Are we still short of strikers?

No one out of Zamora, Baldock or Wilson is currently 100% fit. So yes, a striker is a good idea for the final few months. In all likelihood, we'll only have one striker fit enough to start against Hull - let's get some back up in.

I have posted this on another thread, you tell me, are we short of fire power!
Has anyone else noticed, in the last 3 games the scoring has been as such...
Hull - 2 goals
Boro - 2 goals
Burnley - 2 goals
BHA - 8 goals
Sheff Wed - 7 goals
Derby - 1 goal
And WE need a striker!

If we could get one striker to help us over the line then we should get him. Lots of games back to back. Question marks over all our forwards in terms of goals and/or fitness. The club won't get someone for the sake of it though which I like. Murray for me if we can although can see Howe and the FFP boys sliding down the table and wanting to keep all their players.
We're scoring plenty, certainly similar to others, but conceding too many compared to the leading pack. We've been brilliant, but far too often we've conceded sloppy or soft goals and put ourselves under pressure. The "one goal win" stats reflect our defence more than our attack IMHO.
All that said, amazing season - and I thunk we'll do ok without another striker.

So it's not a striker we need, it's better defenders who don't make sloppy mistakes then?

No we are well sorted
We're scoring enough but conceding too many. 30 against (14 more than Boro and 11 more than Hull) puts us in the pack with other teams near the top.

Wasn't even on the bench yesterday. Wondering if his style doesn't fit in with Bournemouth's - he's good at finding space, headers at the far post etc, but I think Bournemouth play a quicker, passing game.

True but in next two weeks Greer, rosenoir and bong will be ready.
We have been scoring goals which is great, BUT we haven't exactly been playing top-of-the-table teams.

Yes we are short, Bobby could be out at any moment, Wilson is carrying a knock and Baldock has returned from a long lay off.

Am I missing something here or are you ?
As Howe stated - he won't let Murray come here and as he's been named in their 25 man squad for the remainder of their season, by loaning him out, that would means they'd be short.
As far as I am concerned that's the end of the story

Push for top two and get another scorer in, Murray. I know they lost yesterday be was he on the bench for them?

Being in the 25 man squad doesn't count for anything if he isn't going to play anyway. Players regularly get loaned out whilst being in the 25.
Wilson is also in their 25 man squad

They are allowed to supplement with U21s. Lojg odds, but not impossible
