New striker coming sooner than we think? (1 Viewer)

Don't forget Ellott he scored 15 in a championship season. If he got 10 from 25 appearances this season is be more than happy. Also you can't forget Baker who has scored prolifically down at this level when played in the correct position. McSheffery also scored, was in 11 last year? Fleck as well will get around 10.

Ball is a quality addition no doubt he will create at lot more upfront for us. Cody will have to deliver the goods but I don't want to put pressure on the lad I know he's got goals in him but I'm thinking with an experienced striker who has goals in him it will help ball & Cody get in more goals but we have Elliot too so I'm not sure what thorn has in his mind for his fave upfront pair I'm loving all these new additions by the way

Me too mate! I couldn't believe my eyes when the first 1 came through. I was all set up for another interesting but pointless pre-season but Thorn and SISU have suprised me. And the suprises have kept on coming and this excites me. What makes it even better is the fact that theres still more to come!!

I was saying that the other day. While Ball can score, i think he needs to be played sparingly. Maybe 2/3 matches on and then 1 off just so he gets a good rest. We don't want him burning out like Gael and the other young'uns did last season. If we do get these two strikers, then we can get a nice rotational system going where each player plays a certain amount of games and then gets a rest. It means we avoid the possibility of knocks and injurys (especially for the older players). But overall it would be nice to have 2 strikers on the bench that could score that we could put on in the 2nd half to score a few goals if the situation demanded it.

This would make my year if that happened
