Can't really argue with that. Goals are important. Someone should let PH know.

Not necessarily.

We could go the whole season without scoring a single goal and, assuming we don’t concede either, would get a better points total than 20/21 with two fewer games played. Also would’ve kept us up in the Conference every year since 17/18.

Check and mate.

Well it has to be said  that this is glaringly obvious. Our 2, ageing & hardly prolific front men are already out injured before the season has started. I know PH & co recognise that we will probably dominate  games & still loose because of our inability to put the ball in the back of the net. We need a proper No 9 centre forward.

44 goals between the whole squad ought to be easy peasy. Even with a couple of keepers.

It's technically possible to win the league by scoring about 30 goals. Win 30 games 1-0 and draw a few 0-0.

Won't happen I know but you get the drift.

You’re right, but we need to score a goal nearly every game on average, which means some we’ll score more as there’ll be several when we don’t score.

Take the point that we’ve done well when we have several players on 9/10 goals but I can’t see this squad doing that.

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.

We haven't got a natural goalscorer and we need one asap....It's not rocket science.

Win some corners and we have a decent aerial threat.  Not so pretty but Pearson et all will knock some in.

You're getting sarcastic replies to this, but you're right.

However PH knows, he's openly said he wasn't another striker, so with the season still 3 weeks away, there's not reason to panic over 1 pre-season defeat

Perhaps that's why PH hasn't got a name on the number 9 shirt.
, or even No 7.

We've still time to bring the TWO forward players we NEED in. But the question does need to be asked why they aren't at Cheapside and settling in.

I would love us to re-sign Charles Vernam and Kabongo Tshimanga. Easier said than done I appreciate. I'm sure PH and the CEO will be doing their very best to bring the required quality in, if we have to pay more than we'd like then we must do that.

Appreciate it's easy to spend other peoples money, but we are short and there is only one automatic promotion places up for grabs, can we agree we are past the point of aiming for play offs in this league under the ownership of the unmentionable?

Please enlighten us with a realistic solution.

We all know that the hardest working manager with probably the healthiest pre season budget we've had whilst in NL is sat around on his @rse doing nothing about brining in a couple of strikers. Clearly your insight will give the experienced paid proffessional the jolt he needs.

Hurst knows what we need and will be all over it, let him get on with it.

I don't think we ever were aiming for the playoffs. Surely every single team in the division sets out trying to win every match and therefore to win the division. There's a difference between aiming for the playoffs and being blown out of the water budget wise for the only automatic spot in the division which is what happened almost every year we were in the Conference before and might well happen again this time round too.

A bit of guesswork here. Hurst already has two workhorses for the front line so at this stage he may only need one further striker, someone who can play a bit of fox in the box.

Lack of goals is not just a results problem in itself. It affects the confidence of the whole team. If they know their good play will have a good chance of being rewarded with a goal, that are less likely to be defensive minded and revert to the  old sideways, sideways, back and bang routine.

We've got Alfreton on Tuesday and Burnley U23s Wednesday and I'm not sure how we will approach those but if Waterfall starts against Boston on Saturday, you might be onto something.
