    The Missing Piece of the jigsaw?

    Would it be fair to say that we are missing a physical, 6 foot 5 centre forward who can bully defenders (like that guy from Newport)a proper 'number 9'. We put so many balls in to the box on Saturday with no outcome. Or would we have been best off keeping Dennis as more of a 'fox in the box?'.

    In league 2, you need one or the other, probably the big bully to be fair. Our strikers seem to be more like number 10's than number 9's.

    Totally agree Akinde was the man we should have gone for and im not alone in saying this it was rumoured Jan 2018 we were after him.

    Id say we also needed strong midfielders we have a few now but its too late.

    To be fair, our strikers seem to be more like number 2s.

    And I'm not talking right backs.

    If by some miracle we signed both Ronaldo & Messi, they would be 'crap' after a few matches - guaranteed

    We need both to be fair. Apparently the reason Ardley let Dennis go was because he said he needs a target man along side and we couldn't get one
