I can see Sousa, Grant and McAtee scoring a few from midfield this season

If you check out the leading scorers for the 3 Buckley promotions it was 12, 12, 16 - Alexander, Gilbert/Woods, Donovan. The only two 20 goal strikers in promotion years in my lifetime are Tees and Amond.

In the Third Division Championship season the goals were spread around - Drinkell 16, Kilmore 15, Cumming 14 - Joe Waters chipped in with 8 as well.

We need a striker who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net on a consistent basis through the season or we will fall short of challenging for promotion

Whilst a prolific striker is most welcome; it's also a dodgy strategy to rely on someone who could get injured or lose form.

Most of the promotions in my lifetime have come from teams who spread the scoring around the squad.

We need two strikers to contribute 20-30+ goals between them. Then we will see the natural result of more space in the box and other players getting close to double figures But the key is those two main strikers. Maybe the game has changed but Tees & Green, Tees & Brace, Rafferty & Hunt, Rafferty & Portwood, wymark & Drinkell, Lump and Reddy …… you need dangermen to open up the space befor the Souzas and Mcatees can make their Joe Waters/Mike Brolly style contribution.

The thing is with good strikers at whatever level they get into goalscoring positions and take the odd half chance that settles games.When you dont have that type of player it is far more difficult to edge a game.Last time in non league we had Connell,Hearn,Lenny,Bogle,Amond so we always carried the threat we need one in ASAP.

Depending who you talk to, Bogle & Amond scored 50+ goals between them but the only reason we got promoted in 15/16 was because Monkhouse got injured and a Braintree defender lost his mind.

Said with tongue firmly in cheek, btw.

Most significant thing to happen that season was Gregor Robertson getting injured at Braintree in October.
