So much negativity on this site, for God’s sake cheer up! We have a better squad than last year with some quality additions. Keep hearing “what if DCL is injured”, well what if he isn’t?
I’m not blind and am well aware that some areas need a boost but we have an excellent squad and have made a decent start to the season so stop carping and get behind the team MOT ALAW.

Yeah, but what if he is?

Why take the same risk for a second year?

We have a better starting 11 but far from an excellent squad. If you think that you're bonkers.

There's also the possibility Dcl and Nmecha both get injured.. at the same time. Then we will all hear some moaning. Unless another striker is actually bought in today.

Indeed Corky. In fact, all of DCL, Nmecha, Okafor and DJ have injury histories.

Signing a striker (s) should have always been an absolute must this window.

The 49ers, under their watch as co-owners, oversaw the 2021/22 season when both our strikers, Bamford and Rodrigo, were out injured for long periods.

We do not have a better squad. Starting 11 has been improved, but the squad is smaller. We are a key injury or 2 away from poo creek.
Yes, we've moved some dead wood out, but 21, possibly 22, senior players in a squad is not good.

There's also the possibility of Nmecha, Dcl and the new striker, if there was one, all being injured at the same time!

There's also the possibility that all of our starters get injured, a la Spuds last season. That's when we're up poo creek! All of our new signings could get injured! Everyone who has left could stay fit for the whole season! Alternatively, they also could get injured and sent back? Life is just one big "What if..?"

It's if and maybes with a bit of logic and possibility that should be applied. It isn't being.

Fair comments, lads. Why do we even bother trying to improve?

Game of opinions, chaps, but I'm not bonkers, thank you. My mum had me tested.

I'd get a second opinion, staff. Just to be sure, matey. Meds available now. No shame. ?

Need to get back on the Prozac Aus, cheer yourself up a bit

Okay. so.
What if Dcl, Nmecha, Okafor, James get injured (pessimistic) .
What if they don't (optimistic) .
Either way, I see why so many on here and on the YouTube channels know we need a striker. Would it hurt to get one on loan, maybe or just for cover with option to buy? Either, and, or. In my opinion, we still need one, and I think it would really stop a lot of supporters thinking twice about commenting on it.

I won't say moaning, because after all we are all here for our opinions and not slate anybody.
Also, I will make a bold prediction here and say we won't get owt in January either. Over the last five seasons or so our Jan window has been P*** poor.
