What, some who they can moan about for lack of goals. With all of the positivity at games at present the fans have got to be crying out for a whipping boy.

Bringing an experienced forward (PL, Championship, French Leagues) in to a team that isn't struggling to score goals. He's the physical presence we supposedly need.

Aaron Wilbraham had 4 goals in 4 years before he joined Bristol City, so Fortune's goal scoring record isnt a worry to me at all.

You hate a knee jerk whine. I remember you writing the season off in the Nuneaton match thread. Calm down, dear.

Can't remember what Fortune is like I assuming he will partner Armstrong in a front 2 Will that work better than Tudgay and Armstrong ?

I don't think I did. I said the pre season results didn't inspire much optimism. We started of excellently but it looks like teams have nullified the threat of Armstrong now and with Maddison out we don't look as strong.

You were basically suicidal. Teams have nullified the threat of Armstrong. Pmsl. The only thing letting us down is Reda's haphazard defending. We are still very effective going forward without Maddison.

It's interesting reading the comparative reactions of Cov and Southend fans to Monday's result. Southend seem to think they've got their outstanding gk to thank for the result. Cov fans seem to think we didn't create anything.

Sounds about right. Avoided the forum after Monday night, I made the right decision clearly.

I agree we need to tighten up at the back. But you surely can see Armstrong hasn't been as effective in last 2 games due to being heavily marked?
I believe if we play 2 up top, whoever this new signing is, and he can challenge for the ball, it should give Armstrong more space. Which will be a huge advantage

There is a difference between nullifying and being less effective.

QPR had bids rejected over the summer. Plays for England one day tbh.
It is Fortune, I had a random text off a mate of mine at 3.30 yesterday asking if Marc Antoine Fortune had signed for us as he had just been in to a car dealership to pick up a motor and said he had.
At the time I said no and assumed he was just trying to blag some money off a car but turns out he was probably telling the truth

That would indeed be extremely random if not true.
Was a decent player at WBA, so here's hoping

Won't be a Corsa !
Hahaha just messaged him now to find out... will let you know but considering the company he works for I wouldn't be surprised if he has to trade it in mid season for a Fiesta Zetec to keep up the payments

Here we go for some tenuous links:
We previously had another former West Brom striker from French Guiana. He did alright without having a brilliant strike rate for us.
