So far our run has seen three draws and one win in fife cup against most reserve/under 20s side and we still can bring in loan signings like we have with Kerr and McGovern but another striker is needed i feel, Craig Sutherland was brought in this summer and was hardly had a look in whenever he did play i felt he look confused out there out of sorts weather he was out of position as naysmith used him on the wing or upfront and was never seen in games we also had Campbell that was again un-effective signing and hardly going get first team place ahead of Smith and fash's form at the start, where they been brilliant i still think we need someone who can come off the bench in attack and change the game if fash gets tired or sent off or smith gets injured.
We had people on here mention Band or McManus i think they would be decent back-up's and i know people would think returning to the club again for shagger would be a bad ideal, a step backwards but with his age now and he is currently injured at the moment McManus would use coming off the bench in a bid for fitness remember we had Riordan here at the end of last season and wasn't on fire but we gave the lad the chance to turn his carrier around and we had four strikers plus the Sociedad dude and Dickson we eventually made the play-offs after a difficult first half of the season.
I know we aren't in the same boat as last season where we had a poor start and we are second three points behind Annan, I just feel our goals have dried up of late i don't know if its me but i just think we lack that option for attacker to come on in games and give us something different, someone to add goals, go for goal striker and create chances and hold up the ball type of player i remember shagger use to run for anything when he was fit and his goals won this league for us.
I just think we have a lack of options once fash and smith from the bench upfront to change games weather we go in the loan market and bring in under 20 player in. Few weeks ago i noticed dunfermline hardly use ryan wallace maybe we could bring him in a few months i doubt it disrupt the pars as they have Moffat, Antoine-Curier, Paton and El-Balktouli in that department. Also i fear MacGregor or Murray if they cant get game time they will be next and we be short of numbers, naysmith moaned at the first half of last season players were injured and were short of numbers leading up to the petrofac cup tie at home to rangers but our goals upfront or scoring have dried up and we dont have attaker from the bench to change things and offer a option unless put on a midfielder in that position.

Ryan Wallace who scored twice on Saturday and got MOTM I doubt that's going to happen.

Hey Fat Doug,

Yes the managers looking to bring in a striker but is that likely to happen before The January window, not if it is the player mentioned from Annan in the post above.

There are a lot of games to be played before the transfer window. If it is somebody who is not linked to a club now, how long till he is match fit and how will he get fit playing back up to the present strikers.

All I am saying is another striker is imperative ASAP in case of unforeseen circumstances.

I'm sure we could get someone out on-loan before transfer window comes avaliable if players mention not fit by then we could use one of the loans and bring someone like Lewis White or Daniel Stoney at under 20s level for rangers who was out at stranraer last season on-loan or someone to cover three months or so left before then to give us options for the forthcoming matches that would be perfect time to use the loans for a striker we only have McGovern and Kerr and every club gets five to use and for us we are short of numbers it would make sense to strength that department we need and struggling for attackers by then those fit can sign and become avaliabe to agree to sign for east fife.
