As a pundit said this week, you have to pay good money for s striker who is likely to score a lot of  goals.

Everybody wants a 20 goals a season striker.  We are unlikely to find anyone good enough that we can afford.  Do we need a prolific striker?  A big risk putting all your money and eggs in one basket?

Ask Chesterfield.

Plymouth and Orient were both champions last season.  Their top scorers only had 13 goals and 10 goals.  Clearly they scored plenty goals from around the team.

This seems to be the way go, and with reduced risk.  Not sure that we have enough scorers who are non-strikers that can contribute as many goals as we ideally need.

A couple or so seasons ago we had goalscorers from all over the pitch, something like 8/9 different scores in the first few games. So we know it can be done at BP.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I would always play 2 up front, first it means there is always someone within distance for any knockdowns, also it means the opposition will have to keep 3 if not more often 4 defenders back for cover, that should hopefully create more space in midfield.

McAtee?


Well yes, I just took him as at peno area scorer. But yes he did score several from outside the area, one I believe was a volley. But he was exceptional two seasons ago, but last season, not so much.

Point taken.

That one at Wrexham was alright.

It's mad how we have gone from supposedly creating loads of chances,to hardly any, so we have scored more than we "should have".

Clearly we will not score a worldy every week but I do find it odd that people almost don't count these as real goals.
I agree that we should be/need to create more, Rose needs support 100%. I think we have a top league 2 player in Rose, tbf we have 3 or 4 of them now I would say.
Definitely feels like a bit of height and muscle is what we need, there are still a few of them about.

We don't have to get a 20 goal striker just one who is a  big strong lad who can bring others into play ,

You never know Rose might be able to score 20 given the right service.

Tell me about it!

If Eisa's goals had been scrambled near post poke ins by a big striker or thumping back post headers would anyone be saying 'yeah, but you can't count them'?

Of course they wouldn't.
