Was this last night by any chance? I was there Wednesday without enough cash to pay for the merch that my daughter wanted. Between me and the missus the third card we tried worked OK, but the people in front and behind us both had to pay cash. So I think it’s probably a temporary issue with their card machines.
No mate, it was early last year "Les Miserable". I don't know about the Merch that night but the bars were cash only.

We have to bring in a striker if we are serious about top 6 this season. Im hoping Baz is just guessing and that the club are keeping quiet about any targets.

Even if the plan is to have Delap next season, whether its on loan or to buy, we STILL need another out-and-out striker at the club regardless. Sharp wont be here and Connolly is a bit hit and miss with form & injuries.

Worst we could do is bring in a young prem striker on loan and assess the situation in the summer when we know what league we're in.

Stansfield would be good.

Abel Hernandez ... been here done it at this level, and from what I read earlier is available, he's still only 33 so would be a spring chicken compared to Sharp.
 
It’s a lesson they’ve had before and simply not learnt from if it repeats. Every window they’ve admitted they need to have 3 strikers at any time.

Signed Oscar and Tetteh but wanted Halil - ended up without a striker for large portions of the season.

Signed Connolly and Delap but wanted Davis as well.
Good point
Signed Sharp to make up the 3 prior to losing Delap (Baz says he’d be surprised if we saw him again) leaving us with just Sharp and Connolly.
 
To have one of the best assists putting in crosses from the left and have no one there to put them in the onion bag seems a bit pointless to me, who will actually get on the end of them, up front we are not soo tall…..

Once Philogene is fit and assuming we bring in a winger AND Omur I'm not sure Lokilo gets a game.

We'll have Philogene, Carvalho, Tufan, Winger, Omur, Traore all competing for 3 (possibly 4 attacking births including striker)

Also likely to have Slater and Doc on the bench with Seri and Morton in the middle. Slater in particular is an asset to club and will likely get a chance alongside Seri/Morton or the front line as he's proved adept at both. With all the flair players, Doc (if he hangs around) with his work rate and his ability to play any of the midfield positions has some real value until the end of the season at least too.

Assuming Giles gets over the line, he's an option on the wing too with Jacob, Coyle and possible even Furlong (who's injured so won't be going on loan) behind.

Lokilo was a gamble that has kind of just flat lined. He needs games in order to move on, or have a future at City, and I'm not sure (all being well for the rest of the window) he gets it here during the second half of the season.
