I think it's more because we've missed out on targets. Still think he will bring one in though.Maybe the reason we've not bought another striker in is Robins sees Ponticelli playing a decent part in the season.
And who is to say he is not ready now?apart from a couple of friendly's no one has given him a chance. Younger footballers have been thrown in the deep end and flourished!We can't afford to rely on Ponticelli no matter how much promise he has.
We need to find the right striker. Then let Ponticelli develop at his own pace.

That's what was said about Rooney!If he is ready he will keep the shirt. But we can't assume. Young players can lose confidence easily. It is a big step up no matter how well he is doing in the U23 and a season can be a long long time. We would be foolish to rely solely on him delivering the goods. But that doesn't mean he cant.

He's what? 4th or 5th choice striker (Biamou, Beavon, McNulty and Kwame all arguably ahead of him) in a team that really only plays one up front. We are hardly relying on him. But he's obviously a kid full off confidence and if we end up playing some good attacking football that will create chances I don't see the harm in throwing him in now and again.
To be fair what I have seen of Kwame so far I would put Ponticelli in front of him and I have only seen him play for about 15 minutes, thats not to say he looks so much better than Thomas but Thomas looks so much shitter than I rememberHe's what? 4th or 5th choice striker (Biamou, Beavon, McNulty and Kwame all arguably ahead of him) in a team that really only plays one up front.

We need a striker we know can score. And if he can bring it on into the first team we would have two that can score goals. What is the problem with that?And who is to say he is not ready now?apart from a couple of friendly's no one has given him a chance.

Exactly. What do we do if we get to September and think, oh dear he's not ready yet. Need a proven scorer and if Ponticelli is ready we will have 2 strikers who can bang in the goals, if he's not then we have a safety net.We need a striker we know can score.

And if he isn't ready he has someone to learn from. Even if he is ready he will have a lot to learn.Exactly. What do we do if we get to September and think, oh dear he's not ready yet.
