BCFCGav Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's a tough call looking at our strikers. Surely Famara, Reid, Taylor, Đurić and Hinds is enough but none have done it at this level yet. I think I'd be happy with no new acquisitions tbh.

I also think a more natural finisher would make more runs in the box...there was a phase of play in the first half where Diedhiou put the ball across. A natural striker would have been making a run to the near post and creating an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 As great as Bobby has been, he missed 2 sitters that would've got us something out of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I am not convinced yet...his finishing last year was not up to Championship quality. We all hope he will prove to be excellent in front of goal and that a pre-season with the squad will help but only time will tell on that front. Problem is we might not be able to give him time - the Championship is a very unforgiving league. He makes some fantastic runs as his movement is excellent; that will help massively as we should create lots of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs time to adapt but he did at least hit the target alot in league one, what did we get today 12 off and 3 on ? I know some disagree but I think he is worth persevering with once fit.

Hampshire reds Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have said for ages the forward line is not as strong as people think. Another striker is a must and quickly. Get rid of flint if he wants out and spend the money on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevedon Red Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 25 shots only 3 on target today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Said it on many threads but feel we lack a striker with pace and power. That's why I really wanted the Dicko rumours to be true earlier this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Changed my mind totally now. Bobby has fluffed a few actually, I think if we dont get a first class finisher in then we might struggle to convert chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 If the kid from Luton is the man Lee thinks is the answer then pay the money and get him in. We can't rely on injury prone Đurić. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Maybe, although if Bobby scored every chance he wouldn't be with us. That said, the attached isn't too shabby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take away Reids first minute goal that is over 90 minutes of football and we only managed to hit the target twice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Moonwalker Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 We have bobby, taylor and Đurić. It didn't work out today but bobby had 2 or 3 chances he really should've buried. Bobby isn't a natural striker - we deserved to lose. Let bobby start again against Brentford and if taylor or Đurić are fit phase them in, 1 result away after a 3-1 and 5-0 win at home isn't too much to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm not sure that we need a new striker as such, but we do need proof that Đurić and Taylor can also deliver at this level and not be perennially injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Can anyone tell me when Bobby Reid supposedly became a striker? I must have missed that one. yes, he's scored a couple. He still isn't an effective partner for FD9 though. I personally don't think he's good enough. The club have shown plenty of patience with him, but he hasn't delivered consistently. I'd love him to prove me wrong, but I'd be surprised if he does. He came through at the same time as Joe Bryan. There's a world of difference in their progression. And no, he isn't a young kid anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh after he's scored 3 in 2 and watching the highlights there I think his positioning is good from a poaching point of view. His problem has always been making the right decisions with the ball but playing further forward that's a bit easier - mostly shoot. He missed a half chance where he hit the post but Diedhiou from Smith's backheel and Patterson were the sitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezman Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Tammy missed some sitters too last season, don't remember being beaten with this stick. He's getting into the right area's. I'm sure with some practice in front of goal, the finesse will come. 4 goals in 3 games, he's doing well and deserves some more time up there.
