Think the more pressing issue is getting two strikers in sharpish. At least one minimum before Saturday and who is ready to play. Don't want to run the risk of dropping points in one or two games that we can ill afford because we don't have anything up front. It was fortunate that Nesbitt popped up with two goals on Saturday. 

Agree with the first bit, but its not fortune that Nesbitt scored. Its what he should be doing. Henderson allowing him to push on might be a contributory factor but its what we expect of that position. Lawal does it. Nesbitt needs to be the late runner into the box, the guy who shows up unmarked and takes his chances. Hopefully we have stumbled onto the formula that finally makes him that guy. 

The reason I have to feel not too afraid without Alegria is the potential for extra bodies in the box. Rowe brings balance, him and McCann should be getting in the box. Nesbitt Morrison and Kennedy too with the protection offered by Henderson and McGinn.

That's the Jambos signed another striker…

I'd be pretty surprised if an enquiry has not been made to Hearts with regard to Henderson. I'd also be pretty surprised if numerous other clubs have not also made the exact same enquiry. He is clearly not going to make the breakthrough at Tynecastle.

If there's one player I'd like to see us bring in this month, it's him, without a doubt.

We were close to getting him at the start of the season, but think they wanted to keep him as back up. Odds are we will definitely be talking to hearts about him.

I’m sure it was talked about after the game on Saturday, I’ve not checked tbf, and I’m not saying he’s the answer but I thought Gary Oliver played Sean Dillon better than any other of our strikers he’s come up against since we came down. Dillon usually has the cigars out against us but that was the first time I can remember being ratted and struggling.

We absolutely do need another striker in, I’d have been looking for one even if Alegria had stayed, but I feel in the odd game that Oliver might have a part to play and role to fill as a striker. Big issue is of course that he just doesn’t score goals.

Totally agree, I thought Oliver was pretty good on Saturday and didn’t get the praise he deserved.

You need to wait until our resident Fife/Airdrie chums visit to put your bait in the water. They’ll be along soon enough.

They are already here. They are always here.

Agyeman from Kelty would be a good replacement for Alegria.

Don’t suppose that we will be buying anyone any time soon though.

Would be nice to get him from under Dunfermline’s noses.

I have increased my FSS FROM £10 to £20 a month. Surely they can use that to entice a few players in.😝😝

I remember he was the difference when Partick took him on loan, looks to be out of favour there right now.

He’s been injured most of season -not out of favour.  Has just returned from injury last week or so and as such has only been able to start a couple of games this season 

When he came on against Morton on Saturday he did very well and coaches were commenting on that and how they hoped his injury was now past him as he would be a big asset to the time.  I would be surprised if we were now suddenly going to release him
