Key issue - isolation of Solanke against two big, classy CBs. We need a second striker to distract defenders and to give Dom some space. Kluivert anonymous today and too often the ball wouldn’t stick upfront. Surely it’s goodbye to Moore, who’s way off the pace in the PL. Liked Zab’s showing …
Good news if correct - a midfielder who scores plenty. Sky goals reel is impressive:

Can’t recall such gloom and desperation on an opposition forum … QPR supporters predicting wipeout: https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/forum/305030/ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherries-bomb-us-out-the-cup--match-thread/#51
Solanke’s injury at Spurs a timely warning - striker a transfer priority right now, especially in view of Semenyo’s clumsy performance. Antoine can be lethal - and equally loose and unfocused. Hoping for better in the window.
Thoughts:
1. Scott first choice ahead of Kluivert. With Cook back, Scott can at last play the advanced role.
2. Striker needed: worrying when Solanke down and Semenyo (poor control today) the sub upfront. Window opens in a few hours …Moore out - and recruit.
