Smile 26,603 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This was always going to be the Problem if Waghorn got injured, was mentioned so may times, proper investment in this window would have alleviated the problem. The other players will just have to step up now, but the board should have realised this and not half arsed it this window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Warburton didn't identify a centre forward as a target, why is this being blamed on the board? Of the players we were linked with, there was nothing concrete suggesting the gaffer wanted a centre forward! But of course its the boards fault.

If he didn't he should have as with all the chances wasted it was an obvious weak point. It's only Warburton that's keeping this board in. They should know that.

Cobham 1,569 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I would be tempted to use O'Halloran as a CF and play King and McKay wide and use Miller as one of the 60 minute subs. Clark never fills me with confidence and I think O'Halloran's physique would be suited to being CF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not good. Im sure with King and Ohallaren coming in we'll be ok. Relying on Miller a lot now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not good at all that. Need the rest of our attackers to step up now. Waggys not been at it the last few weeks, but this still makes our run in much tougher. Hopefully makes it back for Hibs at Easter road.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,781 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not ideal but I'd rather it was six weeks than six months and that's what I was worried it would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,057 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The only concern would possibly be our cup tie against Dundee, other than that I would expect we have enough options at our disposal. On the MOH theory I'm sure the gaffer said he wanted him as he was a player who can play in any of the front 3 positions so if he is asked to play through the middle I'm sure he won't let us down.

Not everybody defence lack the pace we have at the back, and its just another player pushed into a position. This should have been tackled in the window but as usual we blunder on.

Marky. 6,926 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This was the fear of the 'lean' squad. Clark, time to step it up, O'Halloran, King and Forrester to get a lot of minutes too now. We should be ok, but it doesn't help things anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
