That is your opinion, a striker does not guarentee wins.

Where is it fact that Speakman said we didn't need a striker? Or is that what you were told?

They don't, but in our last two games we'd have had a better chance with a natural striker to offer a different option

Also

Speakman has definitely stated this. Off the top of my head I'd say it was in one of the unfiltered podcasts

You are obviously very passionate about the club Prehab but you aren’t the only one, we all are. We all know we have no recognised striker available and we all wanted to sign a third or fourth striker when the window was open, we didn’t and the window is closed. Given what has happened with Stewart and Simms I am sure Speakman regrets not signing someone but hindsight is always 20/20 vison.

What’s the point in trotting out the same whinge every time we don’t score, the window opens in January and we are stuck with what we have until then.

Ok. I will only comment when we win and it looks good ? I think this an opportunity missed and am error in judgement.

We had half a dozen games when Stewart didn't score but we still went up ...

... things don't always go to plan.

It's what I know.

And if you think that clubs can consistently win without a striker then good luck to you. I think the evidence of 0-0 at home twice. Is enough to start it mate. Was going to happen. It did. .

Happy with points return and approach generally but that call is fundamentally abysmal

It's not fact, it's what you were told, your obsession with Speakman is making you look like a spoilt child who didn't get his own way

Speakman has done amazing as well though. Think we have a great team there. Nothing wrong with being annoyed at all, 2 0-0 draws has me annoyed as well.

I just think our recruitment has been fantastic over last couple seasons with very few mistakes.

Its just a shame we lost our 2 strikers, these things happen in football.

If we stay top half when ballard simms n stewart come back we have a great chance to push for the playoffs after the world cup.

Will need to get recruitment right in January of course

We have some players coming back. Be nice to get them.

You happy with he infrastructure at the club? The staffing at the levels ?

Ok fella. I disagree strongly.

The fact the club is hanging onto its academy status due to his stewartship.... That won't be his fault either ? Staff on their arse ? Lots of positions unfilled?

None of that? Or shouldnt I allow that to cloud my judgement ?

Yeahni am, saw that graeme murty has been appointment in a youth coaches role - unsure exactly what he will be responsible for but heard great things when he was involved in the youth system at rangers.

I do wish someone at the club would respond to a few scouting reports that I've sent them of exciting players lol

I.know theres still a few key positions to be appointment but heard 2 will be announced soon, murty is one and the other is a guy from dundee utd

Most people think that mate, but what's the point of going on about it endlessly.

How many errors of judgement have Liverpool made, or Everton or Newcastle.

Jesus - we have to be a bit normal here. We can comment on good and bad things.

It is fact. He states that the decision was made based on Simms good start and that options like Dajaku could cove because he did in pre season against Roma.

Ok then. It's not ITK. Look at the job vacancies. Look at how many times they are out back out.

Ffs.

Waste of time unless it's high five these days.

It isn't up to me or anyone else when or what you post Prehab, I just tried to explain that we all agree we have no recognised striker and we all would have wanted to sign one or two during the window given the circumstances, but that bird has flown and it doesn't matter how many times you mention it, nothing is going to change until January.
