    we didn't creat anyhing, even if you had drogba up front yesterday he wouldnt of scored

    clarke and roberts were shocking for 90% of the game, half the time the couldn't even beat the first man from a corner,

    We missed an open goal yesterday. It was a tough chance but a chance all the same. Neil should have headed the chance he got at the end

    Agree re the set pieces, and that is another concern

    Agree. Our set piece delivery and our crossing from wide positions is very poor.

    Correct, but if we have the same squad v Preston, Rotherham and Coventry are you confident in getting any points?

    As you say....he didn't...that is as simple as that. If you read my very first post on the match yesterday, I was actually impressed with out play in the first half, the one touch football was great to see, If we had someone who the nous and vision (like a seasoned striker) that game would have been won. Too many ifs and buts...as the saying goes, if my auntie had bollocks she's be my uncle

    I wish that Clarke and Roberts would put the ball in early instead of constantly checking back - no harm in mixing things up

    Here’s a one.

    Has anyone in the league bought a single player we think would have massively improved us yesterday and made a difference? Particularly a striker?

    I’m saying no.

    I never said you cant be concerned or anything like that. Im always concerned until players are actually signed.

    My point, n others, is that the window isn't closed yet so thats when we know whether to be worried, concerned, excited, happy etc. Not after 1 game

    As i said if we won yesterday this conversation wouldnt be happening to the level it is today

    that's fell to a attacking midfielder it's didn't fall to are striker, and let's be honest even if it fell to a striker it's still not guaranteed to have still went in, yesterday had nothing to do with the striker problem

    If a fully fit Ross Stewart was up front yesterday, We would have won that...Clarke and Roberts would have delivered

    Yeah, you are probably right - what happens on the pitch always dictates what is spoken about and it masks a multitude of problems. However we all saw the difficulties we had last season with no strikers and we don't want a repeat, but as it stands (and the way the Manager is talking) suggests it's going to be more of the same. I really hope I'm wrong and am made to look silly when Hemir scores a hat trick at Deepdale and we sign 2 experienced strikers the next day, but as it stands I have massive concerns

    You said we didn't create chances, I mentioned 2 that we created in addition to the goal. Doesn't matter who they fall to, that wasn't what we were talking about.

    I'm generally an optimistic person,and I like the talent I see on the pitch. There are two areas of concern,which I'm sure will be addressed. I'm not frightened of any of the teams you mention....apart from I just know Ellis Simms is going to get one against us!!<doh> :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    Having said that....if we don't get any points from those games,I will agree with you that it will be a very slow start!
