Lee Johnson's striking options?

[Sandy Camel]

We have options? Agree it isn't just the strikers fault though, we just don't get enough players in the box to support them. Johnson identified that yesterday so I'm fairly confident moving forwards we'll do better in that final third. If we can get a few additions with some of the qualities we lack and upgrade a few positions we'll be scoring more regular imo.

I agree. He'd defo Spice us up .

I think if they could get an early goal it would make them a lot korma.

If we could have been bothered to look, I would be astonished if a fitter, quicker, keener forward couldn't have been found playing in non league football than we currently have playing.

I can think of a few that I reckon could make the step up.
The problem with a lot of lads in non-league is that, I think, their characters aren't suited to league football. That's not to say they have poor characters or bad attitudes. In fact, I think they probably have more about them.

It’s a horrible catch 22, our strikers don’t have much pace or mobility so are rarely in a good place to receive a dangerous ball and our midfield is one paced. I think the strikers are the bigger issue though. Despite all having moderate success at other clubs Graham, Grigg and O’Brien have actually had quite a few golden chances and failed to score. Forwards that have good movement and pace will make the midfielders job much easier.

Christ shows how early it was when I posted that. Meant Scowen not Dobson. Dobson would be one of the players I hope we pay off

Yet statistically he's a far better passer of the ball than Power! Also covers more ground. Power seems to avoid criticism and gets away with playing worse than Dobson.

This isn't me sticking up for either by the way - I don't rate either of them. I'd much rather (if fit) have O'Nien in midfield alongside Scowen or Leadbitter.

When is Benji due back?

When is Benji due back?

Hopefully sooner than parky quoted. Think it is still about another month.
