Definitely do - once Hemed goes in the summer alongside what looks like Taylor. We have 1 senior striker in Bonne.
We can’t have a squad of 35 to cover the players going in the summer. I agree we will need to replace people like Cullen and Taylor in the summer but we don’t need 7 odd strikers now just because a couple might not be here next season.
Fixed it for you, no guarantee that Taylor will leave... Especially now Bowyer is tied down

True. My point being Bowyer will probably know. The time to replace those players is if/when they leave, not now. Certainly don’t need another 2 strikers when we have Taylor, Bonne and Hemed aswell as Green, Davison and Aneke.
Although it will cost some serious money, Getting Lyle on a decent contract and managing to secure the services of Cullen permanently would go largely under the media radar I think, largely because they are already here.
Part of me thinks/hopes that ESI have money but are trying to avoid the circus that it generates when you spend it.
I think the pair of them would be very sound investments.

Green isn't a pure striker, Davison really should be learning his trade at a lower level while Aneke isn't a pure striker either and made of glass
Bonne is currently injured, no guarantee he'll be back for Barnsley and Stoke. Personally I'm not convinced by Hemed anyway, he was a last minute signing from when we were scraping around in the bargain bin, he'll do a job but is a massive step down from Lyle

agree with pretty much all of that but if we keep Lyle I still don't think we need to sign more than 1 striker. The summer could see a lot of change in that area however.
We definitely need one decent striker and one decent box to box midfielder, and do think we missed a trick in not bringing in another loan player earlier in the month.

Yeah I think Taylor and Bonne can be a good partnership. Chuck in a decent third option, Green's pace and Hemed and it looks capable of winning games.
We need two midfielders, Gallagher certainly needs to be replaced. I think we will sign a midfielder on loan and two permanents, I hope we stretch to a CB too.
We definitely need one decent striker and one decent box to box midfielder, and do think we missed a trick in not bringing in another loan player earlier in the month.
In addition, I also think we would benefit signing a commanding '1st ball' CB. Especially one that had quicker feet than Pearce and didn't cause us to defend such a deep line.
Having said that, Pearce has attributes which could prove valuable in a relegation scrap.
As others have said, combine Sarr and Pearce and you'd have an excellent player. As it is, Sarr's defensive "instinct" sometimes goes missing, while Pearce can be a bit "lumbering" at this level now.
We do miss Bauer, he was better than any of our current CBs

We certainly miss Bauer but i'd say Lockyer definitely gives Bauer a run for his money.

Nowhere near as dominant in the air though, you do need someone taller alongside him

Lockyer is better than Bauer. Thought Pearce done really well last night. We went to sleep on a corner again just after half time but got away with it.

Had a bet with someone last night that Williams will score for us before Hemed. Saying that i think Hemed looked alot more interested last night and i would like to see Taylor and Hemed start together against Barnsley. Probably lose my bet but not bothered.
Strikers are expensive from the English leagues. I would love Toney, but North of the border Sam Cosgrove or Laurence Shankland maybe much better value.
Wonder if Maddison is more of a possibility now that LB has signed. It was said that MM came away from his meeting with LB buzzing (if true).
You can’t ignore someone with his goals and assists record.
I still think he was the one asking for the extra £1k
Just the way Peterborough have dropped him saying that Maddison is playing silly buggers after having a reasonable offer from us at the very least
Unless of course the real reason is they've dropped him for the same reasons we dropped Shelvey - i.e. they know he's pretty much gone and dont want to risk an injury messing up their incoming transfer fee... Of course to admit that could result in their own fan backlash
I’m hoping that some of our targets watched the game last night and saw the fight and spirit and thought to themselves that they could fit in and help us improve. Unfortunately, modern footballers are just as likely to watch themselves on u-tube rather than other teams games

Hemed is going to need a supply if he's going to score and he got zero supply last night. The man who was most likely to provide for him, was the man who replaced him.
Against Barnsley, we could well see Taylor and Hemed together. They both work hard, so should be able to stop Barnsley playing out from the back too much. The decision could also be whether to start with Williams and keep Doughty on the bench for a late burst (or visa-versa).

Early in the season Bows was alternating williams and Oz, with one coming off the bench after 60 mins and vice versa .

BTW in case you're wondering about the exact pronunciation I'm sure you'll find this useful:
Pedro Chirivella Burgos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo tʃiɾiˈβeʎa] )
