| Get a striker on 16:29 - Jan 31 with 1783 views | Nthsuffolkblue | Hirst is on awful form. That is different from him being awful. But we can't afford to persist without a quality striker on form. Azon and Akpom haven't been good enough to cover for him, unfortunately. We do need better. |  |

Can't see any of reason to have subbed him He'd have slotted that in. No Azon no fun. |  | |  |

Its not form. Hes been this bad since the start of season. He was missing things even amongst the few goals he got. Whats worse is what he brings you as a forward and its nothing. No hold up. No headers. No good touches. Weve had 10 men this half. 9 with egeli on the right. |  |

It is form really. We no he is capable. But he does have to find more consistent good form. We have to get a striker in now though. |  |

| Get a striker on 16:53 - Jan 31 with 1355 views | TIB | Azon growing but Hirst is done and Akpom hasn’t been the player we thought he’d be. Signings not transpiring how you want happens. It’s how we respond which is key, and that response should be finding a new striker this window. We know who’s available and who we have wanted for a season or more. Go get them. |  |

I was saying before this game we badly need a striker who strikes. I've never understood the love for Azon, he buzzes about and works hard but his goal tally is poor and actually it was no great shakes before he came to us. Akpom has proved useless and Hirst is just way off. We got Kieffer Moore in the January window last time and he really made a difference for the rest of the season. Other clubs are getting loans or acquisitions in, why haven't we already? The next couple of days are crucial. |  | |  |
| Get a striker on 17:08 - Jan 31 with 1194 views | HighgateBlue | Norwich have two better number 9s than us. With the amount of money we have, and have spent, that is just negligent. We have no striker worthy of starting for a top 6 club, and when that's the case you're always gonna struggle to go up. |  | |  |

Either KM and MA are targeting the unattainable or our scouting is shit. God knows what the recruitment team is doing besides signing more wingers |  | |  |

Unlike Frimmers to single out a player or two for talking down, though. I don't expect Hirst and Walle Egeli's parents are on here, though. |  |

| Get a striker on 17:12 - Jan 31 with 1086 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | We try and over complicate things but saying how integral he is to the way we play, I’m don’t buy this narrative as much as everyone else, we have enough quality in the team to create two decent chances a game for a striker and that I fear might be the difference this year. That chance at 0-0 FFS! Can’t have it. |  |

Every aspect?? Longing for the days of Lambo, porno Paul, Duncan and Douglas with a bit of Administration thrown in? Oh how you must look back all moist on those happy, comforting days if this ‘total failure in every aspect’. Dear god, the nappycrappers will be in full cry tonight. Have a great evening |  | |  |

I mentioned Clarke too today at times. Im sure its acceptable to discuss 3 players. Or is that against your rules? And egeli. As ive said numerous times. I think hes gonna be a heck of a a player but hes not a right sided player and we are not getting anything from him there. Thats ok to say that's not personal thats not seeing what KM does from him there. Esp after KM took the time to talk up mcateer to then not use him at all.. Whats the matter. Upset you were wrong with Sammy being out of the 18 within 24 hours of saying hed be picked ahead of akpom? [Post edited 31 Jan 17:17]

| Get a striker on 17:18 - Jan 31 with 939 views | RetroBlue | OP: just cirrect yiu here. ALL our strikers are as you say "abysmal ". NONE of them can hit a barn door from 2 feet. Not good enough! So is Ashton going to fail again, to get a decent striker in, since Delap was known to be leaving early last season. THATS " abysmal"! |  |

I think that if you read what I put, Szmodics would be left out if he was being sold. I said that if he wasn't he would be in the squad ahead of McAteer. Why have McAteer on the bench with no one covering on the left? The issue I have is your persistent doubling down on claims that Hirst and Egeli are not good enough. Saying they had poor games is fair enough. To say Hirst is on poor form is accurate. But you choose to single out players and then persistently post exaggerated negative things about them. But you do you. |  |

Again your exaggerating my comments about egeli. Its not him as an individual. Its his position. I can't make that any clearer to you but you clearly wish to ignore that. And Hirst. Im not alone in my thoughts. So I look forward to seeing you bemoan everyone who posts in that manner about him. Poor form would be a small period. Not 6 months of a season. But you do you. Sammy not been sold so no reason for his exclusion if we were desperate for him to be included. But we didnt as we have no need for him. |  |

Great initial control to bring the ball down but then flicked at it with the outside of his right foot which gave the defender a chance, instead of slapping it hard with his left |  | |  |

If you class this as abysmal then you can't have been around during the actual abysmal years would be my guess. |  | |  |

He’s doesn’t have a left foot that’s half the problem. |  |
