The Rapids desperately need a top notch striker to not only back up but challenge both Conor and Omar. Right now, the two don't have that challenge because Schunk and Richardson are not at that level for many reasons. Gary Smith will want to get a guy in who will expect to be playing in every game.Nick Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530941554925335967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-77869249895508011732009-05-16T11:30:00.000-06:002009-05-16T11:30:00.000-06:00Thanks for the post Nick...was wondering if we los...Thanks for the post Nick...was wondering if we lost you!<br /><br />Here's one for you - Omar started off this season very strongly but seems to have tapered off a bit the last 2-3 matches. With Smith seeking a new striker this summer, is Omar at risk of losing his starting spot beside Casey? Personally, I think Omar has just hit a rough patch and will push through for his best season yet but I wonder if his small drop in form has added pressure to Gary to find another striker soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
