FreshOwl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Without Fletcher and FF (to a much lesser extent) we have only scored 32 goals this season, an average of 0.84 a match. If the EFL hit us with a deduction I’m worried were not gonna have the firepower for a relegation fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 During the Chansiri era we’ve been overly reliant on having a strong defence as we don’t score enough goals. The two seasons we finished in the Top 6 were in the main down to the defence as we conceded 45 in each season while scoring 66 and 60 respectively. A statistic that the Westwood critics will love is when he misses a chunk of the season the defence goes to pot in comparison, 60 and 62 goals conceded in the last two seasons. 50 conceded already with 8 games still to go. Goalscoring wise 59 and 60 scored with 47 scored so far this season. So in a nutshell Monk either tries to make us more of an attacking threat or he gets us back to being more frugal at the back which would require either recalling Westwood or getting in a keeper of similar experience and ability. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t we linked with Foderingham? Since then however, Monk has said he trusts our young keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably seen 70 goals or more put past him in his last 40-50 appearances? I know he can’t be criticised on here but the difference between when he’s the regular No 1 and Westwood’s between the sticks regularly is palpable.

Lincs Owl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yes, fetch Atdhe on for last 20 minutes when defenders are tired and don't fancy the bearded giant bearing down on them. Carlos knew how to play him. Shame none of the latter 3 managers have worked it out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood was a fantastic keeper in this division and unfortunately we were always going to struggle to find anyone of his ability and influence on the back 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The issue is more supplying the strikers with quality rather than who the strikers are imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
