I've noticed that many of you have shown growing concern that the gills haven't signed a couple of new strikers yet.
Thinking about it i decided to Annalise last seasons results. Interesting to say the least.
11 games 0 goals
17 games 1 goals
10 games 2 goals
So in 38 games out of 46 we scored 37 goals, hardly prolific was it. What a horror show without Cody's contribution. (26)
It's quite obvious that a lot more goals need to come from both the central defenders and a lot more from the midfield.
Of course I'm not saying we don't need another striker or two, buts it's now more than obvious to me why Hess has brought in a lot stronger midfield.

Agree that we need more from the midfield, in creating chances as well. One of the biggest frustrations of last season was that we weren't creating many chances in the majority of games - I think our conversion rate was actually fairly decent all told.
But we still need strikers, and we can't play six centre-midfielders at a time...

Interesting however Whelpdale 4 Games 3 goals from midfield, project that to 40 odd games = 30 odd goals maybe we don't need another striker after all. (tongue in cheek)

I'm always up for stats, but this seems a very negative slant on it. I don't consider 2 goals in a game to be particularly a bad performance. If we're scoring 2 and not getting a win then I would start to point fingers at the defence.
Obviously Cody's goals will be missed and we still need another striker but with a month to go and the posh boys signing on the line I dont really consider it tin hat time.

It's got nothing to do with being negative. it just highlighted where we failed as a team last season. As I said, we will need other strikers to complete the squad. However apart from Cody last season the other forwards hardly set the world alight. Anyway, just for interest and to answer you comment about when we scored 2 goals or more in a game last year. When we scored 1 goal. W5 D9 L3 When we scored 2 or more. W12 D2 L4. Including the last 2 home games losing 2 - 4. |
