    He has 5 goals in 8 outings for the u21s this season, our first team strikers can't buy a goal at the minute, would you give him a chance?

    probably not. If our four first team strikers aren’t ready, then he definitely isn’t.

    It would also have a real confidence knock on the likes of Hemir who seems to be 4th choice out of 4 anyway. Poor lad must have been buzzing to be given the number 9 shirt and then dropped after two games, seemingly irreversibly

    The lad (Hemir) has made 13 appearances mind, like all of them he's just a tap-in away from starting the next game.

    He’s has the best chances fall to him out of all our options to be fair, should has scored a header way back if I recall correctly

    Rusyn had a couple of decent efforts aswell if memory serves, I think Rusyn is the best of the lot but not sure how long he is injured for. We're at a point with our strikers where we are desperate for any goal from any of them, If I was Tony I'd literally be drawing straws telling them whoever scores keeps the shirt.

    Indeed, had a lot of the goal to aim for, and hit the ball more or less straight at the keeper,very poor attempt

    Strikers eh....and to think a few short months ago we were all purring at having so many to pick from...I've said it before...it's a funny old game is football.
    What's the answer to curing the problem...confidence or more aptly a lack of it which is also affecting the rest of the lads unfortunately.

    On another thought I'd bounce Burstow back to Chelsea, rather give one of our own a chance over him, nothing personal like.

    100%. If we’re to bring anyone up to pace it should be one of ours.

    Why’s that? It’s just another example of our strikers not getting a chance won’t even let them take a penalty :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Agree but imagine if we gave it to the striker (Burstow), he misses and we lose 1-0. Three losses in a row. Hell on, Uncle Tone getting pelters.

    “Let”! Ha!!! Clarke is the penalty taker. If it’s 2 or 3 nil then let the striker have a go,
    Not at 1 nil down

    Mason Burstow after he skies a pen against Millwall, extending our losing streak to 3 and his goaless run to 11 games.
