Ladapo has just been released on a free by Ipswich too

League 1 at best, and was s*** at Charlton last season.

Yes, that's why I said it.

I'm typically on the pessimistic side but relegating us in August is something else to be honest

Absolutely brilliant is a serious stretch for most of our signings… though I do admit the budget has been heavily restrictive. We needed more investment to have a change of survival.

Like I say, striker is the most important position we’ve needed a signing in for over a YEAR now. To fail to get one yet again is unforgivable. You can sign all the other players you want, we will NOT survive without a better number 9.

I get what you’re saying but I honestly don’t think there’s any striker, in our price range, that we could sign that would guarantee we stay up. 

Yates has also only had one league game so far. I think if we signed him on deadline day, rather than at the start of the window, people would be a lot more excited to see how he goes this season. 

Still a few hours to go. Let’s see!

Sounds like Broja (to Ipswich) deal is off again, hence Al Hamadi looking unlikely

We forgetting the free agent market Warne mentioned earlier? Tonight is not the end of our business.

Derby fans "Brown should be starting. He is quality and Warne is shocking for not playing him"

Also Derby fans "sign a new striker now"

[StokieRam]

Assuming as usual we dont get a striker in, I’d personally be all over Roofe or Gayle. All in all I dont think this has been a bad window at all!!

Imo it is more important to have a physical presence up top so we actually have someone to cross to. Collins is forever stood behind a 6ft 5 defender, and Yates is a midget.

I agree completely look at Frey for QPR tonight, great hold up striker. 

But if we end up with Yates and Collins at least we need to get some more creativity in the team. Seems like we have signed loads of cdm's. Unless we're going for 1 goal wins all season and shutting up shop. #fun

Edozie, potentially a decent winger Saints bought from Citeh - for too much - is available for a loan. 

Sky reports Sheffield Wednesday, Rangers, Swansea, Sheffield United and other unnamed Championship sides for him to choose from.

I've let a lot go tonight on here but I am not going to sit here and have someone bad mouth cold pizza and sausage rolls. I'm not going to stand for it.

If you start going off at cheese and pineapple hedgehogs I will probably get banned. 😜

If we don't sign a striker, then we might as well wave goodbye to the Championship.

But we want a new striker because Warne isn't starting brown, even in what ended up being a meaningless cup game.

Marcus Harness?

To be fair not many suggesting he should be starting, but could have been given more opportunities than he has to date. None of us see what Warne sees in training, I guess we have to trust that process as we haven’t been given many chances to see what he can do.

The lad in the baseball cap looks how Warne feels at this point .

Wouldn't another striker simply push him further and further down the pecking order and probably out of the club?

To be fair, we were never going to get promoted last season unless we replaced McGoldrick's goals. They weren't replaced, yet we scored more and got promoted.

If we can't find a striker that fits what we want for the budget we have, then there's little point spending on someone who doesn't fit the mould and have it backfire.

Although a few years ago now, we do have two strikers that have both had a career best of 14 goals in a Championship season. I don't think a team battling relegation can expect to have a striker scoring much more than that, so if we can get the best out of Yates etc., then we aren't a complete write-off yet.

Roofe and Gayle? They’d be fighting over who hobbles into the treatment room first in a morning 🙈
