Striker

Hasn't Matt's strike partner scored one or two as well ?

Alwase seems to be said , in the next window..in the summer window etc.. never seem to get one tho that knows where the back of the net is. and every year the same ... building for next year

What happened to Akwasi Asante?
He was the new Pele or something...

Danny Rowe's name comes up every transfer window, there must be a reason no league club has taken a punt on him

Probably because Fylde pay him stupid money.

He’ll sign an extension with them before the end of the season.

I think he earns good money outside of the game and has never wanted to turn full time pro therefore rules himself out of higher grade football.

Matty Warburton (aged 25) scored his third hat-trick of the season yesterday for Stockport against York.  The York match report said that Warburton showed a quality “at least 2 divisions higher”.

Worth at least a look at this striker?  He is highly-rated so probably on the radar of other clubs.

Gone to Chester

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Success of someone like Matt  this season could be based on he gets several chances every game to score, unlike last seasson where we couldn't even create 3 between all the players most games.

I was saying this yesterday on the way home. To get the most out of wing backs you need to get them forward in wide positions, whipping crosses in.  Most goals are scored as a result of a mistake so the more you put the ball in the box, the higher the probability that a defending player will make a mistake in a costly position.

To increase your chances further you need late runners into the box from midfield.

Jolley has previously spoken about wanting us to press high.  Lincoln had 11 men back at each corner but once it was cleared 4 players were sprinting out after the ball.  Due to the amount of "big lads" they have I also noticed that they didn't clear the ball out in to touch much.  Instead they hit it high, keeping it in play and won the resulting aerial challenge.  Little things like that make a huge difference.

If we can spot him surely our contacts will have reported to Jolly. Looks like a similar player to Almond.   GET IN THERE SON-sooner than later. " When it's gone it's gone.

Well they do if your side contains 6 or 7 brick sh!thouse sized players. I do agree with your other comment though, it is what I’ve been saying for weeks. We are slow to turn defence into attack. Wing backs turning inside and playing the ball square or backwards, mainly because the central midfielders do not get up with the strikers fast enough to outnumber the defenders. Another thing is the inability to carry the ball at speed. I feel Vernam can do it better than anyone and he should be used to do that. Other players should get up there to make room for him to use his speed.

But none of this will guarantee we score goals. We see the same happenings in the 6 yard box as we did with Slade’s side. Feet flying, legs swinging, players falling about,  ball pinging around and no good striker in there to make it count before a defender whacks it clear.
