I might try to get him to explain cuntflaps on the radio again

By way of telling people to watch the 2 girls 1 cup video?

Good spell this, come on!

My only worry from today's show is how much everyone is building up Charlie Austin...

Given the recent performances from our strikers I don't see how we've got anything to lose by giving Austin a run out. You can't read too much in to his non-league goals, but 4 in 3 reserve games is a good sign. If we go 2 down I reckon he'll be put on straight away, otherwise with 15 minutes to go.

Sure its a gamble but its worth it for the outside chance that we've got the next Simon Cox.

Does anyone actually know what Wilson's half time talks are like?  Will he have stripped the paint from the changing room walls with profanity (doubtful) or will there have been warm words of encouragement (maybe more likely)?

Agreed. We need some sort of gamble because we don't seem to be causing them too many problems.

Strikers warming up.

No idea He comes across very calmly in the post match interviews, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

There's a thought

We have Revell, Hutchinson and Tope on loan.  Revell doesn't score much, nor does Hutchinson, Tope spends much of his time in midfield and is month to month on loan.  Paynter and Peacock don't score freely.

So yes, permanently sign a striker by coming up with some dosh, and continue without Hutchinson, Tope, and choose one of Revell and Paynter, and hope that Austin is at least a second choice striker. Peacock is at best a second choice striker/midfielder.  Easton is not getting a fair crack, play him or transfer him.  Timlin apparently isn't first choice, either.  So a striker (even if 200,000 quid from an Afganistan club) and two first choice standard midfielders would appear to make sense.  

Our players without Douglas, and the departure of Coxy are not good enough, even if they show some bottle in the second half.

Only problem with that is,austin seems like a goal poacher rather than an out and out striker if he dont get the service then it's pointless bringing him on and we haven't exactly put any decent balls into the box as of yet.

....Razak scored goals in the reserves. He got 4 in 2!

Dont expect too much from Austin

[pauld]

In fairness to Mr. Cureton, that was exactly the problem when we got relegated under Iffy, plus of course missing the few chances set up for him.

Agree with this

Nothing wrong with a goal poacher, a decent striker needs the knack of being in the right place at the right time - its how players such as Lineker, Owen and even Cox score so many goals. Its what we've been missing, the strikers are seldom in the right place and when they are they manage to miss when scoring would be easier.

Come on, make a change or two.

edit: But not Hutch!
