If our play style this season is to be like it was at Cardiff (and I hope it is), the Martin is simply not the answer. |  | | |

Play Armstrong and Smyth up top and cause chaos I suppose? Can add SDM to the midfield and try to hassle Ipswich as best we can. |  |

Armstrong up front with Chair and Willock behind him, if Willock not around play Colback in a 3 man midfield
Young kolli to come on the last half an hour |  | | |

We need to do something and quickly! ... If Kelman has gone to Orient it leaves us with Armstrong and Smyth as our fit strikers.
BTW - the Ipswich game is 52 hours away. | | | |

No idea, you'd hope Colback is by now.
No idea if Willock is injured, being sold, sulking, not in favour or something else | | | |

One thing I do know....he is our best player, although that carries no weight apparently. | | | |

Or, someone up there is a QPR supporter and saying ‘im throwing you another injury in a critical position whilst the transfer window is still open, for crying out loud, do something about it whilst you still can’ |  | | |

Another striker who is also a free agent, and who has strong connections with Ainsworth, is Uche Ikpeazu. Warnock signed him when he was Boro manager but Wilder didn't rate him when he came in.

I am not recommending we sign him, by the way, I am just throwing some info I stumbled across into the mix. |  |

His career stats aren’t that great though.Played 262 and only scored 47 goals at a rate of 1 goal every 5 1/2 games.How does that compare with the best on earth? |  | | |

Taylor Richards is carrying the weight for him apparently. |  | | |

It only carries any weight if a) he's playing and b) he's performing somewhere near his capabilities. Sadly, he's doing neither at the moment and hasn't been for some time so he's not the best player, he's a passenger.
If there's anyway he can change that for Saturday, that would be great. | | | |

Just our fuc in luck that we lose Dykes 3 games in.
Like Flavio Briatore said "we have a disease", he ain't wrong.
On the plus side I always said once Sinclair Armstrong got his first goal the gloves would be off.
He will be bouncing about like trigger off Winnie the poo now and really think he will cause some damage.
As for strikers I reckon we need 2 not one.
Getting the right ones in on loan will be difficult but we live in hope.
As for the bookies odds of 13/5 about a QPR win is too big for me and I will be having a punt at them odds for us to get the win.
Just a gut feeling we will turn up Saturday and put it on them.
Ipswich will fill the whole away end no doubt so should be a great atmosphere ! [Post edited 17 Aug 2023 16:34]

Really looking forward to being in the doom loop of not being told what's wrong or how long he's going to be out for with another first teamer. |  | | |

I'd like to see the Illy and Willy duo playing behind Armstrong on Saturday. If rumours about Chair to Leicester are true, there won't be many more opportunities for them to do their street footie stuff together. |  | | |

Didn’t he get injured while training?Just let him sit in a chair watching the others train. | | | |

Tbf, in this instance mate, this is the right call. You don’t want very club knowing he’s out for months and we’re in desperate need of a forward at this point in the window. Downplay it, keep quiet and get the signings done (loan or perm if Chair goes). If he tells everyone we currently have 1 career goal Armstrong and debutant Kolli as our strike force options we’ll pay hugely over the odds to get anyone. |  | | |

Nothing to do with luck . Just really poor recruitment over the last few years. |  |

Does football subterfuge really reach these kind of levels?
Not hard for any club to find out the truth to an injury, surely. |  |

If you don’t tell anyone Antti, I’m not sure how they find out. The agent and player will be under confidentiality agreements as part of his contract of employment, to which the agent, as an affiliate, will likely be bound. And agents don’t tend to want to go telling anyone their player is knackered.
Besides if we offer for someone now, are that club really going to make an effort to understand the injury diagnosis of one of our players which isn’t public? It’s a lot of effort to go to, especially in the busy day to day towards the end of the window during the season.
If we publicise it, it’s no effort at all.
Common sense. | | | |
