No sexual innuendo please! But, can anyone think of enormous centre forwards that might do better than our current crop of diminutive strikers?

I suppose there's Peter Crouch at 6ft 7ins, and from the past Roger Davies of Derby at 6ft 5ins who played in their European Cup campaign. And . . .

Shaq, tall, strong in the air, knows where the net is.

How about Bobby Zamora, even on loan?

We don't necessarily need a 6ft 7 striker we just need someone with a bit of presence that can hold the ball up and get on the end of some crosses (assuming we can get some width to our play!).

Oops.

I had of course forgotten that he is a miserable Northern ex-Palace Judas who never scores goals except in the final year of his contract with a poor disciplinary record who showed his total contempt for all things Albion when failing to clap the fans at Brentford away. That should get me back in the good books of his detractors shouldn't it?

I will wear a hair shirt for the rest of the day

Murray or Zamora would make a difference for sure.

Chris Wood. Not a big lump as such, but young and hungry and six foot three.

We need a talismanic big black striker, in the mould of Iwelumo, Savage, Owusu, McCammon, etc - it is the only thing that can save our season and power us to the playoff positions.

WTF has the players skin colour got to do with anything? Very strange post!

Adebayo Akinfenwa.

Scoring goals for fun at Wimbledon, he would be a cult GOD. McCourt supplying Akinfenwa = Flairgasms.

there's definitely a certain type of striker in the english game that a lot of clubs have and they're often successful. They're big,strong and quick

and 99% of the time, they're black
