Pity he got injured last night
Potentially good news for us though - is he out for long?

Pretty much all the other top 5 have a better forward or forwards than we do, hence no one thinks we will be in the shake up come the end of season
Would disagree, excepting Gray at Burnley and Hernandez at Hull, most of the strikers from the top 6 have scored similar amounts, assuming that you are judging how good a striker is by their goal tally!
It's that perception again that the grass is always greener elsewhere.
It's all about injuries.
If we can get away without losing any of our main faces before the season ends then we are in the mix. We lose one or two of Kayal, Stephens, Hemed, Knockaert or Rosenior then we are going to struggle. We have depth in the squad but a few of our players don't have 'like for like' deputies who can step in.
I'd feel a lot better if Hunemeier was an option and I'd still like an other option up front.
We seem to be the outside bet with most bookies as we are not as strong contenders as Burnley, Hull or Middlesborough.
However on NSC we genrally believe we have a decent squad with a battle for even a spot on the bench meaning players such as Lualua miss out.
My question is: Who from the other 3 title contenders would you welcome into our existing squad and subsequently who would they replace in order to improve us

Gray much better than what we have
Hernandez much better than we have
Martin is much better than what we have
Rhodes is much better than what we have
Foristieri is better than what we have.
In my opinon all of the above would have scored considerably more than our forwards have, and we would be a few points clear at least..
Indeed, remember the call for Rhodes amongst several on this very site? Dodged a bullet there.

Definitely knows where the goal is, but Middlesbrough have broken the bank to get him in. Quite frankly, he doesn't add to a team's ability in anything like the way his successive transfer prices have suggested. He'd have been a total waste of money for any team who weren't already struggling for goals. At Middlesbrough, he's a big gamble. I'm not convinced he's going to get them up.Rhodes
Ah so the reason most of them have scored no more than our strikers is cos they are.playing in worse team then?
Conversely maybe our strikers may have scored more playing elsewhere!
Grant Leadbitter, bossed the game for Middlesboro when they blew us away
