Amatures in charge at SAFC who have not a clue, Ancelloti should have been brought in, and half the half wits have to be cleared out before i go back, that was another humiliation like WBA, Blackburn etc i hope O NIel is not here long or am i going to be saying in 10 years time the same thing. We went downhill after selling Bent and Jones and frankly looked league 2 standard and the worst thing is the mags might make the champions league next season. Totally pathethic and we will not win again this season now, because they are not interested.
 
So why did we not find a striker in January?

Probably because Bruce wasted most of our seasonal budget on Wickham. Everybody had a good laugh when Sunderland enquired about a striker during the winter transfer window. We were quoted over £5 million for Ricardo Fuller.
 
Main problem is Ji and Wickham aren't good enough (I reckon Wickham will be, but no Ji) and we've no ****ing strikers. Something MON should've addressed in Jan.

Summer we need:

2 proven strikers - Not to play both but to allow rotation. One who is proven in prem and 1 star player
2 CMs - An attacking minded one and a defensive minded one. PASSING ABILITY IS A MUST
2 wingers - to add some desperately needed depth on the wings
1 CB - Depth needed there
1 LB - Possibly Bridge but that needs to be sorted
1 RB - Back-up and competition for Bardo

Will we get all of those? I Highly doubt it, but it's what we need IMO[/QUOTE

but if there good enough for the bench why not start them thats my problem!!!

its no good us getting beat then chuck the poor ****ers on, whats that gona do for there confidence? we didnt need to win today (thank ****)
so why not chuck them on from the start and attack?? if there never given a chance how will we ever know if there good enough??

wickham has been in the championship so needs to be playing in the prem or sell him, ji has always looked ok to me hardly ever loses the ball but how can you tell with 5 min here and 5min there???
 
So why did we not find a striker in January?

Maybe we did go for strikers in January, but none of the bids worked out?

Maybe MON decided it was worth the risk, so we would get better prices this summer? It was worth the risk imo, as we a safe from relegation which was MONs only aim when he took over from Bruce.
 
who the **** should be on the bench then (strikers)? Poor options are better than no options.

Bruce brought in 2 strikers that he must of known wouldnt be ready, and MON is stuck with them until he can buy this summer.

I am not blaming MON for the previous managers mistakes.

Syd, I am not sure how Wickham should be better than Sess by himself? You say MON is the manager and it is up to him to decide, and he decided Sess is a better option by himself than Wickham. Surely that tells us all we need to know?

Then play Richarson or bring Mclean in and why no striker in January? Not after an argument but I think he got it wrong and 4-0 would suggest he did.

Amatures in charge at SAFC who have not a clue, Ancelloti should have been brought in, and half the half wits have to be cleared out before i go back, that was another humiliation like WBA, Blackburn etc i hope O NIel is not here long or am i going to be saying in 10 years time the same thing. We went downhill after selling Bent and Jones and frankly looked league 2 standard and the worst thing is the mags might make the champions league next season. Totally pathethic and we will not win again this season now, because they are not interested.

And they call us deluded! LMAO!

Are you actually being serious? Like really? We will win our majority of the games we have and we will finish in the top half. MON is a quality manager. FFS

<doh><confused>

seriously, are you totally off your trolley?
 
We need a striker there is no doubt and Grant Holt should be top of our shopping list. He was superb for Norwich again today. We also need to look at the possibility of having Gyan back. If we had: Holt, Gyan, Campbell and Whickham plus Sess we would be in a much stronger position.

I think there is a bit of a knee jerk reaction to the other positions. Our midfield is actually very good when they have decent forwards in front of them. Its very difficult to make a pass forward when your only option is a tiny striker marked by 2 big CB's.
 
you must be really proud of your team so proud that you would rather be posting on our board then enjoying your win!!! hahah very ****ing sad

I am , so proud of the lads , rarely let us down this season!

Good to see some of the old faces around here again , still bitter as ever <laugh>

Where are the likes of Cestria and MackemsRule (whose son drives a car I've been told) nowadays?

I'm not sure what is difficult to understand. Bruce amongst a myriad of reasons... was sacked because the squad is lacking quality and depth, especially so in amongst our strikers. We have a loanee as our MAIN striker and when he is injured what do we have left?? It is common knowledge that the prices quoted during January take the Micheal and that is why there is minimal movement between ANY clubs during that particular window.

We saw today the end product of a previous manager who spent the best part of £10 million on one player that isn't upto premier league standard, he might be one day, but he isn't today, along with an injury to our MAIN striker who is ON LOAN.

To spend the best part of £10 million on a lad who isn't ready for the premier league during the new era of financial fair play rules is total and utter incompetence. Today, we saw the result of having a threadbare strikeforce for which we were unable to adjust during January due to the prices quoted for average strikers such as Ricardo Fuller.
