Form of Strikers Will Decide Promotion

I agree.

Though its no surprise to me that our strikers aren't scoring when we have no established wingers to swing in some crosses.

We cannot always play through the middle and teams are now realising this as all we can do is play 4 CM's. we are pretty, but toothless against these teams.

We won't go up. However if we get two pacey wingers over the summer with the exciting McLaughlin covering the position, then I expect more goals. More wins. And it will be nice to see forest have a plan B.

Though the strikers are underperforming. In the words of Dodgeball...

'They need to get ANGRY, they need to get MEEEEAN!'

Our most recent prolific striker got sent off.

Sharps frozen out and that leaves us with just cox and dex who both support but both arent a clear goal threat. Both couldnt buy a goal right now so if our push is based on our front men we need something magically to happen.

though it would be more than useful for the strikers to start chipping in with a few goals, until we learn how to defend a set play, ie the three soft headers we conceded at Cardiff, we are really going to struggle to win games. Defending balls 'lumped' into our 18 year box has been an achilles heel all season.
I am not blaming either the defenders or the goal keeper (who I think has done very well since given a chance), but what we need is some one who will attack the ball, and not wait for it to come to them.
Tonight's result is massive, anything less than 3 points and I believe the 'play off' push will be over.
A win, and its back on, particularly with Fester playing Bolton.
COYR.
