Everyone is calling for the addition of a striker ie, a person who scores goals, to our squad, but Iâm not sure that is the total solution to our problems.
I had hoped that Brunt might have found his shooting boots at York, but despite half a dozen full time matches until yesterday he has played too many games without notching a goal to his account.
For starters who is going to let us have a decent player, unless we pay a fair sum for him?
Our problems are not just about finding a new player. I believe we need to take a good look at the way we play in the final third. Barnet employ Akinde, who we all know isnât exactly what you might believe to be the footballing equivalent of an Epson Derby winner. Despite the manâs clumsiness, he has managed to score more than half as many goals on his own as the Gas have in the League all season. So Barnet must be getting him into the right places and setting him up with balls which can deal with on a fairly frequent basis.
So my point is that itâs more about getting players into the right places and supplied with the right deliveries. That is what we do not seem to be doing. The coaching staff will be aware of this problem and working hard to sort it out. Could they do it now please and not wait until it is far too late!!!
Our team always looks better with Sinclair onboard. And we sorely need him with Monkhouse and probably Trotman out. He buzzes around the midfield and creates opportunities, but the front men desperately need to get their act together. Too often we are defending games which should have been put to bed well beforehand.
