@owlstalk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Look at the squad we have and the players currently at our disposal Who would you say can get the ball and smash it into the back of the net and get us the goals we need? Gregory - yes definitely but only if he gets service Windass - what's happening with this kid? All I see is him spouting some reight Sheeeeeeite on twitter these days Anyone else? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanBird Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My prediction for the rest of the season: Gregory 12, Kamberi 7, Adeniran 2, Bannan 3, Wing 3, Mendez-Laing 2, Dele-Bashiru 2, Hunt 1, Patto 1, Dunkley 1 But I guess we need more. Hope Windass stays and contributes some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pulis Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Prediction for final totals: Gregory - 14 Windass - 8 (if he can get fit) Kamberi - 8 Paterson - 6 Bannan - 5 Mendez-Laing - 4 Dunkley - 4 Adeniran - 3 Shodipo - 3 Wing - 2 Luongo - 2 Berahino - 2 Think we will need another striker who can notch ten goals in the remainder of the season to get playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnssweetshop Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Windass.. Promised lots.. Given nothing.. Has now given up.. Same old story of mismanagement at S6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlabroad2001 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Windass would score a hatful if he could stay bloody fit! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This is an issue I have when I hear fans saying ‘Moore was backed in the summer’ and ‘we’ve got a squad that should be weeing the league’. Teams that get promoted generally score 80-90+ plus goals in a season. Did anyone look at our squad at the start of the season and see us scoring 80-90+ goals? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aint got enough goals in us. Compare this year with our last two promotions from L1. We have drawn so many games we should have won because we dont create enough opportunitie.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Think if we are going to get to play offs both Gregory and Windass to stay fit which is a bit unlikely. Goalscorers are hardest position in any team to fill, something Wednesday have really struggled with for about 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdial Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Said this at the start of the season, but was shouted down by the guys who know best. We needed a 20 goal a season striker. you need about 70+ goals to get in the play offs and we will be way short of that. Both times we’ve gone up we’ve had that, maclean and madine got 20ish. We’re way off challenging without addressing this and the awful turgid style of play. Losing corbeanu isn’t helpful either. It’s a mid table season I’m afraid and hopefully we’ll learn our lesson for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we simply don't look like scoring or even creating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Ime at a loss unless Windass gets fit but i suspect he wants away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 There are goals in this side but I’m not sure that the current manager is capable of getting the best out of our attacking options. Gregory, Windass and Paterson in another side could each score 15 goals at this level playing week in week out. Shodipo has a proven track record at this level of scoring goals. Medez Laing should be more than capable of chipping in with a few. In another side playing regular football I think Kamberi would be good for a dozen. As I say, there are goals in this side, the manager just isn’t capable of getting them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory is a solid option in this division, even at his age, but beyond that I think we were hoping Windass would stay fit or Berahino would rediscover his form. So far, neither have happened. The thing I don't get is that Moore clearly recruited for a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with the likes of Corbeanu and Shodipo, but we failed to add the key component of either system: a front man who's comfortable playing up there on his own. Whether we tried and failed due to the restrictions we're operating under, I don't know. But it's hamstrung our season massively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Our goal tally is pathetic. Accrington, Cheltenham, Cambridge, Fleetwood, Morecambe all scored more. It's not so much the players, but the mindset of the team. Too pragmatic, negative, backwards thinking instead of attacking teams. We've hardly had a shot on target in the last two games, never mind seriously looked like scoring. Mostly our attacking play is completely clueless, I genuinely wonder how long in training is allocated to attacking vs passing it between ourselves In our own box, getting as far as the half way line, then coming backwards to our own box again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Gregory, Kamberi, Windass and Paterson are all capable of providing the goals. Blimey Paterson got 12 in a relegated Championship side last season. You should expect even more in a lower division. Its the turgid style of play with such slow build up that’s so easy to defend against that’s the problem. By the time we’ve passed the ball sideways and back around our defence and midfield a dozen times even League 1 defenders are set rigidly into shape and our forwards man marked. Our set pieces are unimaginative and our throw ins usually concede possession to opponents. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
