Funny how things change so quickly. It wasn't long ago our defence was crap and now they are looking capable. Its now the strikers that are letting us down, actually thinking about, have we got any strikers?
Forget Easter as he has been told he wont be involved in any 1st team games. Forget Lucas as he wont get a decent run of games to show what he can do. Harrison has played in 35 games this season in all competitions. He has scored just 8 goals. Apart from the 4 goals in 1 game vs Northampton, the last time he scored was on 15th October vs Gillingham which was 22 games ago. That is very very poor. Gaffney has played in 33 games this season in all competitions. He has scored just 5 goals and those 5 goals have came in 4 games meaning he has failed to score in 29 games that he has been involved in. That is very very poor. He scored 5 goals in 7 games last season when on loan with us which is great but.... Since joining us on a permanent deal, he has played a further 50 games scoring just 8 goals. Comparing both spells with us, he is like 2 different players! James has played in 18 games this season in all competitions. He has failed to score a single goal. That is very very poor. So between our 3 strikers, they have played this season a combined 86 games and only 13 goals scored. This is the sort of stat that you would expect to read for wingers and midfielders, not your strikers. So to answer your question... do we have any strikers? The answer is NO. Clearly we dont.
