am I losing my mind or did we really spend 5.5 million on strikers?

then lose one through injury and Not use the other one at all

and casually not replace them... malky thought it was that serious we needed to spend almost 6 million. that money has gone to pot, we then loan a winger ? to put on the bench as teams around us signing strikers in the loan market

thats my view on things at the club... is that real?

someone please reassure me i'm not going senile with dementia?

We spend 6 million maynard and volikanja ... plus bellamy whos limited through games per week and injury proneness.

we cant just go on like nothing has happened,
We wont improve our away form without strikers other than a 10-12 a season target man 'helguson' and mason

Helguson has 7 goals a third into the season.

Money doesn't always quantify talent straight away. If Van Persie ran out his contract and went on a free does that mean that Parkin is better because he went for money? No it does not. So the same logic applies that doesn't mean Velikonja is better than Helguson. Helguson has been great so far and Mason works his socks off. When they start to falter then Malky will use Etien.

Why didnt Malky know Maynard would get injured for the season :old:

Bellamy is back
Helguson scoring well
Mason going through the motions but capable
Etien almost ready

Team scoring goals, I've never bought into this theory of defenders are paid to defenders and strikers paid to score. It's a team game. We are scoring goals from all over, huge advantage.

And this is why our 'fans' give me the right raging hump!!

Hours after one of the gutsiest performances in years, where every player put his
body on the line for the Club, where we got a most unlikely win against an excellent
side...

You have to rack your brains and find something to grumble about

Sad.

We've got Hudson, Connolly & Turner to score our goals :ayatollah:

I thought Maynard was 2.5m and Velikonja 1m. No way should we have spent 5.5m on the pair even if they were both fit, in the first team and scoring goals.

I agree, we spent all that money, why because we needed those players, so yes we need a quality loan player to replace Maynard. ASAP.

f*cking amazing maths skills there buddy

Maynard was £2.75m and Velikonja was £1m so no.... We didn't spend £5.5m on strikers

2nd highest goal scorers in the league and only failed to score in 1 of our 17 league matches this season. An average of 2.2 goals per game at home and 1.75 away.

Your spot on scoring goals is not a problem for this team.

:lol:
there are some right cunts on here fair play

no wonder our support has gone so shit and lacks atmosphere , imagine we were 10th 5 points off 6th who would be turning at home?

Ok I admit math wrong I thought maynard was in the region of 3m maybe 4m with add ons, velikonja around 1m plus wages...
and bellamy ... if a large chunk of money spent on attackers.

My concern is we lack a killer instinct and give away leads easily and struggle to find ourselves away from home. =
that is all - so anyone who disagree's take a look at our away form table and stop being so f*cking miserable trying to find faults with every single forum post unless he's your mate.
