I've just spotted Dai Thomas, could he help you Mr Jones???
One game in and there's a predictable air of despair from fans and desparation by club in their hunt for a striker ... at the price they're willing to pay which appears to be very little!
With no goals against Stoke, Feeney and MacLean way too lightweight although the latter shows more promise despite his penalty miss, Fowler injured (and some wondering if he'll ever produce much), Thommo pretty much in the same category and Corporal Jones deciding he's rather have no sub striker at all than employ Matt Green or Jason Byrne, Cardiff City have had their wake up call and decided they'd better crack on with bringing someone in.
They still same to be biding their time for Rowan Vine - not in Birmingham's weekend squad - but at their price only. That's a deal unlikely to happen before transfer deadline day, if at all. So Dave Jones remarks how the market is inflated - his sale of Chops may have created that - he's spoken to every club and manager going and current target is Newcastle's teenage striker Carroll who had 7 games in last season's Premiership and scored against Juventus pre-season on loan with suggestions that talks have started..
Do you get the same unconvincing feeling I have? None of this suggests instills confidence and suggests we are hell bent on a promotion challenge?
it certainly dumbs down the claims of Jones and Ridders that we have a bigger, better, stronger squad than last season. As always, actions speak louder than words and, right now, the action is underwhelming.
Hoping for a better week ahead ...
