No new strikers,no new stands,no new training ground,no new home shirts,keep the faith. But at least the pot of gold DC mentioned on Thursday is still intact. We can always watch that and see if it can score goals

I had heard we were trying to sign Amadou Bakayoko from Walsall for between £150-200k. Would fit the bill if true. Kind of stacks up with them signing a striker today from Boreham Wood. Could be something in this one

water poor, really isn't it? We're gonna get absolutely gubbed tomorrow Not sure how not having signed a striker is going to affect our defence, generally the signings have been good, I think our midfield should be much stronger this season which should take some of the pressure off the defence and hopefully make some chances for Reilly. Because Harrison was also one of our best headers of the ball on corners etc? Plus are either Nichols or Reilly capable of winning the ball/holding on to it, or are we going to face constant pressure on our midfield and defence for 90 minutes. If we can play without a centre forward why did Harrison or Gaffney start every game last season. I can't understand why DC hasn't replaced Gaffney even if Harrison's replacement is taking time to resolve.

It looks like another case of the club leaving transfer dealings too late. It is disgusting really that Telford, Gaffney and Ellis have gone and only one striker has come through the door. Transfer deadline is next week. We don't have to have signed everyone by today. That ain't gonna stop 'em from having a good ol moan. Just look at the season tickets thread, moan moan moan, then with a week to go guess what appeared in the post? They'll migrate from that thread, to this one.

Could be something in this one Great he's scored an average of 5 league goals a season in what is usually a decent Walsall side!

I agree and I wish we had got at least one in but I think the signings we've made will mean that we can withstand that pressure better. I honestly don't think a strikers main job should be taking pressure off the defence, if he does, all well and good but the midfield and defence should be good enough to deal with that pressure most of the time, I believe the signings we've made will mean ours will.

Can't believe that a player who really wants to play for Bristol Rovers would drag out talks so he misses the deadline to play tomorrow unless DC had told him he wouldn't be playing tomorrow anyway. Why oh why if it is the Walsall bloke who only scores a few goals anyway could this not have been tied up earlier? Seems to me we are going to be struggling up front the whole season if this is the best DC with Waels backing can do!! I await with eager anticipation for next week but please make it Monday and not bother if it has to drag on to the deadline. Go for somebody else for godsake. We have gone from mattys near 30 goals a season to Bodins what probably would have been 20 last season and now from Ellis's 14 to possibly a bloke who has managed even less!! Oh well I suppose 50 years of being a gashead I should be used to being taken for a ride!

Maybe we're just making sure that the path to the first team is not blocked for Spruce and Kavanagh (when fit) ?
