    That McLean is one ugly mutant hun *. Hopefully big Virgil cleans him out.

    Stokes doing better at right back than as a striker.

    Commons has a first touch like a Peugeot 206.

    Yeah, this is grim.

    We're totally toothless up front at the minute, the players don't look like they understand or are comfortable with Delia's system yet. Also, Stokes as the focal point of our attack isn't potent enough. We desperately need a better out and out striker with presence.

    I think if we had a couple more bits of quality up front we would be alright

    Same old, same old story ! Opposition sit back and say break us down. We have no problem working the ball wide but we have no target in the middle ! Is it so hard to find a striker with a bit of heading ability and physical presence ?

    Look I dont t care about transition phase or needing time to click 1 shot on target vs St.johnstone after 37 minutes is a disgrace regardless

    to much interplay in the inside forward central positions

    and no-one running in behind we need a striker looking to beat their offside trap

    get stokes off and pukki on

    just someone looking to get in behind them

    stop playing in front of them ffs

    Gordon has looked good, made a decent save, good communication with the defence from what i seen, actually caught a cross, one of a only a few weaknesses of Big Fraz.

    Does anybody know if Denayer was signed before the deadline because we are in big trouble going into this Maribor game if we don't sign a striker, especially if ronny is going to persist with this formation.
