Reckless, I think you are looking for positives, but this is a correction to your post.
Strikers: Lost Reid and Quigley, signed only Wootton.
Quigley was back up and cover for Wootton. Reid was back up and cover for Madden. Both Reid and Quigley have been loaned out and can only be recalled during the January transfer window.
Now no back up or cover for Wootton and Madden. So substantially weaker and if either or both are suspended. We will have no recognised striker. It’s will be like rowing a boat with no oars.
