than this seasons anyhow !!

They have promised us the following summer.

It is a distinct possibility - under WST ownership we did have a strike force of Michael Bakare, Callum Powell and Tyler Harvey.

How bad was 32 for Wrectum, looked like he'd never trained with a ball

It’s fairly simple. Our best and highest paid players (I presume) are defenders.

Yeah Drew Broughton Stuart Nicholson, Lama Sakho were loaaaads better! We’ve had enough sh!t strikers under both models to fit your argument.

Louis Moult?

If we had re-signed Danny Wright I think most fans would have been disappointed. But maybe that sort of signing is what we need. Someone who isn't going to get more than 15 ,but can probably be relied upon to contribute and score maybe 10 reliably.

The simple answer is poor management. Our managers have recognised that route one is a necessary evil at times, but have not recruited for the option.

Its not fair to criticise recruitment in January as its a major gamble so Ricketts gets the bulk of the blame. Back to my first paragraph, what could we have done with an average strike-force? Put that way you can see how badly we have been let down.

Its counter-intuitive but the answer might be to aim a little lower. We have gone for players we hope have still got it (Beavon) and youngsters who might have it (Spyrou) , how about going for strikers who are doing it reasonably well. It seemed to work for Solihull?

We can't afford quality, clearly.
