Tranmere Rovers v Bristol Rovers FA Cup run thread

We seriously need a new striker. 

Perhaps he brought them on as they are the only strikers he's got, or am I'm missing something?

Think we had two game changers on the bench (Della-Verde and Harrison) but did not use them to their full potential. On the other hand not being in the cup is not too big a deal for me. See what happens on Tuesday. 

Really is bizarre how non scoring strikers are selected.White obviously not considered and in fairness to DC we have no alternatives in the current squad but then it's his squad so he makes the decisions even though our forwards are seemingly incapable of finding the net.Marcus your'e on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

put your money on a home win

he may be suggesting that we could try something different, like Harrison and White.

Welcome to the ''We Need A New Striker Club,'' milesy. But my serious question to you is, what took you so long to arrive at that conclusion? At the risk of repeating myself/ourselves, we have needed a new striker for several seasons now.  That fact alone is the major reason that we were relegated from the Football League, surely?

And still we dither and prevaricate, whilst continually making excuses as to why we cannot attract the services of a seasoned and competent goalscorer. And of course any chances of attracting other decent players is clearly diminished, because who on earth would want to associate themselves with such a lacklustre outfit as ours? It seems like a continuing downward spiral to me. But there is money available within the budget we are continually told by both the manager and chairman, and has been available to the past three managers at least, but of all the players that could be available to us we have attracted virtually nobody of any note (no disrespect intended to any of our present strikeforce).

But interestingly we have signed several players that have not only proved to be a complete and utter waste of money (due to injury and lack of application), but we have been forced to pay them even more money to go away and play for some other club. I don't want to re-visit our last relegation, but it was a comedy of errors surely?

It really is enough to reduce a grown man to tears, either that or I should continue to be patient.

Brunt now been on the pitch 9 hours without a goal, and by the sounds of it today and from the reports from York he's not even looked like scoring. Hopefully someone at the club will see sense and look to settle up his contract because he is not giving value for money for what we are paying him.

I have it on good authority (from the manager and chairman's public utterances), that there is no need for anyone to put their hand in their pocket, because there is money within this years budget still available to be used by the manager in the transfer market.

Having said that I'm not altogether surprised, taking into account the trimming of the budget by releasing the majority of last years big earners, and replacing them with lesser earners on mostly shorter contracts. Then there is the continuing good attendances at home matches, which equates to not much reduction in income. I'm quite certain that there are more factors involved that I haven't accounted for (like the parachute payment?), but I'm quite confident that someone will remind me.
