don't we need a 'big guy' up top to win the headers from long clearances and hold the ball up then bring others into play ? At the moment 90% of these are gobbled up by opposing defenders and within seconds we're back defending again ? We've just signed a 6'3 striker Now all we have to do is get or have support for him quickly and everytime. Our best attacking play has been 3 or 4 running forward supporting the ball and passing forward quickly. Hope we dont go back to the hopeful punt and struggle to support it from very deep ?

Hopefully we can get a big 6'3 striker in this window!

Any chance of us signing a big striker? I'm thinking a minimum of 6'3

Obafemi we need to lower our expectations a little, him Richie & Moore are not players that will be coming to HTAFC this window. Look more at CJ hamilton, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Shola Shoretire, Kobei Moore, etc CJ Hamilton - meh Corey Blackett-Taylor - yes please Kobei Moore - be gobsmacked if he’s ready for a championship loan yet Shoretire - didn’t light up League 1 with Bolton last season That’s basically where I’d be at

I'd be looking at.
Reuell Walters - wing back at Arsenal, can play left and right.
Emran Soglo - Marseille, right winger, Eng u20 International.
Clum Marshall - West Ham, 18 goals in the U21 1st division.
Joe Hugill - Man Utd- huge potential, striker.

There's a few after the West Ham lad, always tricky with lads scoring lots of goals at that level. Who was the lad Sheff United paid a fortune for from Liverpool? Hardly kicked a ball after that move.

Don’t think we need another striker, would be looking at a winger and ball playing midfielder

In fact I think we're still 3, possibly 4, shy of a competitive squad that can last the remainder of the season. I will speculate that the fact Edwards is still here, despite the emergence of Turton and Spencer, means that we are looking for an alternative before we send him back.

We’ve literally just bought a 6 foot 3 striker! 6' 3" ? well, who knew..but is 6' 3" 'big' any more ?...

We’ve literally just bought a 6 foot 3 striker! 6' 3" ? well, who knew..but is 6' 3" 'big' any more ?... He looked big enough when he came on on Sunday.Wouldn’t think he’s your old school type target man but hardly anyone is these days.He’s a fair presence and was mentioned a few times when he signed that his link up play is decent. Further up the pitch from a fair few clips I saw he’s also pretty good at attacking crosses that go into the box.

Fair enough, I hadn't realised he was 6'3", hopefully he can jump too..given the size of CB's these days. As for 'old school', I get that but we do seem to use that long ball down the middle more often recently...maybe it's a last resort when nobody is coming to receive a pass from the back, or when we're under pressure. Let's hope it works out for him, and us..

Seem to be trying to wean ourselves off that long ball that we seemed to be only able to do for a while.been a bit more possession heavy(with obvious exceptions against Leicester and city) so hopefully we can find his feet,even if it’s with a longer type pass.

My worry is Moore's previous teams and this new cf, seems to point the way for a very direct style of football. Moore makes out to be a lets play kinda team, but if you watch his previous teams they were very direct teams with a "big cf" a must. Granted Bojan looks a bit more than "get it to him" kinda player, seems decent on the deck aswell.

Yeh I think he’s more technical isn’t he.team he was playing for won’t be direct.I didn’t see much of Wednesday under him but since he’s been here I think he’s tried to have them pass the ball initially only to be completely found out…went to pure muck ball until started getting players back and then since I’d say Bristol at home looked to pass the ball and have more possession…progression from there would be creating more chances from having increased possession.if we can’t progress to that then we are really going to struggle.let’s hope few more additions and can start to look a better outfit.

We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket with just one new striker. That's so westie-esque..
