A goal poacher is an absolute priority.
Sod being a good footballer. If he scores goal with his backside, his chest, his kness or any part of his body for that matter I couldn't care less. As long as he makes the oppositions 8 yard box his area of expertise then the others can do the donkey work.
The prospect of BSP is just not something that we can even contemplate.
Not sure that a new striker would instantly mean more goals, and we are in a dog fight, not a case of sooner or later. So the players we have now need to roll their sleeves up, put in more effort, work harder at shutting down the opposition and kick that ball with some venom. Sammy should have them in for double dose of training, get the strikers to practise shooting on impulse. We do lack pace, yet that was the case last season too and we got into the play-offs?
I would prefer to see our players give it some serious wellie every time they get within 30 yards of the goal. Why try to get the ball in the 6 yard box before we go for goal, sheeish we miss most of those chances too, so what's the point in that. Also the opposition are going to realise that eventually one Andy Parrish torpedo shot will go on target and give us more respect. Time to stop the powder puff rubbish and get about teams right from the kick off.
