No, our guys are beginning to learn where the net is; even Nuhiu is inching towards the sweet spot. We don't need a, let's face it, a journeyman striker added to the wage bill. Remember Boothroyd... better still, don't.

Its a real shame that Lavery is out for an extended time, the chance to develop one of our own is my preferred option!! May will score goals if we give him service, while not as good as Hirst, he definitely has that fell about him!! Nuhiu will never set the world on fire with regards to scoring goals but will set up a few and holds up the ball very well, its just a shame at the moment that our midfield is not supporting the front two enough.

Once we get Hutch and Lee back we will be a better team but I still think our priority is a midfielder with vision and a bite in the tackle!!

[Maddix]

Agreed Imre. How old was Hirsty when he was thrown into the mix ? If you are good enough you are old enough and you won't find out by playing for the academy.

Betra is training with the first team. He'll get his chance

[dubaiowl]

Just seen Mays goal against brum. Well its been a long while since we had someone calm in front of goal who takes his time and picks the spot. Can see this boy being a cracking signing.

[consilio]

He looks capable of creating chances for himself. Just imagine how many he'd get with a decent winger in the side

[Chezzie Owl]

Well when Drenthe gets starting games then we may just see Stevie score more, providing he makes better decisions than Maguire does and JJ & Antonio (at times) used to and not look for glory too much.

I agree now though that Maguire needs to make way for Helan or Hope on Saturday, it doesn't seem to be working for him at the moment...maybe he thinks that he is un-droppable and that the starting place is his and though his work rate seems to have improved his deliveries and work on the ball needs looking at and needs to pass more and not shoot as much as 9 times out of ten from what I hear they go wayward. SG has warned him that he isn't indispensable and has to up his game otherwise he'll find himself on the bench. On Saturday I'd like to see Hope on the right and either Maghoma or Helan on the left....but I feel that with Drenthe unavailable due to his loan conditions it'll be unchanged on the wings with Hope coming on for the last 20-15 mins.

[consilio]

To be fair to Maguire he created the second goal, I didn't realise last night

We don't want our best goalscorer in May playing wide though really. We need him in the box.

Maguire was involved in setting up both our goals & set up Nuhui for the early chance so it would be rough to drop him after that performance. Maybe he is reacting well to SG's comments.

[Chezzie Owl]

Lets hope so and that it continues as I like Maguire and has it in him
