My question is this...
If we know players like Barnes are not the future then why are we not integrating some of the U21 forwards into the match day squad.
So now we have zero real strikers for Saturday and will probably lose Borja for an extended period.
How has this situation been allowed to happen?
I know it's not allowed on this board to criticize Hoff or Knapper and point out they have zero experience at this level.
Every team has injuries. Most have 3-4 strikers and some youth players who can give them cover off the bench.
We started the season light on strikers and we knew Sarge had some injury issues.
This isn't Monday Morning quarter backing.
