……. We won’t win another match until a target striker is in the team.

As you have probably gathered - I don’t know much about football compared to the professionals.
BUT - I do listen to what the professionals have to say.
And last season - about this time in the season - Ismael was saying something on the lines of - the Championship is built on power, we need more power in the team.

In January of that season they put that right and brought in Morris and Dike.
They transformed the team.
Without them we wouldn’t have finished anywhere near 5th.

The lesson was surely learnt - we need power in the team.
Or so we thought.
This season most of the recruitment has been great - but we have started the season without the equivalent of Morris and Dike.
Consequently we are physically weak in the forward line - there is an absence of upper body strength.
With regards to that particular position the recruitment has totally failed.

If I can see this - surely the professionals at the club can see it.
So when they knew Morris was out injured - and Obbi wasn’t ready - why then, while the transfer window was still open, didn’t they do something about it !?!?!

Spoiling the barrel for a penny worth of tar.
