This recent lack of defeats looks decent but we’ve only played 1 top half team. We’re not good against the better teams and this next couple months will show if Slade has improved us since the start of the season.

Yes and No! makes no difference to my point though, goals were scored by Collins defender and Dembele, not seen as one of the two front strikers.


Not many strikers bagged a lot of goals under Buckley but that seemed to work out well.

That's true. Think it's a bit too early thinking about the playoffs. I know we're 'only' three points behind, but there's 4 more teams ahead of us before 7th place. It'd take a month to close that gap if we have a good run.

It will looking at the fixtures we play 5 of the teams above us before the end of the year,. Then we can tell I reckon.

The aim of football is to score more than the other team.  There are several teams above us in the league that have scored fewer goals but they have conceded less.  We have one of the worst defensive records in the league.  Slade's response to a leaky defence in the first few games has been to make us hard to beat, concede less and get on an unbeaten run.  That builds confidence and provides a platform for moving up the table.  The 'you score 3 and we'll score 4' approach very rarely works in the long run.... take a look at Liverpool!

Just can`t see where the goals are going to come from, no matter how you juggle them we have no threat whatsoever up front, the manager needs to give Cardwell a run alongside Jones IMO


Weve had 9 different goalscorers already...

I much prefer it like that than 1 who scores the majority, as if you lose him to injury, then you have a problem...

we also have Osborne to come back who we know can score and create goals.

Exactly. The top scoring striker in 97/98 got 8.

Let's hope Dembele can score the same amount as Donovan did. He has the capability.
