This has all the hallmarks of the 2 year search for a centre half and ending up with Van Aken. Years ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 5-3-2 not 3-5-2. We aren't going to score many playing so defensively! I can understand that more away from home against a tough Bristol City side. It’s at home where we definitely need to change that psyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If we go with Windass, Kachunga, Rhodes and Paterson as our choice of forwards I really fear we won’t score anywhere near enough goals. Surely we will bring someone else in? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 We’re a 65 minute team at the moment. Lots of effort and endeavour but run out of ideas and little on the bench to change or influence a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unlikely to change soon, unless we bring in a few more players or become more adaptable during games or change formation to suit the players we currently have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 scoring goals has been a problem for ages, especially at home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 We are horrifically goal shy. It's almost like the Rhodes signing debacle has scared DC off from signing a genuine goalscorer ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Hes a utility man who at the reported 500k is a good buy but we need a striker - a proper one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Nick Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Socialist_Owl said: Lol "sign a striker !!!" Ok, sure. Beggars belief... 100% correct. This isn't like going to your wine broker and all you have to do is pay for it, buy the best all day, everyday. If that were the case SWFC could simply "go shopping." To make matters more difficult, True Strikers, 20+ guys, are not simply manufactured, they are born with that talent, otherwise, anybody could simply manufacture Strikers, and make a vast fortune. Same goes for any position in football, the best, are naturals, it springs from within them, they can't help it. If I had a solution to the SWFC "Striker" problem. I'd offer it, get hired by the Club, and make a bunch more money. It's easy to identify problems, but not so easy to solve them. Point? I'd like to hear some solutions, rather than reiterations of the problem. I can't offer any solutions because while I follow SWFC (when it works) I really don't know the game on a engineering level. Sorry for the rant...just upset over SWFC losing to Bristol City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the average positions, both wingbacks (numbers 2 and 7) got forward pretty well, too: The issue was that they put in a total of seven crosses between them, only three of which found their man.
