Title: Strikers!!
Post by: herthab on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:01:05

We should be getting rid of some.

Glad you brought it up Steve, it doesn't seem like anyone here has commented repeatedly with the same mundane, redundant statement. At all.

Post by: herthab on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:09:13
My worry is that Danny Wilson hasn't realised that we need more strikers.

I think someone needs to tell him we're short of attacking options, just in case like....


Title: Re: Strikers!!

Worry on ...

I often think one of the trailist strikers will turn out to be the best goalscorer seen at the County Ground.

But if they don't, we'll be short of strikers!

Am I the only one worried about this!!!!????

No like I said I think Ralphys worried too

maybe you could worry together??? just a thought?

I certainly think that someone who has spent 30 years in football as a highly successful player / coach and manager has failed to notice this so its up to people like me, - fat, middle aged, not even first choice keeper for my school team in 1986, but have played FM for a few years, to make sure he is aware that he is in need of strikers.

Thank God (The Jewish One, not the Christian one) I'm not alone.

I think we should organise a demo at the Plymouth game to bring this concern to Danny's attention. I know it's short notice, but we need as many people as possible who think we haven't got enough strikers to congregate outside the players entrance and chant "We Don't Think We've Got Enough Strikers!" loudly and repeatedly for the whole game.

If that doesn't help Danny Wilson to realise we haven't got enough strikers I don't know what will.

Big Ben's got more strikers than we have!

I thought Big Ben only had one striker? I don't wish to appear pedantic, but Big Ben is only one bell, not the whole clock.

But doesn't the striker hit the bell you pedantic sausage?

Post by: herthab on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:32:52

Yes Si, the ONE STRIKER it has. Ergo Big Ben has the same number of strikers as us, not more.

I hope that's cleared up your obvious confusion.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: wheretherealredsare on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:35:52
Ah but, there are those who promulgate the theory that BP is not the complete strker, ergo we have less than one.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:36:01
Why did you also write the pointless factoid and not just say it has the same number?

It's always one rule for you and another for everyone else isn't it? You're such a hypocrite, I'm going to search for a really obscure example of why your posting of irrelevant facts is deserving of a banning.

Indeed but that means there is 1 striker...much as Billy Paynter is, on second thoughts....Big Ben..the bell not the flammible version.....makes lots of noise to those stood close to it.....visa ve......Lucas in goal makes the most noise to those close to him......so Lucas is not our new keeper he is in fact our new striker......theres logic for you! :D

I wasn't replying to you.

Anyway, I think we need 3 more strikers because Lee Peacock won't play for us again.

Even if Lee Peacock did play for us again, we would still be short of strikers! The number of strikers we're short of wasn't the topic of this thread. If you wish to discuss the number of strikers we're short of, I suggest you start a thread entitled: "How Many Strikers Do You Think We're Short Of" and post your comments on there.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:52:09
We need a striker called Ben and who is over 6 foot tall so we can call him "Big Ben" I suggest Ben May at Scunthorpe.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:52:53
Implicitly, my post stated we don't have enough strikers.

Your post stated the number of strikers you thought we needed. The number of strikers we need is not the topic of this thread. The topic of this thread is whether we need more strikers generally.

You, as usual, have taken this and twisted it to fit your own 'Three More Strikers' agenda.

And there is no place for that kind of thing on this thread.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:58:48
So do we have enough strikers or not?

Or is there another thread where a post such as this is more relevant?


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:59:19
If Lee Peacock can reover sooner, we may only need 2 strikers.


Title: Re: Strikers!!
Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, July 30, 2009, 11:05:43
I feel we need a hard hitting tee shirt campaign to make DW and Fitton fully away that we may have a shortfall in numbers in the squad in the striking department.

In answer....we need another 1 I feel.

Probably more impact at home matches though?

You see what you've started Si? What was intended as a serious thread questioning whether we need more strikers has degenerated into a free for all on the number of new strikers.

I hope you're happy

And obviously a thread designed to discuss the shortfall, or otherwise, in the striking department is the natural place to discuss defensive options?

You really are a cunt some times. You've ruined this thread with your complete disregard to address the issue and your insistence on spoiling it for those of us who are worried about the lack of strikers.

If Danny Wilson never gets to realise we need more strikers, I hope you accept a portion of the blame.

We should all paint the words "We need more strikers" on our bollocks then expose them in unison just before kick-off at the Plymouth game. That would get the message across.
