With saddi now gone zohore and ward for the whole season I don't think will be enough.
We don't even have cover for them at the moment so I'm hoping he brings another striker in.

I'd be happy for a loan signing but zohore and ward only having 2 strikers for the season doesn't seem enough imo

Warnock says he's happy with his squad and has no plans to bring anyone else in (unless the club gets an offer they can't refuse for a first team player). Of course he could be playing the media, agents and other clubs. He's been around the block so many times that 'football politics' is second nature.
On paper we have 6 forwards (according to the club website): Ken Zohore, Jamie Ward, Fred Guonongbe, Rhys Heeley, Ibrahim Meite and Lee Tomlin (with Hoilett and Pilkington able to fill in as a second striker at a stretch). Meite and Heeley are squad players at best, unless they develop very quickly, and Fred is a complete mystery. He might become the next Zohore, but is more likely to be the next Saadi.
Looking at that lot I can see major problems if we get a few injuries or suspensions. I hope Warnock does bring in another striker, even if only a loan. A Tammy Abraham type loan would be excellent. I imagine a loan fee could be afforded, but any player like that would not come to sit on the bench.
