Really worried by this lack of firepower! I know we played well and deserved something out the match, but the same can be said for Fleetwood, Darlo and today but if we have no one to put the chances away then I really fear for the season. Liam Hearn was meant to be our new goalscorer, don't mean to crititicise him too early but the lad can't read the game.

Need a goalscorer quickly..

It should be so simple though. 433 is shoving Hearn out on the left, when surely as a prolific striker he should be in the center. It's also leaving gaps which are being exploited down the wings.

I think anyone can see we need to go 442, with Eagle on the left wing, Coulson on the right. Church and Artus in the middle, and Hearn and one of Duffy or Elding up top. Makofo flatters to deceive, stick him on the bench and bring him on with 20 minutes left so his pace can frighten tired defences.

Fully agree mate but couldn't believe it against Darlo, just didn't read the game at all. Looks low on confidence as well though which doesn't help!

Styche should have been the main target in the summer when Connell left.

Agree totally about Eagle. Won't be long before the lad gets that pi*sed off at not even getting a place on the bench and wants away. Must be bloody disheartening for him, (and me) not getting a look in when we can all see that he should be playing.

You think its bad that we can't score? Imagine how Fleetwood feel, they have scored 3 in 6 games (2 against us). How many people here would have been happy signing Brodie, Mangan, Viera and now Vardy?

I can't imagine the reaction if we lost 1-0 at home to Alfreton but that's exactly what happended to York.

This isn't an football division it's a footballing freakshow

Yeah Eagle needs to be back in the team and we need to go 4-4-2. He is a clever player and creates chances for others as well as being more than capable of putting chances away himself.

I'd consider playing Makofo on the right wing and using Coulson as a striker up front with Duffy/Spencer/Elding as well. Coulson has a very good shot on him and with his head-down and run towards goal direct style, I think he could be prolific up front.

I don't think Eagle would make a lot of difference to be honest.I think you all want him in just because he isn't,so you're seeing him as the saviour.Too slow and lightweight for this league in my opinion.

Also don't think Coulson is the answer either.He has one way of taking chances and that's to hit the ball as hard as he possibly can.Never tries to place the ball as far as i can see.It comes off sometimes but like Saturdays chance,not often enough.

Elding and Hearn have a lot of goals between them and they will score goals i think.We need a bit of luck and confidence to grow.
