New striker

[Doore]

fair point Batch.  what about the midfield though?  I'm still convinced another central player is necessary.  Whalley won't manage too many games, Gurney has never convinced me in there, ditto CCP.  Holgate has been used there in the two friendlies, but this is surely just through necessity.

I am going to be slated but I am not 100% convinced RoboCock can provide all the goals we need to be pushing for promotion. I could be wrong though, I usually am!

I agree, unfortunately. It seems whenever we get our hopes up for something it falls to peices. Having said that, both are looking extremely sharp in pre season and are linking up nicely. I am now beginning to think they could be a real force next season, not as prolific as Sammy and Mooney, but enough for us to get somewhere next season.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

not as prolific as Sammy and Mooney

Why not?

[DiV]

we have enough strikers....

Peacock and Roberts will deliver....Jutkiewicz is ample enough back up, so what hes young......he is fucking good....

I still think we need another keeper, central defender, central midfielder and right winger

I just can't see BOTH of Peacock and Roberts hitting 20. I'd be happy if both got 15 tbh.

[Batch]

Jutkiewicz is ample enough back up, so what hes young......he is fucking good....

It's not about age it is about where he is at right now in terms of development.  I think he could turn out to be superb, but I think he needs more time to adjust to first team football. If today he were a 25 year old trialist I wouldn't sign him.

Watch him bang in 15 goals this season now

A keeper and a central defender would be higher on the shopping list for me. If we can't sign a forward we have the tall guy to try out up front for now.

i think people have to realise that lukas has been given this professional contract for a reason, wise obviously think he can do a job in the long term and i'm sure he'll be involved throughout the season.

as such, we've got the two senior strikers and two youngsters/backup strikers who will provide competition for the starting slots. they'll be hungry and eager to improve, despite the talk of fola being lazy and unwilling to work hard i've seen no evidence of that in both friendlies.

that said, i would like to see us sign brownlie. he looks like a lethal finisher and with good service, he'll do well.

[Piemonte]

I think Brownlie is decent too, trouble is if he signs that relegates Lucas to 5th choice striker and is unlikley to play barring an injury crisis or the odd LDV game.

Wise said:

“Lukas has impressed me, he’s impressed me a lot. I like him. He’s a young boy but he’s a man.

“He is an important part of my squad. He’s strong, aggressive and a good finisher.

“He’s one for the future. We don’t want to put too much pressure on him.

“I’m sure he’ll play a part in this season and hopefully get us a few goals.

“If he gets in there, gets his chance and scores goals, he’s capable of staying in there.”

 Looks like Wise realises his potential and should give him his chance sooner rather than late.

Jutkiewicz was thrown into the deep end at the tail end of the season and was given an impossible task.

I felt that he bossed the Bristol City defence around really well at Ashton Gate, and the City defenders struggled... Put a veteran up there with him and I think he'll be great in League Two.
