Marcus Marshall has something to say about this. Iconic substitute appearance.

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




Agreed. Without Townsend we wouldn't have made the playoffs.

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub
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.


Agree with this, though I've only seen the Rovrum game I think if the strikers can stretch the space and pull defenders around then we'll have goals from mid field. If we got 2 front men both well into double figures for the season then we'll be there or there abouts.

It blows my mind that just about every team struggles to find the striker they want. The game should be awash with strikers, and I say this based purely on the fact that, when I was at school, everyone wanted to be (and always played as) a striker.

All those dinner time games that finished 32-27 playing the 1-0-16 formation, a proper free-for-all, lads going off for their lunch then coming back with three extra players, no one ever passing, everyone shooting from every sort of angle, jumpers for goalposts isn’t it, hmm?!

Personally I loved defending because I soon realised that was the best way to actually get a few touches of the ball. My mate was in goal so we used to sit back, chat, and deny the arrogant goal-hangers. Loved it.

Where are all these attackers now? Getting ‘lost’ in the system? 😛

Sat in their bedsits giving you red crosses 😆


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Caolan Lavery from Walsall to Bradford meaning CV dropping down the pecking order. 🤨😉🤞

Does it make it less true?

End of the day it’ll come down to who’s for the deepest pockets and which team is a decent option for a decent striker. Some years we’ve had the money and been challenging, other years we haven’t.
