With Godden out up to 4 months and 2 months until the January window could signing a free agent be a possibility ?

Not a free agent but perhaps SISU can spare enough moolah to prise Roy O'Donovan back from New Zealand.

If they 'secure that asset' on a three year deal we'll (probably) get at least one goal out of him.

I thought free agents could be signed at any time?

But who is available and wouldn’t take 2-3 months to get up to speed?

A change of formation to 442 will solve things till January at least.
We’ve still got Hiwula, Bakayoko and Biamou to compete for the front 2 positions. (Yes I know they are all shite) but at least we will have 2 strikers in the box instead of 1.
What we really need is Calum Wilson to move for 70 million in January to allow us to buy another striker for the push for the playoffs. (Automatic promotion is already out of the question)

Got to say it's disappointing that you so crassly write players off (Max and Baka) who have performed so well for us over the last couple of games. We really do have some morons in our fan base. On the other hand kudos to those such as Rummermill who have admitted that Max has proved them wrong today.

Exactly and why 4-4-2 suits our current available players vs. 3-5-2?

So these 2 “shite” forwards who have scored 3 goals in the last 1 1/2 matches can’t do it? Have you actually been at the last two matches? They have run the opponents defences ragged.

Baka really impressed me at MK. Led the line very well and worked his socks off. Couldn’t see properly as I was up the other end, but looked like he should’ve done better with a header, but he was getting in good positions. If he plays like that every game I’d be ok with that.

Still don’t get people creaming their pants over Godden yet saying the rest are shite. Unless it’s because the other three are “lazy”

Eh?

You are aware we played two up front yesterday right?

352 is about the only formation we can play at the moment with current injuries.

Gotta trust the two with the shirt atm. Hiwula did score 3 in 3 last Xmas when playing up front. Let's not write him off yet even though he's been toss this season.

Bony's hardly played over the last 3 seasons. We've been there a few times before, and it's never worked out.

and we've taken 4 points against two teams who were/are above us in the league, why on earth are people calling for a change of formation?

Suggesting 4-4-2 and dismissing our 3 strikers completely.

Bit early to be pissed isn’t it?

I don’t think we need one given we have a few on our books and Bremang to step up too but... Is Ross McCormack still knocking about? Excepting for him costing a fortune, being unfit and having a supposed bad attitude - he might be the most likely of the limited numbers out there

Just poking fun. Years old meme on here that fans only call black players lazy.

I genuinely don’t get why Godden gets the response he does in comparison to the rest though. I don’t think he’s done much to suggest he’s a 20 a season striker and his awareness is terrible. I think we’ve got four decent L1 strikers who will all blow hot and cold but all are good for 15ish goals a season.
