Unless we get somebody who can stick the ball in the net, we will sooner or later be in a relegation dog fight.

A goal poacher is an absolute priority.

Sod being a good footballer. If he scores goal with his backside, his chest, his kness or any part of his body for that matter I couldn't care less. As long as he makes the oppositions 8 yard box his area of expertise then the others can do the donkey work.

The prospect of BSP is just not something that we can even contemplate.

Is it not 6? or 18

Fleetwood scored 3 yesterday at Luton in front of 6000+ fans. The Conference isn't what it used to be. Ashley Grimes that wiped us out yesterday had scored 11 in 13 games for Lincoln, which has seen them rise from bottom to mid table in 2 months.

If he continues that form he will be off to Sheffield or Derby before too long.

i know somebody who fits that description Phil Jevons



but seriously it's not that type of Striker we need our midfield isnt exactly all that creative for starters to feed somebody like that who's just going to stand there and goal scrounge? no thanks!

for me the type of Striker we need is somebody who's well built like a athlete who can run with the ball and beat players a bit like Rene Howe a few seasons ago with some of the individual goals he would score and win tight matches like against Bradford

Agree with you on this CC.
Only please replace the words " ... will sooner or later be ... "
with the word " ... are ... "
All the teams at the bottom are picking up more points than we are. Even Stockport found a win from somewhere and their fans had the BSP as an absolute certainty last week.
How many times is there one team each year that thinks they can amble through the second part of the year safely and that the drop couldnt possibly happen to them.
And on the last day get relegated.
We need to wake up now and get the wins to ensure safety as soon as possible

Tubbs got a hat trick for Crawley to win the game after being 2.0 down at half time. Ellison on loan at Bradford scored the only goal.
These type of players don't grow on Christmas trees , although some have been known to fall off them!

Whichever... the fact remains we need somebody. I'm tired of being told we're in for this and that with nobody actually coming in. Others seen capable or do we rely too much on agents rather than getting out and about ourselves? I don't know, but it's getting too close to the BSP for me!

Not sure that a new striker would instantly mean more goals, and we are in a dog fight, not a case of sooner or later. So the players we have now need to roll their sleeves up, put in more effort, work harder at shutting down the opposition and kick that ball with some venom. Sammy should have them in for double dose of training, get the strikers to practise shooting on impulse. We do lack pace, yet that was the case last season too and we got into the play-offs?

I would prefer to see our players give it some serious wellie every time they get within 30 yards of the goal. Why try to get the ball in the 6 yard box before we go for goal, sheeish we miss most of those chances too, so what's the point in that. Also the opposition are going to realise that eventually one Andy Parrish torpedo shot will go on target and give us more respect. Time to stop the powder puff rubbish and get about teams right from the kick off.

(Sammy should have them in for double dose of training)

Haha....sometimes the team doesnt even get a single training,and we are suppose to be a pro outfit now.lol

Although a striker may seem a priority, I still can't see us forking out over and above the cost of the 4 strikers we already have. Afford to or afford not to, that is the question

I am sick of all this negativity and whinging

we are in the football league FFS

[edit Keith: Behave.]

Poacher a priority???



I prefer Christie The Cat!!! Or even Globey The Globebot!!!

No more sick of it than Sammy and Mark I would have thought. Reality check: Morecambe is not a massive attraction to players. Even the new stadium and excellent training facilities hasn't seemed to pull in Sammy's first choice players! But what can he do about it? Nothing except keep trying.

Surely we made a few quid on the Duffy sale, and with Mullin ready for the knackers yard, a new striker is a major priority IMO.

I hear Bare Ben is available?
