A Cannon or Stansfield with that attack round them scores double digits minimum.

We won't be seeing any more of Baker thankfully. Sure?

Ryan Mmaee, coming back from a bad injury, in a cup game. He's not going to run around none stop all game.
I thought he did well, good link up play and finish for his goal.
When he gets up to match fitness and has runners around him I could see him having a really good season. I would take a good finisher like Mmaee all day over a player that just runs around for the sake of it like Ennis.

Great finish tonight, but so weak in the challenge and so lacking in effort. If we can cut our losses, we simply have to move him on. If he scores goals who gives a fuck🤷♂️🔴⚪️ Tbf it was on a plate for him. Otherwise he was hardly noticeable tonight

The club need to be careful what kind of striker they bring in IMO. I know Mmaee isn't everyone's cup of tea but his natural game is to pull deep and link play.
The spaces he pulls into creates space for wide forwards like Manhoef and Koumas.
The issue last season for me wasn't so much his lack of goals but the fact we didn't have a player either side of him to take advantage of the space he creates. Junho was adapting and Leris wasn't that type of player, nor was Haks.
I know the club have said they want a pacey option but I think we need a player that pulls deep like Mmaee but maybe one that is more physical to rotate with him against certain teams.
My worry with a pace option is stifling the likes of Koumas and Manhoef by taking the space they need and want.
We'll see I suppose.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-stoke-city-live-stream-9510707It's a good time to bump into your chairman and ask for a favour or two before deadline day on Friday?Schumacher: He knows. John and Jon Walters and the recruitment team know what we're trying to do. I'm still on at them every day! I still think that we need to strengthen the squad and they understand that too. We're all on the same page. We want to make ourselves better and competitive in this league because it's so hard week in, week out. We have to make sure we are ready to compete. Lewis Baker, Jordan Thompson, Daniel Johnson not around tonight when they might have been expected to have been involved?Schumacher: Jordan Thompson has had a little niggle so he wasn't available. DJ and Bakes and Andre Vidigal left out of the squad. Is anything going on in the transfer market with them?Schumacher: Not currently but we picked this squad for a reason and they are ok but they weren't picked tonight.

It was a great finish by Mmaee tonight but his mobility was an issue. I’ll put some of that down to fitness but he just has to be more mobile. For me we need a good all rounder. Someone who‘s strong, energetic and weighs in with 10+ goals a season. Get someone like that and we’ll be cooking especially with Gallagher still to come in and support the squad. We definately need another no. 8 too. Thought Moran was superb but we need another player with similar attributes like Cundle to share the workload. So for me we need RB - Someone who can compete with Junior who I thought was far better tonight. CM - We simply have to go for Billing from Bournemouth. AM - Cundle. Lose Moran and we lose our plan. STR - A good all rounder

I would take a good finisher like Mmaee all day over a player that just runs around for the sake of it like Ennis. For me it’s clear as day that he’s technically very good. Weeks behind the rest of the squad due to not having a pre-season. Like others, once he’s up to speed I think he could be perfect with the likes of Bae, Million and Koumas around him.

I see He's not a complete rookie but not played at this level much so there is a risk there I'd prefer him than sign any old Championship striker though
