Who's to say we didn't look to strengthen our forward line? LJ said we had 6 different players we were looking at and they either moved to another club or didn't fit us as a footballer/person. We tried last season to strengthen our forward line in diony and look at how that worked out. I'd much rather we brought nobody in, than a rotten apple who would have a negative impact on the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd thing is since then, at Championship level, we've had players, virtually every season, at the top or very near the top of the goalscoring charts but haven't come close to making the play-offs. This season, we have nobody remotely near the top of the goalscoring charts and yet we are, at present with just over two months of the season to go, in the promotion play-off places! It certainly does have echoes of the last time in 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God I'd nearly managed to forget about him, yes that didn't work out well did it, but whether players decided not to come here for whatever reason or we just didn't think they would fit in at the end of the day it would have been nice to bring in a different option and I fear that may ultimately be our undoing, though I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Spent fortunes on attacking, players, 2 of whom have recently departed, but neglected the basics. As for John Terry, goes to show being a good player doesn't make you a good coach. Bit of a blow to his expectation that he'll get the Chelsea job sooner or later. Thought the Chelsea job was Franks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A distant prospect now. Lampard is more likely but I can't see them going for a relative rookie any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
