Stayed up to watch our highlights on ITV last night, they only showed the Wednesday goal, no attempts on goal from us shown in the highlights?0

I thought that was the case actually, as he appeared so listless from the start.
Anyone got the exact info on this?
It also seems a number of posters are suffering from mild attention deficit disorder. For their benefit I remind everyone that Jayden Stockley last season reached 20 goals in all comps despite being injured for several weeks as well as suspended for 3 games after being stitched up by the pub team at Accrington. You’re welcome.7 -
I think that is unfair on McGrandles but given the temperature and his lack of games, it was a poor decision from Garner IMO. I would have preferred Gilbey as I think he is the best equipped for those conditions but either would have been preferable and that isn't to say that McGrandles won't turn out to be a great signing.0

a decent performance except for goal scoring, we were better than them for long periods, though they finished the stronger.. the need for a consistent goal scorer has been obvious for a very long time ..
we lost to a good goal, great cross and fine header from Bakinson who likes playing against us, he scored the first for Ipswich last game of last season, this was a lesson in chance taking in very tight games
We were good in midfield, dangerous down the wings generally OK at the back, BUT unless we start scoring more goals, this could be another season of wasted opportunity2 -

I praised things Stockley did yesterday more than any player. There was a chance when he went off for Leaburn to head it on for DJ who would have been free. Stockley would have made that. The fact is, from the moment him and CBT went off, and I am not saying they shouldn't have gone off as one was ill and one was finished, Wednesday pushed forwards more as they felt less threat.2

Yeah, Stockley wasn't great from what I saw, but Leaburn basically achieved nothing at all, which is fine, he was up against good defenders as a lone striker and he's very young, he'll have games like that1

Didn't see the game but the performance sounds promising and the striker situation exactly as most of us have been banging on about - as i've said before, the solution is we sell stockley and bring in a replacement that fits the system better. Ideally we'd keep him as i think he's a decent target man but i just can't see TS funding a striker of the required quality without selling one and i can't see stockley being happy playing second fiddle - the above may seem unlikely now, particularly as stockley is captain but we should have done it - maybe we will be pleasantly surprised and TS and the club have a striker lined up and we keep stockley - its massively important to get this sorted one way or another1

I can't see him being a number 1 anywhere that would pay what we do. If we loan him out to play we would have to contribute to his wages and the wages of who ever replaces him.
The same is true for Gilbey.
Would MacGillivray actually want to move for less than 2 years with a 6 month old baby?0 -
I wasn’t at the game but just watched the 10 minute highlights on Charlton TV. Interesting to contrast what those who went said about how well we played and the highlight package, which concentrates only on what happens in the final third, that looked like Wednesday were all over us.1

What I don't understand re the striker situation is, that when a group of us collared Martin Sangaard in the Keith Peacock suite in March, he told us they had money to go out and buy players but wouldn't bank roll the club in doing it. Fair enough but there has been little evidence of that money being spent so far.
If we want to be serious challengers and this league will only get harder to get out of, we need to go out and get that striker, yes all clubs are looking to do the same, but as Golfie says Pompey found one.3 -

there is unfair to compare Stockley last season's efforts and this season. Last season when effective he played with Washington in a 2 man attack, this season he is on his own and seems to spend more time in the middle of the pitch than up in the area. His help in defence is on par. with last season. It is not his fault that the manager does not play to his strengths.3

Everyone knows that we don't have enough goals in this side. The bookies are offering the odds they are because they know nothing. A 'top' striker please Thomas or we will be a lot of smiles for the huff, puff and grunt, but not happy faces come May.1 -

Aneke never fit.
Leaburn a work in progress.
And yet some on here reckon we don't need another striker.0 -

CBT was cramped and well stifled on the right hand side yesterday, he has looked mustard on the left.
So ‘his’ place was given to Kirk!
And Kirk contributed what exactly?
He was a passenger, and Fraser not much better.
I would like to think at least one out of Kirk, Gilbey and Fraser could become vital to the team, but if they were replaced in the starting line up, even the match day squad, I would not be at all upset.
Don't know about JRS, but to my mind Henry, Payne, DJ, Clayden, and JFC would be ahead of those three in the queue.
In what way could anybody describe Kirk, Fraser or Gilbey as undroppable?
Additionally surely McGrandles can’t really be the liability we have seen so far can he?0 -
Fraser so far has been a bit of a disappointment for me. He seems to be off the pace and lacks the cutting edge I hoped we would see. Morgan on the other hand has amazed me so far as he has really stepped up and put in performances I thought we would only see flashes of occasionally. Dobson has proved his value and must start imo. For me Dobson and Morgan have cemented their starting place until their form drops. I think payne will come in for Fraser so that's our midfield. JRS for Kirk will also make a massive difference hopefully6
