Not a striker, and 100% not a lone-striker, in a zillion years.

 

He’s been an almost ever-present for 21 games and scored 3. Our record with him up top is dire.

 

We have to buy/loan a proper striker or we are done.

Told ya

Then we have to get the ball to them.

Even Ronaldo and Messi would not score with our midfield.

The main problem is we’re just not a team. 


We’ve got a group of players that have been assembled at random without a plan.
 

Pick any formation 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-3 and we just haven’t got the right players and the pieces don’t fit.

Too true.

We never seem to bring players to the club that we actually need.

Not just now but for the last 30 years, 'Sir' Jack and Sgt Wilko were the last managers to do that.

Correct. Football is a team sport and we are not.

And Big Ron. He knew how to put a team together with pieces that fit: Hirst and Williams, Palmer and Sheridan, King and Worthington.


Combinations all over the park where the whole was often greater than the sum of the parts.

Yep, I forgot about that.

We're done anyway. We can't get the ball to a striker. 2 out of 22 crosses completed tonight.

Bannan and Reach contributed enough in previous season for us not to be a bottom 6 side. Oh yeah, that was when we had genuine strikers to play to.

Have been saying it all season you cannot play midfielders up front, call them forwards then be shocked when they don't score goals.

 

But Bannan has been just as bad 2 assists in 24 games completely useless. He would have got more if someone taught him how to take a corner.
