We do appear to be heading in the right direction, can we make a push for the playoffs? Still think we need that striker imo.

See, that's just it for me. I don't think we've produced the most form our current strikers. Bus is still an unknown and CC is finally getting the best football out of Nuhiu. Joao is a season or so away from being a finished product.
As it seems we have missed out on the market, we should play who we have. I'm already Ok with the fact we're squad building and promotion is highly unlikely this season, it may come as a bonus if we're lucky.
I feel Bus, Nuhiu Joao & Matias are capable enough to see us through the current campaign until the market re-opens and we can apply money sensibly for that 20+ Striker.
It's irrelevant that we're now a rich club. That doesn't mean simply because we can afford Premier league 'cast-offs' we should do sign them.
We've been poor so long the thought of spending 1.2M loaning Graham makes my arsehole shrink!

Bus has done little wrong in my eyes. He has had limited opportunities since he signed but has shown that he is more likely to be good enough for a promotion chasing side than not IMO. If he was a bit taller, he would be well ahead of Nuhiu. As it is, he is good competition.
Joao might be good enough later this season provided he gets game time. He should start all the cup games & come on after an hour in league matches which wil speed up his development.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Happy it's on Sky!
That will make the club look at reducing tickets prices similar to the Hull game!

Will still affect the attendance. I'd rather it wasn't on Sky and we got 30k in the ground.

If it wasn't on TV, we could have sold out at £25. Now we will probably struggle to get 30,000 and the armchair fans will stay in their arm chairs.
