Yes absolutely. It really is worrying and our biggest problem.
With injuries to strikers and questions over the ability of the remaining it is no wonder we are so shit at attacking.
I wouldn’t even count Allen, his only decent performances have come playing deeper.
Considering we started the season with something like 8 AMs (O’Hare, Jones, Jobello, Hilßner, Kasta, Shipley, Allen, Bapaga), the fact none of them are up to scratch is a concern.

The names listed at impact Subs at this level at bestI wouldn’t even count Allen, his only decent performances have come playing deeper.

He wasn’t even proven at league 1 levelLosing Jones was such a blow. I think he'd have been one of our star players in the AM role alongside O'Hare.

So it has to be asked why have we brought in Matty James and then paid out for a lwb and not addressed the problems in attacking midfield.
Wouldn't say O'Hare isn't up to scratch. He's played pretty well, does a lot of good for the team, just needs to work on that end product. Jones, Jobello, Hillßner all been injured so hard to judge those. Bapaga is only just breaking through so shouldn't be putting too much pressure/expectation on him. Shipley and Allen have been a bit disappointing but both had good games. I do wonder if the plan was to play with 2 up front but injuries have prevented us from doing so up to this point.

Fair pointHe wasn't, but I honestly don't think anyone could be worse than Shipley right now.
Tip of the box? Where the fuck is that?
Sounds like Robins didn’t really want this to happen, and I do think it weakens our already threadbare attack. Leaving Giles out of the match day squad is an indication of Robins’ mind set, defense being the priority. I don’t think we’ll miss him, because I don’t think he would have had much game time in the second half of the season anyway. Still, disappointing overall.
Amazed it’s attacking midfielders who need to produce goals and not our forwards

Let's be realistic
We rushed Godden back too soon and if we have no other options then it will probably happen again, same with Walker
So many football fans just say 'get rid' of their favourite scapegoats but without saying what their club should do if they don't have a ready replacement for that particular player
Baka doesn't have a bad attitude and wants to do well
Maybe he's not up to Championship standard but if the lad can fluke a goal it would do his confidence the world of good
And give our main forwards the chance to recover properly for the business part of the season when we may be fighting to stay in the division
Norwich have just signed a new Left Back from Germany(i think) for about 4.5million so there was no chance of a Mccallum recall.But this situation was more than likely if MR wasn't picking him and in the lat game left him out altogether. He should have forseen that Wolves would want to recall him if he wasn't playing and given him more game time, esp in games against teams of a similar standard to us where we should be looking to attack more. Instead he's approached them far too cautiously and IMO we've left points on the field against close rivals because we've not been willing to have more of a go at them.
I'd have thought he'd have wanted to do so just in case Sam got recalled by Norwich, esp as they were having a lot of injuries to deal with.
If MR isn't happy with it he's only really got himslef to blame for lacking the foresight that this was a more than likley outcome the way he was utilising Giles.
Big big mistake on our part IMO. Think he will have the beating of Dabo quite easily when we play them.
He's got to stop Dabo going the other way though, should be interestingBig big mistake on our part IMO. Think he will have the beating of Dabo quite easily when we play them.

It's amazing we're relying on our defenders to create chances for them and not our attacking midfielders.
