Centre-forward 10:39 - Jan 2 with 1003 viewsSomethingBlue

Just to continue the squad-strengthening theme from elsewhere ... I thought our strikers did well yesterday, Jackson was everywhere and Norwood got stuck into their centre-backs even if he isn't offering enough on the ball at the moment. But can't help thinking we still lack someone we can stick up there to win things, let the physical stuff bounce off them and hold the ball up; would make a huge difference at times and perhaps give the midfield confidence to get around the ball more quickly too. Keane, much as I like him, doesn't really seem to be that man.

Solution: I really liked Mikael Mandron's performance against us for Gillingham a week ago, he's not scored many during his career but thought he won loads of stuff up there and shielded the ball really well. That kind of signing would do both in terms of profile and skill set, just as a useful extra option.

Unlikely of course given the number of players we have although Sears is, as all of us know, best deployed as a wide forward and not a specialist central attacker.

What's Pablo doing at the moment.

Annoying Keane.

The time we spent dicking about with Tom Elliott at Millwall suggested we wanted some big physical lump to do the job you describe, which means they don't necessarily have to be prolific.

Can't help but feel Daryl Murphy was the obvious solution staring us in the face but maybe it was never on for one reason or another.

The drugs ban didn't help Murphy....

I would look at Armand Gnanduillet from Blackpool.
6"4 and scored 14 goals in 22 starts this season, also his contract is up in the summer with him looking to leave (he was injured when we played them)

Would make a good plan B. You do tend to see a lot of late goals in the lower leagues that come from bringing on a big man and lumping it up.

Smith from Rotherham was very good.

Not sure signing for Bolton on transfer deadline day is quite the same.... they were in such dire straits they were signing available who can kick a ball straight.
