No. Apparently going to Swansea to be first choice.

We have Dan Agyei, Charlie Kelman And Sonny Perkins up front but if we can get him I would like to see Dom Ballard on loan from Southampton, he's different from the other three, and he's very quick. He ripped us a new one at home last season.

Sonny Perkins can't play up top on his own for us at this level next season.

Kelman can't do the job adequately, either.

I’ve only seen 45 minutes on the stream but Perkins ain’t anywhere near ready to lead the line.

I have way more faith in James and Sweeney than I do in Kelman.
Yeah, but kelman and perkins aren't in the starting 11
TJ has proved himself more than capable of playing L1 football. I really like Sweeneys athleticism from full back.

I wouldn't have any concerns if both started in our first game.
I’d like to see him given a run at the start of the season (but can’t see it) with an understanding that he’s going to make mistakes and have a few ropey games but knowing he isn’t going to get benched instantly like has happened in the past. His problems all stem from decision making in defence I.e. rushing in and not getting the ball. Attacking wise he gives us more than any other defender.

A rough tough young number 9 type of Alan Shearer in the making would do nicely !
A League 1 Joe Pigott if you will.
I wrote a wish list of ''A rough tough young number 9 type of Alan Shearer in the making would do nicely !''
So that description hardly fits Joe Piggot !!

I'm not sure what Wellens thinks. Maybe the two up front as someone has claimed was used last night is the way forward? Maybe he'll play in one of the wide positions?

With just CK up front, teams will now they can high press us at goal kicks to stop us playing out, forcing us to kick it long and literally hand over possession to them.

He is at Southampton in the under 21s played for them at the weekend so how is he championship bound? as you know he was at Reading last season and they are likely to send him out to a L1 club again this season after his injury, You really have a chip on your shoulder Monkey Boy you need to chill out a bit.

If Agyei gets injured again we’re fcuked . We can’t start the season with only Agyei, Kelman and Perkins as our strike force because that’s not strong enough. We definitely need another striker.

Agyei, Pigott, Drinan, Sotiriou, Graham, O'Neill, Forde, (Archibald Injured.)

Compared to...

Agyei, Kelman, Perkins, Jaiyesimi, Graham, O'Neill, (Archibald Injured.)

Definitely needs another player upfront for depth

This is exactly my point. You need a physical threat up top so teams can't go 1 for 1 and stop us playing out.

"Attacking wise he gives us more than any other defender." Never scored a goal, and minimal assists. Flatters by tearing down the line, but then checks back and lays it off to someone else.

Agyei isnt a physical presence, he's an athletic presence. Need to be a bit more nuanced with older fans, they won't understand
