Our problem is we rely on the two players you mention (Adomah & Wallace) to send in those crosses, but we don't have enough through balls (whether flat or looped) coming from the midfield. Chair and Willock seem to always keep the ball and try to shoot on their own.
I don’t get what the problem is. We are the fourth highest scorers in the league, and those who have scored more occupy positions 1,2 and 3. We have scored in every league game except one for more games than I can remember. Every game I have seenI have been more worried about what’s happening at the back than about our ability to score, because we nearly always do. I don’t really care who scores the goals.

I'm not grumbling. But I'm just looking at how improvements can be made. Sometimes, it is frustrating to watch when you think you can see a fix.

I've seen you mention this a few times.
Again I don't really agree.
It's bread and butter to most defences if you just send through balls over the top etc.
Austin and Dykes are very slow anyway, so it's only Gray who would have any chance of getting behind a defence with his pace and he's looked rather poor, apart from one wonder goal.
 
Has anyone heard rumours about a goal keeper from Derby?
Yes, WLS reckon experienced Scottish International David Marshall is probably joining us on a short term contract or a loan from Derby in the next 24 hours. The Mail say he is having a medical with us. Only problem maybe that Derby Administrators are reportedly playing hardball with other Clubs trying to buy their players.

Gray hasnt impressed me that much either. Infact apart from that wonder goal, he seems quite lethargic at times. Our fastest striker is currently on loan at ipswich. We really do lack that bit of pace in the squad.

Agree. Apart from that wondergoal I've been thoroughly unimpressed

And as for his supposed pace.....I've not seen any evidence of it yet (although only watched streamed matches, not in the flesh)
