Desperate need of a goal scorer

[BensGrandad]

Chris is ultra cautious and Tony prepared to gamble, complement each other well.

I've read some intriguing quotes attributed to Hughton

"It's harder to manage up than manage down" suggesting that dealing with a board of directors is trickier than the dressing room, and

"I'd rather lose 1-0 than 3-1" which ties in with his cautious team setup.

Apparently a very good interview with Liam Rosenior on the Radio Sussex phone in shedding some light on our approach to signings.

Liam Rosenior came across extremely well in that interview.
Easy to see what players of his experience and intelligence bring to the dressing room. It's showing on the pitch too because team togetherness and organisation is superb this season.

I didnt hear it but son phoned and said I should try to find it and listen is it available any where.

We cannot buy one now so do we approach a club for a loan to buy in January thus spending big money or do we look for a Kevin Phillips type loan, mind I dont know who to suggest. Whats Ricardo Vaz Te doing now?

No idea, sorry. Have to try BBC and official club site I suppose. The bloke oozes professionalism and said he wants to go into management himself one day. Spoke very highly of CH, which of course he would anyway, but sounded like genuine respect for a very well regarded manager.
So many positives to this season so far. Think we can expect big things from it if we carry on progressing like this.

We should have supplemented with Vydra as many said at the time. Would have been fantastic value

£2.5 million for a LOAN. Vydra has scored just one goal, today.

I'm sorry, I don't call that fantastic value.

Still top and unbeaten after a traditionally shit month and having had players missing through injury or suspension for the past 5 games. Are we that desperate that we can't play out another 10 pictures before the Jan window opens? We may not be top 2, but this team is certainly good enough to pick up enough points to ensure that we will still be right in the mix on Jan 1st.

I don't give money to the Dirty Digger, although hats off to the old goat for knocking off Jerry Hall.

What she sees in the 84 year old multi-billionaire is beyond me though.

My judgement is that we would have got more points and would have oushed us further. That is good value. But i could be wrong snd if he hadnt then i agree, not good value

 

[ewe2]

IMO it would be very unfair on the the other championship clubs.....if we had a prolific goalscorer.....!!

 

[RexCathedra]

I thought getting Bobby Z was the answer.

Did the question change?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Possibly controversially, I think Colunga would have been a more likely scorer than Baldock. He had natural ability, class and a lovely touch of arrogance. Baldock is more of a runner and a scuffler who couldnt put a foot wrong last year, but has struggled to replicate it at a higher level. Sadly reminiscent of CMS.

He played for us last year.

He is part of the answer for sure, but for me at least he was not THE answer

 

[Hampster Gull]

Indeed. Without Bobby Z we would almost certainly be 6th, rather than top... and it's still early days.

He ain't the 20 goal a season man anymore, but he will often be the difference between 1 point and 3.

As well as BZ, not instead. We need someone better than Baldock.

Whoops. Of course, I meant his final season before joining us.
