Out of all the new strikers we've bought, Roofe should start

[JWAC 2,245]

That's how poor our summer signings have been.

Clinging on to the hope a permanently injured but talented striker is the best we've got. We've got so many players we're still waiting to "gell" but the reality is we (or Beale) have bought a whole lot of shite

Of course he should

Absolutely streets ahead of the rest - although Danilo and Lammers when they came on did far more than Dessers did

[Gascoigne's Flute 258]

Best striker at the club when fit

[gmcf 34,302]

Should definitely start on Sunday . 

[Blue72 1,102]

Agree but realistically if he hadn’t had such a bad injury record he’d been wait out of our price bracket 

[Badger 8,739]

At this point in time we need Roofe to be fit for the season.

I just want to know how fucking bad Danilo is that Dessers is still starting every game

[steven33jackie 1,929]

Hoping whatever operation Roofe had last year has got to the root cause of all the injury problems he has had. If he stays fit he will be our top scorer.

Trying not to judge him, but I think Danilo looks poor so far. Not especially quick, not strong, not got much in the way of trickery. Don't really know what he excels at. Hopefully just the lack of games/new country/whatever other excuse.

Strikers need service. We created next to nothing tonight.

Agreed. We have saw less of him than Dessers so he has looked less pish than him !

You look at Dessers and De Jong and they're in the team to do similar jobs but one leads the line far better than the other.

We didn't give Dessers much to work with in either game but, we've fired the ball across their six yard box in both ties and on both occasions he's on his heels and that is the type of striker I'm not interested in.

I don’t ever despise or hate any of our players (other than that cunt Black and maybe O’Halloran) but I’m genuinely fast learning to hate Dessers. He offers fuck anll and blames the other players when he can’t control the ball.

Well his hair transplant one doesn’t seem to have worked! Fingers crossed for the other one

That's a big "if" unfortunately. I fully expect him to pick up a mystery knock soon and miss a chunk of the season and that Tavernier will finish as our top scorer again with about 15 goals.

Got to start on Sunday for me. Sad times

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 733]

Danilo is brutal

Dessers could be decent but unsure he’s suited to our style

Sima is meh

Lammers is not a striker

[MillerTimeDavie 123]

Roofe is our best striker and he's made of teacakes

Sad indictment of where we are as a club. A shambles.
