Chris Sutton made good point today about difficulty of recruiting a third striker of decent calibre. Hadn't considered it but is a bit of a task unless we get someone good enough to challenge Moose and LG-and keeping 3 strikers happy. Besides Aitchison needs to come through now I think. Ajer played up front for a while back home but bit of an ask to reply on him. Hayes and Sinclair seem only other options.

A real good quality forward who can play through the middle or out wide would do nicely, with everyone fit he would take Forest's place, cover for strikers or Rogic if he gets injured. I know easier said than done but one quality signing like that would sort a few things.

Davie, the over reaction to Wednesdays result has been ridiculous, we are a massive club world wide but are incapable of signing players just to sit on the bench or to do TV interviews.
At this time of year we are at a disadvantage on many levels, traditionally we need to wait till later in the transfer window for bargains to surface which rules out qualifiers, we seem to draw teams well into their season, which is a great leveller and even the fans at home games are never the same at this time of year, holidays etc.
Until Uefa do the right thing and start to once again prioritise Champions in their Champions cup, we will just have to do our best to compete.
And incidentally I still think we will turn them over next week, we will be a week fitter, that should be enough!
