That would be fine as long as Ulloa starts all the games, as i think he would do a good job, but i am not sure Barker is ready to play up top on his own for 90 mins?

I get that, but an attacking force of David, Vicente, Buckley, Lua Lua, Orlandi (with Barker/Toby in wait) isn't exactly dire.
No need to panic.

Not seen such Bravery!
I apologise as well for getting so wound up.
The frustration of this end of season is getting to me more than ever before, although I truely am looking forward to Sunday, and the AMEX sponsorship news is a massive positive.
No. I am talking about Palace Sunday. After the Palace game we have 2 weeks until we play again. We'll have got someone in on loan by then, with time not to be thrown in at the deep end.
Can people please stop quoting Pork Pie, he's on my ignore list for a reason. He's clueless.
Ideally we'll find a loan striker that's happy as a backup. If we can't then we can't. We have goals in our midfield and we'll need a few players to really step up to the plate.
A handful of games left with three crucial match-ups. If we win the big ones they really are 'six pointers'.

Then yes that would do just fine, I too would rather give some of the DS squad a chance. Also like you said we do have other options in David, Vicente, Buckley, Lua Lua, Orlandi to get us goals. I am staying calm.

i missed this bit off the report from the argus
Poyet has give no guarantees that another forward will be signed before the loan window closes towards the end of the month.
"It depends what you want," he said. "If we are going to attempt to reach the play-offs we need a player that costs money we don't have and the quality of player that we want to bring being willing to come, so it's not just get a player from the Conference because we need a striker and pray that he is going to be fantastic.
"I prefer to trust George Barker and Toby (Agdestein) and Solly March and the players that we have got here than to bring someone who for me is not good enough."

All sensible from Gus.
It's a shame he feels the need to explain it so simplistically for some...

Fair point. It's still there somewhere, though. I'm sure of that!

The Large One
Who's Next?
All the while we see general improvement (and at present I see a team often taking two steps forward, one step back), we're on the right road. We're still in line for our best finish in 22 seasons and our highest average attendance EVER in our 112-year history.
There seems to be a certain impatience with some - not necessarily yourself - that it's this team which will get us up because of X, Y and Z reasons. Personally, I'm not expecting promotion this season, and I don't think we'll get it, though I do feel missing the play-offs will be a relative failure. If it doesn't happen this season - and the fight is definitely not over - there will not be one person at the club striving like a mad-man doubling and tripling their efforts for glory and success.
I also believe that people wouldn't be half as pessimistic this weekend if it wasn't - of all people - bloody Palace we were playing. For me, the build-up is more about a one-off, rather than the season as a whole.

Quite right from Gus. Nail. On. The. Head.

right, what evidence do you base that on?

This is probably my only gripe with the season so far.
We get it to the 18 yard line, a big target straight in front, and then feed it out to the wings and corner flags to play about with and cross it in for a 50/50 ball!
Take the shot!

Good post. Has given me something to think about.
Yes, if it were anyone other than Palace, things may be a little different. It doesn't help we've got Forest away as the following fixture, but the International break is well timed, so we can pick ourselves up if we need to.

When does the loan window close as I thought it was next Thursday but I could well be wrong and it could be the week after. Either way I think it is before our game following on from Palace.
