TeaCider24 12,646 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ffs. Fletcher's injury won't be an early recovery, sadly. That probably means Assombalonga isn't being sold too. Link to post Share on other sites

Based on that performance we could do with someone like him. Also, Warnock has said it’s unlikely we’ll be bringing a new striker in 😤 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,497 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Warnock also said he does not anticipate a lot of activity. If we can just add that one wide player it could make a difference. i dont expect us to finish top 6 but that is no criticism. Hopefully we will continue to improve and give it a go next season.

edinboro 815 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Now Howson is back I actually think it's the finishing that will do for us. Fletcher is better than the other 2 but won't score 15 goals between Feb and the end of the season. We will miss out due to lack of a clinical finisher. That has to be the priority in the summer. And probably replace Johnson with a better crosser. Or hope Coulson gets his mojo back. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,646 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Makes it all the more baffling that we're not going to bring in a forward. But I guess it's more an issue of finances, which I can understand. Link to post Share on other sites

We play with 2 of those at once, and Fletch is out injured for at least another 3 games, with no guarantee that he'll stay fit when he is back. Watmore has always played as a second striker for us, not 1 up top, and he himself is injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites

Might have a brief flirtation with the play offs but no real desire to push the boat out to go up. Bett, Britt, Fletcher and Roberts off the wage bill in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites

Watmore has played as a striker during a fair part of his time on the pitch here. He's always been alongside another. He would have started today if fit. Link to post Share on other sites
