Pack the midfield and get some of them to get forward. Use the likes of March and possibly Dickenson in midfield with Buckley as the main striker.

At least OG won't be able to drop Ince yet BG. That must be pleasing. :lol:

So people expect us to get through the whole season with 2 (hopefully soon to be 3) strikers?

Why should the club rush out and get any striker this week? We have one game against a team at the bottom of the table on Saturday then a two week international break. It's obvious the best strikers will become available on deadline day. Unless you want us to get someone like Paynter again the club are doing exactly the right thing.

Chelsea played Man Utd without a striker also Spain at Euro 2012 often had a rotating 6 midfielders instead of a recognised forward

Clearly Ulloa's prospective new club don't want him getting injured tomorrow and scuppering the deal.

Even shite teams in this league have a bloody ARRAY of forwards to choose from
Er, no.

Millwall have three strikers, all three of them are either injured or doubtful, and two of them are utter gash anyway:

The problem we have is that CMS is expensive and out for another month or two. It can't be easy to find a striker prepared to play occasionally for two months because lets face it, once CMS is fit he will be second choice or even third behind Barnes.

Indeed, and we've been very unlucky with Hoskins. Decent strikers are notoriously expensive, so I'm guessing the development squad strikers/attacking midfielders/utility players are a better bet than another Barn Door Billy until such a time as we have our main strikers fit and/or can add someone of real value.

Disagree. Rather have a GOOD midfielder playing out of position, than a SHIT striker. What's the point in carrying rubbish players in your squad, who are only EVER going to play in an emergency?

Naylor saying that OG was referring to ORLANDI, not ULLOA during the press conference this morning.

I'm not sure that's true. If we're going to play a shit, ineffective loan striker then I think I'd rather we just gave a run out to someone in the development squad.
