It's going to be very difficult for us to get any points from the rest of our games when we have no strikers whatsoever.
Manucho couldn't score in a brothel.
Daniel is injured yet again (still).
Caleb is sadly not up to this level.
Craig Fagan is injured yet again (still).
Deano is far to busy scoring and keeping goal for Oldham - and laughing his head off!
Marney couldn't hit a barn door from 2 yards.
Geovanni is good for half a game but cannot do it all on his own.
Garcia is far from comfortable at this level.
Couple these with the fact that intensive training is taking it's effect on Ian Ashbee (reported to be injured), Nicky Barmby (in the winter of his career), Boateng carrying injuries, Gardner (just returning but would hardly be match fit) and Zayatte still wondering where he is supposed to play and what to do and you would have to be blind, dumb, deaf and stupid not to realise that we are up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
We have lost King and McShane, Jimmy Bullard was the proverbial 'accident waiting to happen' (costing us 45 grand per week and no insurance whatsoever - a total of 15.3 million quid (35 and a half million dollars) over the next 4 and a half years) and we are unable to secure ANY 'quality' player whatsoever as they simply do not want to come!
Pretty grim I would say.
On the brighter side Turner and Dawson have lifted their game to a level previously thought to be beyond them whilst Matt Duke has not only triumphed over cancer but has also made a return of Lazarus-like proportions like the 'phoenix from the ashes' and resurrected his flagging career to take the Number 1 spot in goal.
This has been the best season in my 63 year support of Hull City and I am deeply grateful to all concerned in making an old man's dreams come true. We are facing a Herculean task in not letting this slip through our fingers.
