Our last goal from open play from a 'striker' was Arquin against Accy 14th Feb nearly a month ago, our problem lies here. No matter what combination Evo tries it invariably ends up blank and says a lot about the cutting edge of our team atm. Three blanks on the trot and part time pete's pre season warning is still there that we'll not score enough goals when it matters for where we want to be.
Ok the team's improved to move us to safety which is the primary goal, but has it improved enough to take that 'Giant leap for Stagskind' to the next level? I personally don't think so.
I really pin my hopes on Evo's summertime ins and outs and our strike force and supply to the strike force (are you listening CJ) is where we need to do most of our business.
Great sum up 'tater, which reflects perfectly for me exactly the issues we have. Many on here get misty eyed for Green, but I believe the time has come (and arrived a while ago) to look elsewhere and I accept he has been in and out of the team, perhaps pining a bit for AM? I don't know but certainly the guy has lost his mojo.
Looking down the road and seeing Ameobi starring for County, it begs the question, couldn't we have looked to take a punt on him? As the strikers we have .....Rose, Acquin , Green, Hobo, well they really aren't going to propel us out of this league despite still having everything to play for, a really incompetent bunch at best over a period of time.
Looking to next year, wow what a L2 that could be. Many games localish with large away followings, it really will be a 'muck o nettles '.
We will need character and the list above can't inspire anyone with confidence surely?
I think Evans has been great for us, and stated so even before he was appointed, however his striker selection in the frenzied transfer window really has left for me a lot to be desired.
There were undiscovered Amazonian tribes that knew what was coming yesterday.
If you don't score , you don't win.
