Brooker: Injured not training until about four weeks, so probably Dec 1st.

Showunmi:Off to see a specialist about his ankle-Month?

Jevons:Fit

Trundle:Fit

Byfield:Can't do ninety?

JMW:On loan and a left winger really?

Plummer:Not ready yet?

Sproule:Right Winger

Murray:Right Winger

Looking pretty sparse and it would take much for Vasko or McCombe to appear up front with SB & ES out.

Emergency Loan Looming and the same could be said for central midfield.

On another note Weale's hurt his wrist and needs an Op-Should miss about 2/3 weeks.

Over to you

Do we have a recall option on Henderson?

He's just come back.

Is it just me who'd not be adverse to getting Wayne Andrews back from Coventry? Did a job for us and despite his age might be a decent short term solution. Proven at this level and with us.

don't think we need forwards to be honest,

Jevons - Fit & Fresh

Trundle - Fit, low on confidence

Byfield - getting back to fitness slowy but surely, pretty close to a start,

Sproule and Murray - neither natural forwards but have done a more than able job so far this season.

Yet not in the 16 for some reason.

What game was that in then? The team's done well but Murray's only played well when coming on as a sub and Sproule too only had a good game against Man City when we were chasing it.

I think a loan for a targetman would be a good thing if we're to continue to play direct on the counter but as others have pointed out - who?

Hartson, if the wages were right

I think the earlier suggestion of Rowan Vine is a good one. Birmingham are pretty close by, have plenty of other first-team forwards, he's 6'1'', has a good scoring record at this level and with rumours of Hull wanting him on loan he might actually be available.

Plus considering his poor form after joining Birmingham last season might feel he has something to prove.

I'd love to see us sign him on loan, very good player at this level.

Given the choice of us or Hull I'd have thought it was a no brainer but I do wonder if Brum will want to loan or sell, they paid a decent price for him.

I would suspect that GJ isn't keen on adding new faces yet either, we may have to see some leave first.

Wayne is proven at League One level and that's where he's gone although TBH, I'd rather see him up front than Sproule.

don't think we need forwards to be honest,

Jevons - Fit & Fresh-But not even in the squad

Trundle - Fit, low on confidence-And not playing well or scoring

Byfield - getting back to fitness slowy but surely, pretty close to a start, Hope so and the only striker showing any form

Sproule and Murray - neither natural forwards but have done a more than able job so far this season.

Murray from the bench-Sproule not at all and hasn't scored

Apart from that, sound thinking

Come Jan, I reckon 2/4 out 2/3 in with the most movement in the strikers and central midfield.

We could relly do with another striker right now, if only to add to the depth of the squad. I think Byfield deserves a chance from the start but I don't like to think of Jevons coming on for him really as I didn't rate him highly in League 1. Sproule and Murray are both wingers and shouldn't have to play upfront.

I agree totally with your point regarding our exsisitng squad.

IMO Enoch and Jevons have not had enough first team action to be ruled out yet, the only confusing factor being quite why GJ is continuing with this midfielder/striker combo rather than giving either a shout. It might be fitness (and the latest news on Enoch seems to be bleak), but I find it difficult to believe that Jevons (who was partnering a supposedly unfit Byfield in the reserves weeks back) is out of the first-16 because of this reason. If Byfield can make the bench I'd have thought Jevo would be at least at that level as well (and he's had more reserve action than Byfield).

Hull do have more money via new investment and could leapfrog up tomorrow night, but asides from that Vine could do a lot worse than move to us right now. A few goals and decent performances (especially on Sky this weekend) might put him back in the Birmingham frame after a month or two here on loan. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I hope Jevons or Byfield will get a shout in the next couple of matches, as it would be nice to have a real forward partnership for once.

as i said yesterday, if gary was looking at bringing in a striker, tthen he wouldnt of said no to jevons going on loan to crewe seeing as he isnt even in the first team at the moment.

but i very much agree with vine. would be a great signing

Jevons is a different player to Enoch though. We could do with a tall striker who can boss the defense a bit. Although I guess we could use Vasko as a makeshift striker.

I think alex should stick with watching Coronation St.

We have a fairly strong all round sqaud, we certainly do not need to add to it.

I hope Man U arent complaining about their strikers as they arent scoring either. But teams still have to commit two defenders to mark them. Leaves a lot of room for the midfield to chip in with goals.

Team morale is high means more than signing stars, ask Spurs

I don't like/watch it thanks :)

We don't have a strong strike force IMO although having Byfield and Brooker fully fit would make a big difference. Havin seen all the games but one I think we need another attacker- what is wrong with that?

Listen to programmes like 606, Man Utd 'moan' as much as any fans.

'Leaves a lot of room for midfielders to score'- Why hasn't one scored for 3 games then?

Spurs team morale looked pretty good last night to me. Their defence however is a shambles.

I'm not sure what your point is. We have made a good start and I'm happy with it- but do you want to keep on drawing or win games in this league?

Over to you

had loads of hysteria and panic last year on the forum ("we must get a striker!!!" "in the name of god geta striker!!!" "we need a winger else we wont go up!!!", etc); turns out we got promoted

things arent bad - they just arent perfect. and we're a newly promoted team in the championship and we're third. and things arent perfect - because they wont be (because our didnt didnt cost the £10m or so it'll need to keep us there); so we make do with what we have rather than bring in the invariable crap you always get on loan. cheer up!

I believe we've missed a serious trick in not entering the bidding for Rowan Vine on loan. He could've been just what we needed at the sharp end given our failure to score again tonight.

I would like to think we're in the market for some genuine, proven class at this level but Hartson is not the answer IMO. Sunderland seem to be clearing the decks with some of their promotion winning team by shipping Kavanagh to Sheff Weds so someone like David Connolly could well be available on loan. Similarly, Shefki Kuqi could be available from Fulham or we could look down the Ismael Miller route and look at someone like Danny Sturridge at Man City.

The only geunine option now is to look at bringing Noble back into the fold to add some form of creativity to the team. Whether that means dropping a striker and shifting to 4-5-1 with him in the hole, I don't know. My personal preference would be to drop Lee Johnson and let Nobe's add creativity to the central midfield. I think LJ has been too much of a passenger recently and it could be the little kick up the backside he needs to recapture his form and focus of last season.

And I think you should watch a few more games in full.

We have a fairly strong all round sqaud, we certainly do not need to add to it.

Four Games-Three Points-No Goals in the last two away-Almost No Shots-I beg to differ.

I hope Man U arent complaining about their strikers as they arent scoring either. But teams still have to commit two defenders to mark them. Leaves a lot of room for the midfield to chip in with goals.

May happen at an Utd-Didn't happen at Deepdale & Oakwell

One of the issues is that our newly signed stars ain't doin' it
