Lots of agreement that we still need an additional prolific striker before the window closes. Anyone think that Berahino may not want to move out of the Midlands . ?

just read online this moring that LVG has told hernandez he can leave as he's not required. i hope someone from the club actually read these pages and if so can one them please go to the boss and say that's what we need, if he was to get game time i think he could get at least double figures

We needed Gill & Kozac on .Bacuna had bad game & the ball just wasent being held up by Gesteade . Kozac con hold the ball up, plus he's more mobile .I thought Gesteade was out of his depth today, a shame because he has all the attributes needed, just dosent know how to use them yet . Hurry up back, Jack & Adama !

did a post earlier about the game and received a few replies and saw general discussion on social media, with many fans being pleased with the result today because we "had loads of possession" or "looked in control and made chances"
yeah we had 22 shots but yet only scored goal (other goal was a PK) against the worst side in the BPL!
don't know if I'm the only one who is upset by this result but come on we should be putting sunderland to the sword and steaming over them- also seeing many fans saying that westwood is "class" and is amazing as the holding midfielder.
I mean really what does he bring to the team because his passing is hit and miss, his tackling is laughable at times and never contributes with goals or assists and he always gets in the side while veretout and others don't get a sniff. people who compare him to barry are completely deluded because barry was a different beast entirely.
don't wanna come off as being a moaner but come on guys we can't beat the worst side in the BPL at home. in need of a real ST desperately.
thoughts????

Well, apparently Sherwood has done his hamstring by kicking a stack of water bottles, so I guess he is not entirely happy with the result either. I think it will take a little time after the window closes for Sherwood to really figure out his best squad and get everyone on the same wave length. I think your point about the fans being happy with the result can be taken both ways - No, we should not be happy with a draw at a struggling side, but I think after the years of misery under Lambert where we created nothing most games, 22 shots is shock to the system. I would rather the results not go our way and have a host of chances than just get turned over every week like before. Progress will be slow but I think Sherwood can do it and the results will come.

I agree with you schmitts about Westwood.
I also agree with you Andy about the way things are going, it will come in time.
We still need a striker though, we could be waiting for Austin as a last minute steal ??
