    "one of this striking options" not backup.

    Would be very surprised if we didnt at least get a loan striker/winger before the window shuts.
    I take it to mean no loan for him this year and a bit of game time. If we start the season with what we currently have we are very reliant on Stocks and Connor, the other two are as yet unproven at this level.

    Don't ask me how, but I've got a feeling in my water this morning that there will be incoming(s) announced today.

    There you go. More proof that we are looking to use the youngsters & existing staff rather than recruit outside of the club.

    If we dont bring in another striker & just rely on the 4 already here (Stockley, Washington, Schwartz & Davison) then we wont be going up. Even bringing in a raw Prem loanee wont cut the mustard.

    Davison has outscored Stockley in preseason. Just saying

    It kind of makes me think of the early 90s years when we were a combination of youngsters, out of favour players from unfashionable clubs, combined with some nice loans.

    One of my favourite times supporting Charlton.

    That was in the championship. Not sure how I feel about that in league one.

    Saying 'Davidson is good enough' is clearly a cover for the fact we've been priced out of getting a good replacement for Aneke. 

    Going into this season with clearly worse striking options than last season.

    It will only be ok if we add a lot of goals from
    wide areas and use our striker as a battering ram.  Can’t see it

    I honestly think we just need to take a step back and let the professionals do their job! I trust them whichever way we go! At least we still have a ‘we’!
    Precisely.  We aren’t being bullshitted any more by the owners - we ARE on the lookout for improvements it’s just hard for us (and everyone e else) to finalise transfers as per Adkins comments yesterday.

    we are doing this right, we are doing this sensibly and sustainably but be under no illusion - we are doing it 

    not long to go and the excitement builds

    And Washington or the same? Did Washington score against Celtic?

    If we had signed a failed striker from fourth division Forest Green I doubt even the happy clappies would be pleased.

    That's the reality behind the we are going to piss this league next year Sandgaard Adkins bull shit.

    It is simple really, if you don't mean it, don't say it. We are growing the club long term organically. That's fine after what we've been through, but just be honest. Expectations have been falsely raised by their rhetoric.

    if we we are getting quoted stupid money for league one strikers and as I said before one other target club can’t decide if they want him to go or not .. others that are out there NA and the team feel are no better then what we got so why not give what we got a chance .. the window don’t shut till Sept and some of these players and teams like NA said might start to get a bit jittery and prices and demands drop …one thing we have learnt about SG is he plays the waiting waiting game very well

    I personally don't hang of every word a chairman or manager says (not saying you do mate, but there are plenty others that do) 
    If Adkins would have looked back at Hull on last day of the season and said 'fuck me, how on earth are we going to win this league' I wouldn't have give much of a toss either. 

    I love the positivity from them but even if we'd have spent £20million doesn't guarantee you'd piss the league.

    Even at this moment in time I think a lot of teams would love to have our squad and that's without 2/3/4 more incoming, that will happen before the transfer window closes.

    It's a fair point, AMB was going to be #1 if Amos went, then he wasn't. Plans can change on a dime and if an affordable improvement is available closer to the winder when clubs sort their finalised squads, I'm sure we'd stretch to sign them and get JD more minutes elsewhere.

    More of the same.
    3 other teams scored more than us last season.

    We have lost our top scorer who got 15, but also because of his presence caused us to score more goals even if it wasn’t him putting the ball in the back of the net.

    Take out that contribution of just Aneke’s goals and we would have had 55, only 8 teams scoring fewer.

    We won’t get near the total of goals we scored last season with the current 4 strikers. Davison is not Aneke. We need to bring in a striker and would be very disappointed if we don’t.
    You can’t just take anekes goals away from last season and say only 8 scored fewer.  We did have aneke and he did score them.

    To spin it, if we scored all our pens and didn’t hit the woodwork 17 times, we may have been top scorers.

    we can only judge aneke being gone this season coming, where Davisson/DJ and any new signings will hopefully chip into anekes 15 which won’t make us 9th bottom in goals

    Right. I missed Oxford. Still, a good return of goals. 

    At the beginning of last season, Aneke had only ever scored one goal for us, and people were freaking out that we hadn't replaced Lyle Taylor. 

    Who knows? Of course a proven striker would be nice, if there's another one going. 

    I struggle to follow the momentum of this board sometimes, I was absolutely certain people really wanted to see Davison around the first team this year. Now he's going to be, and it's bad news.
