Our biggest problem this season.
Some stats for you to show the poor attacking threat we have.
Bolton are currently 16th in the PL for 'big' chances created.
We've only made 27 big scoring chances in 32 games. Too much focus on the wings, we need to keep it central create more chances that way.
Bolton are currently 18th in the PL for 'big' chances scored.
Only scored 13 of these chances, that's a 52% miss rate, only Wigan, Liverpool, Sunderland and Everton have a worse big chance conversion rate than us.
The main offenders are Kevin Davies with 5 misses.
David Ngog has 4 misses.
Mark Davies has 3 misses.
This is much lower than the leagues worse however: (big chances missed)
Adebayor (20), RvP (19), Suarez (18), Graham (15), Bent (12), Aguero (12), Crouch (11), Balotelli (11), Welbeck (11)
Quite simply were not creating enough big chances. Adebayor nearly has as many misses as we have created. We have to keep the ball on the floor, keep it through the middle, or if we do have it out wide, come inside and pick out a man. Crossing hasn't worked all season.
Need to get it to strikers feet in the area. Create some chances, not pot luck shooting from a wide angle, get it central, create decent chances.
Creating chances.

Agreed trig just shame JAH posted this
Well why don't you create your own little article to debate the OC manager thing instead of ruining every single thread you go on! I'm sure you can do it Petrov, you're a big boy now. Go up the page and click on the link 'Create JA606' - its fairly straight forward.

God forbid you saying someone from midfield needs to step up and play some forward passes.
They go sideways because they are too acted to try.

Vortep- it's 'you're' not 'your' (once is forgivable, but twice on the same thread isn't). I hope you don't teach those kids English.
