frey is still a massive upgrade on dykes, didn't have a great game yesterday but if dykes had put in that performance we'd be saying he had a good game such is dykes uselessness on the pitch lol. frey at least knows how to lead the line and is always eager to be in the box and on the end of things. fully agree that he's not the answer to our striker woes though although we'd all love to be wrong about that. One goal in eight or nine games, one missed penalty. Doesn't sound like a MASSIVE upgrade to me.

One goal in eight or nine games, one missed penalty. Doesn't sound like a MASSIVE upgrade to me. my nan who's been dead since 05 is a MASSIVE upgrade when the original striking option is dykes. dykes is hopeless and imo the worst striker i've ever seen at the club. fair enough i've only supported us since our promotion from league 1 but no other striker has played as much or been given as many opportunities to fail like dykes has. of all the truly stupid decisions our club has done i feel like giving that turd a new 4 year deal in the summer after having an offer from millwall is right up there as truly brain-dead lol. frey's stats aren't great i will agree but i trust what i see with my own eyes and he's not been as bad as dykes, the only thing to really write off is his abysmal pace (to bring up my nan again, it'd be a close race over 100m). modern strikers aren't solely goalscorers nowadays though. they lead the line, free up space and draw in defenders which is something frey does far better than dykes.

Have we ever tried Smyth alone up front?

Have we ever tried Smyth alone up front? don't think that would be too wise tbh but i wouldn't be opposed to an interchangeable front 4 of andersen, smyth, willock and chair. smyth deserves a shot off the left wing as well as that's where he played and scored some right bangers for orient

None of them any good but Donkey is the worst.

Frey has a decent scoring record in Europe, so hoping he can translate that into Championship football, which he's clearly still adapting to. Get the feeling he just needs a goal to settle down and hopefully go on a run.

Speaking about strikers: Conor Chaplin is a striker we could have bought when Barnsley( ?) went down a few seasons ago. Look at him now; scoring for fun for Ipswich.

You were right about Marti Shania, give us some strikers he might know well?

How many times have we all said this? It's absolutely ridiculous we'd start a season with the tripe up top that we did. If we get out of this, I hope it's a massive lesson learned from the club. You need a goal scorer or two or you'll struggle. It's really not rocket science. Ferdinand's legacy. Cheers Les.

Here's a question: IF (big If) Eze is sold and we get some money in for a couple of strikers, should Armstrong go out on loan next season and start every game? Or does he remain as an impact sub?

Bottom line is we're a decent side who just don't know how to score goals
Story of the season in a nutshell.
