A goal-scorer was the required component last summer and, to manager Simon Davey's credit he went out and spent £1.2m on Iain Hume, who was then taken out for the season with a fractured skull in November.
It is hoped Hume will be fit for the start of the 2009-2010 season, but another striker is desperately needed as only QPR,
Cryne told the Barnsley Chronicle:
"We all know the need for a proven striker and that will be the key recruitment policy."
Cryne also stated he hoped the fans would forgive the club for a poor season and pleaded with them to take advantage of the £20 season ticket price cut.
