given how injury prone George Hirst is. Ali Al Hamadi is OK coming on as a finisher during games but I wouldn't want to rely on him as a starter for any length of time if Hirst was injured.

Szmodics and Broadhead could fill in up front, but given Hirst's injury record I'd definitely want another proper forward to share the burden with George Hirst.

This is your cue to tell me not to worry and we are sniffing round striker x.

Because he doesn't have any of the attributes that a number 9 in our system needs.

Goal machine.

Works for me!

We tried that once. Against Newcastle. Didn't go well.

"Against Newcastle"...your middle sentence is the key one here...we're not going to be coming up against any teams with the quality of Newcastle in the league this season...

We are light up top, but we have been ever since KM came in. Last season having to rely on Delap while Hirst was out. Season before having to make do with Chappers in December and then urgently had to loan Kieffer Moore in Jan. It’s the one area where we’ve consistently not had 2 very good players covering the one position. I don’t know why. Harder to find strikers maybe? It’s a single role, so doesn’t want good players getting frustrated as backup just in case of injuries? God knows, but it seems to be a pattern.

He isn’t that type of striker that we are looking for. We need another guy like Hirst who can hold the ball up. Is big and strong and can bring others into play. That’s not Sammys game. He needs to feed off Hirst and whoever we bring in.

He's not a striker

of course he is a striker, just not in the mould of a big centre forward. More the 2nd striker who feeds off the number 9 and feeds off the space created by the big number 9 keeping the central defenders busy. He is more effective as second striker than as a 10. Which is why first half against Aberdeeen was so promising.
