tin Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Stating the obvious but if ever we needed any proof that we need a new striker, yesterday was it. I thought we played some superb stuff and created shed loads of chances but just lacked that poacher to turn our dominance into a resounding win. You could tell by the way Colchester celebrated at the end that they thought they'd got out of jail and we can't keep going on with this. I don't think I've seen us have so many corner's, with consistently good delivery from LJ and McIndoe, yet we didn't seriously threaten once. The sooner a top drawer striker's brought in the better as I don't think Trundle's up to it and Byfield was poor as well. Are we close to bringing someone in?

Personally, if we're going to buy then we should look at players with genuine potential either in the lower leagues or in the reserves at a Prem club. Nicky Maynard's still at Crewe after overcoming a broken leg and he'd be one name I'd throw into the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember their keeper having to make a single save in the 2nd half yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crosses were going in but there was nobody sniffing them out. I lost count the amount of times the ball dropped in the six yard box or flashed across it. Sproule created a great chance by getting to the byline on the left, pulled the ball back brilliantly and there wasn't a red shirt in site, hence the title of my post.
