These sort of threads are all well and good and very noble but I find it a bit patronising all things considered.
We all know we needed a striker. Fans, Bloom, Hughton, Barber, everyone. We had all summer to get one. In fact as the first automatically promoted side we had longer than anyone...
Agree with all of this. We should have got one in the sand early on. An Abraham type of player would have given us a level of competence. Then sure if we could get someone brilliant later on then great, but leaving yourself exposed to having no one at this stage is just incredibly stupid.
