Can we all please stop writing off Adam Armstrong as 'just an 18 year old'. The kid is the business.
Let's hope tomorrow brings a striker.
Or Armstrong/Tudgay can pull a couple of goals out the bag...
Based on what? Fair enough we've all seen Maddison, Swanson, JOB and Tudgay last season but for all we know Armstrong and Lamieras could score over 20 just between the two of them. Its a weak area we all acknowledge but it will only be for 3 or 4 games and there is still enough there to score a few goals and sneak a couple of wins in that time.
Although a loan will jump ship after a season regardless, as their parent club decides to either recall them or sell them if they do well... and not even with the compensation of a transfer fee.
Mowbray's not only worked with him before, but thought enough of him to play him at 16. Sounds like a decent signing from that alone.
They may well do, but at present both are unproven and neither have scored a senior goal.

All players are unproven at one point or another, I still haven't forgot the mocking of Callum Wilson on here heading into the sixfields season. Proven/unproven doesn't mean a lot its talent that matters and they have it.

Yea after Pressley initally blew the budget for strikers on Miller, Tudgay and Mcquoid and then realised they were crap and panicked and thus signed more crap, then signed more strikers in the hope one would be good.Let's not pretend it's a black & white, wait for later and you get better. Waiting last season, after all, got us an unfit Jackson, and Nouble...
He's obviously not going for forward players... He doesn't know what he's doing does he.
It does however mean it would be unwise to expect rather than hope.
Hoped Wilson would succeed ever since I saw him in the youth team. Then again, I also hoped Cameron and Walker would do it as they looked the business too.
Will be good to see Cameron against bury this season, I know he had a very good season last season, and I quite liked the lad.
What ever happened to Curtis Wynter? He looked good in that FA Cup game? Didn't he go to Hoddles academy in Spain for a bit? And Giddings, he was the business before his injuries.

In a general sense, it's symptomatic of a poorly run club to depend on loans as the problem is, come six months or a year's time you have to replace them, and not even with the compensation of a transfer fee. One could see it as evidence of the desperation for instant success that the players haven't been scouted and signed beforehand, and instead we scrabble around and hope to get lucky.
We might, we might get the blip, but we're playing the law of averages poorly.
I was going to write and complain that it's not a forward BUT I think it's a case of TM planning on bringing 4 or 5 people in and that this deal was completed before the other deals. TM is not stupid. He knows what we need and what we lack. All I can say is I think we will be impressed when the forwards sign (maybe?)

Was It him who was doing quite well at Shrewsbury?
How much do you think we've spent up to this point Stu?
I don't think we're going to be anywhere near this oft quoted £2.5M this season.
Where did this figure Initiate from?
All the people moaning he's not a striker are going to look pretty silly tomorrow if we bring a striker in
I'll worry if we have no one in by Sept 1st but until then I'm willing to give TM the benefit of the doubt.
I think TM has earned at bit of trust.
