I can't argue with your comments but honestly feel we need a greater spread of goals throughout the team ...

... the midfield should score more and our defenders shouldn't just come up for corners as a change of scenery.

And where is Poom these days <laugh>

Without a shadow of a doubt. The goals return from our other strikers and our midfield players was woeful. We need to be looking at creative AND goal scoring midfielders/strikers.

AOB, for example, was good at moving defences around and creating space for Wyke, but his goals per game ratio was awful. Peterborough had Clarke-Harris and Szmodics, Blackpool had Simms and Yates, Hull had Wilkes, Magennis and Lewis-Potter.

All of our strikers and attacking midfielders have to get their fair share of goals.

Would’ve liked to see more of Stewart l looks a better footballer all round. Certainly a lot quicker and a good 1v1 finisher. But I don’t think him and Wyke could play as a pair

I think the problem of this lack of goals from other areas goes back further than this season. I was thinking this back in the days of Bent ant Gyan . I counted at one point, during a run of 55 games, after taking out Bent, Gyan and own goals, there were only 7 games where a midfielder or defender scored. Since, there have been just so many times I've wondered if midfielders know that the rules do allow for them to score.

I agree. I don't think they could play as a pair. No doubt we'll see more of Stewart next season, and let's hope he develops into a decent player. We need more than him to get a hat full of goals mind.

Upthere over the road just said "nearly done". He's been pretty spot on before

He has but its pretty vague. Even the Echo are reporting we are close to agreeing terms.

Which will be great news.

An announcement of his new contract today will really kick start our summer and go a long way to attracting players. I reckon it will have a positive effect on O’Nien and Hume in their contract decisions as well (Wyke long gone)
