People need to stop going into full on jealous husband defence mode if someone dares to question the hierarchy or say they aren’t happy with something. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

We all want what’s best for the club, people are allowed to be frustrated just like others are allowed to count their bless we aren’t still stuck in L1 with a piss poor squad.

I'm sure every supporter would like us to sign more players ...

... it's just tedious wading through endless posts about 'the Stewart situation'.

My phone has started predicting 'situation' if I write Stewart.

I understand your point here and agree to an extent. But I dont think our budget is a static thing. I think it stretches for the right player.

I don't the issue is we dont have (for example) £4m to spend on a striker. I think the problem is we can't find a striker for £4m that the club think is worth £4m. (I have picked that number out of thin air).

Its a problem not unique to us, although I appreciate it feels like it. You only have to follow a few people on twitter to know pretty much every Championship club is trying to find a striker.

Surely that means if all the clubs are after that one class striker it comes down to the owner with the biggest wedge and the biggest bottle or simply just do without.
 
Hypothetical question here because we are all bored and clogging this thread up isn't annoying at all (is it?)....

... if Stewart did suddenly sign a new contract here, would people feel at least a bit better?

I know we need another one to cover until he's back.

Yep - this is why I think its unlikely we get a striker that seems an obvious pick. Because if they're obvious, somebody else in the championship willing to take a bigger risk will be in the front seat.

I don't mean that to knock the club. More fool the ones taking the risk. It doesn't always work out.

I can 100% guarantee if you don’t take a risk it will definitely not work out<laugh>

People always overreact after a defeat like.

The striker situation is a mess though so I guess I understand people complaining about that.

i understand totally why people are worried pissed off.

Might just be me but if someone’s made a valid point I’ll give them a like and not feel the need to say the exact same thing myself! never mind seeing people all make the same points over and over and over.

I would be delighted. However I am not feeling sad at the moment. I would rather be us than the majority of championship teams right now. A fit again Stewart is not far off the best striker in this league. We will also have our pick of premier league loans at this level to add to him. Amad will be back too I feel. Cherry on a very tasty cake Stewart.

Yes. Miles better, although there is still that worry about his injury
 
To be quite honest I never go to friendly games , I never go to league cup games , because when you make as many changes even against minnows you feel let down and demoralised . I have supported SAFC since the early sixties and when it happens I think what did we expect when we get beaten as we were against Crewe , by all means make a few changes to the side - but ten is taking the proverbial ! Supporters should be given their money back due to being shortchanged by the club or advised in advance that we are putting a reserve team out same as at Hartlepool with the same result !

Odion Ighalo is a free agent currently.

Been playing in Saudi so he’s banked his money already, scored 32 in 40 over there.

That’s surely the kind of ‘experienced free agent’ we should be looking at.

only outsiders will think he’s banked his money. He’ll want more. No way he leaves that kind of salary to come here.
