Quoted from Southernboy
No rush to get another striker surely?


That depends on those at the club staying injury/suspension free and in form. I think we could do with another front player.

It is always better to strengthen from a strong position than a weak one.

In some ways our recent results might have made us more attractive to a good striker who will improve the team. If you are a player needing to prove himself then where better than a club creating plenty of chances for you to finish?

Plus as others have mentioned, we only really have 3 strikers at the moment, just because Arnold can play there it doesn't mean he's going to be any good at it. Also if we are going to continue playing 4312 then Pittman may be needed to drop back into the Neilson role, Pittman himself may get injured - 2 of our strikers get injured and we are struggling further.

If there's a top quality striker available, then go get him.

Problem is a top quality striker is likely to be playing for his club. Others not getting a game may not want to come here and sit on the bench. Tricky one this. A loan deal as and when we need one may be the best option. Loan period opens again in a couple if weeks time I think.

I see Ryan Bird hasn't been able to get into the Portsmouth squad the past few games! Worth a call?

Three players to cover 2 positions just isn't enough. With LJL suspended next game, we're left with Pittman and Hannah and, if they don't work out together or one gets injured, we won't have any other striking options on the bench (other than possibly, Arnold).

At a push, I reckon Neilson could play up front as well, but I think we really need another 'big' striker for when LJL is injured/suspended/out of form. Last season Cook was available as this second option, but we've not replaced him.

Fair points Ginny and Maringer but I didn't except Lenny to make himself unavailable quite so quickly!
