Has scored 3 goals in 3 years. Just about right for us then.

it does beg the questions; who is available in the 'out of contract' market ?
& are they within our price range ?
& would the owners release those funds ?
inho we really need a talismanic figure on the pitch,
someone like Kevin Nolan, but he'd probably be out of our price range

You need to create chances, that's the issue, we're creating fuck all.

We have 8 centre forwards, it's fucking absurd!!

Rather see some of this budget spent on a creative midfielder & Agyei & Wright given a go before another has been striker is signed.

Exactly Agyei looks alright and what's the point in having Wright at the club if he's basically not going to be used!?

Mowbray does some very strange things. He didn't play Tudgay at all last year and now he is the main man...

Anyway,,,Mowbray has been a big fan of Becchio and wanted him at Boro.

Tudgay could have had 3, almost identical play to the one he put wide but he just couldn't reach a Sordell cross which was flashed across the box. Sordell also missed a really good chance first half where Bigi cut it back to him.

Not true. We had a couple of really good chances against Oldham. Tudgay had a free header and put it wide. We had 17 shots, that's plenty of chances.

Mowbray has lost the plot, we need some creativity and another defender, not a fucking has been, past it striker that's played 15 times in 3 years. Pathetic.

Don't forget a keeper!
We're creating plenty, just not hitting the target and importantly the net. The defence is not a great issue right now it's goals for not against.

OK then, ignoring the one Tudguy couldn't reach, we had 3 chances in the 18 yard box, the rest were from range. Not many good chances, we don't create and we don't finish enough. The problem with the stats about lack of goals to shots is that it includes all the long range pot shots. We don't create enough clear cut chances, we don't get enough men in the box (99% of tbr time it was just one player - something I complained about last season), no one from midfield is willing to run in behind the strikers, we literally just attack with 4 players. We did the same last season but those 4 included Armstrong and Murphy wouod score something out of nothing.

Its really frustrating, but its easy to blame shit strikers but we are lacking thr creativity, Jones seems to provide it from the bench against tired legs but isnt affecting games enough when he starts. Mowbray needs to stop being scared and let the team loose, and let the full backs and a central midfielder bomb on.

No point signing striker after striker if only one of them can be in their natural position on the pitch at any one time.

Agreed. It's a bit of a gamble, but I've always liked him and if it comes off....

Exactly. We end up having to pay loads of strikers on the off chance.

Meanwhile we lack in other areas.
