This maybe is what prevents us for an automatic promotion place. Lack of shots on target through the whole team is a worry, cannot see Evans paying out for another striker in January. We will have Roberts, Jackson, Norwood, Sears and Folami.......but who would you put your money on getting 20 goals this year unless we start putting away these half chances ....Not enough quality. |  | | |  |

I think you need to look at other things.
We don't create alot of chances and have to work hard to get chance, that's more of an issue in my opinion. If we are to persist with the way we are playing then we need a proper target man as we don't have one at the club. |  | | |

Two things on that: 1) We are in the automatic promotion spots, our niggardly defence being as important as goalscoring in that; and 2) If they're all chipping in (which they are), we don't need one man to score twenty, just 80 or so between the whole team. [Post edited 29 Nov 2019 8:54]

I am not sure that lack of goal power is the problem.
Only five teams have scored more than us.
Wycombe, in first place, have scored one more but played two games more.
Coventry in fifth have scored score four fewer in two games more.
Also we are in an automatic promotion spot.
It would be nice to score a few more goals, granted, but it is not quite the problem that you are making out. |  |

I don't buy this argument at all. Its easy to look at it under a microscope after a couple of games but across the whole season, this hasn't been an issue. I think the trouble with some pundits is they say what they see which is only a fraction of the games.If they're travelling up and down the country each weekend you'll see a different story.
Wycombe did well at getting bodies between the ball and the goal and our rotation policy is definitely hampering fluidity, especially in the final third but i think there's easily enough fire power in that squad to win this league without signing anyone in Jan. |  |

The defenders are currently out scoring the midfield, it would help if we had a constant goal threat from midfield.
Tommy Miller was the last midfielder to chip in with double figures over a season and how many years is it since he played for us. |  |

Depends on whether you count Luke Garbutt as a defender or midfielder. | |

I think both Jackson and Norwood are capable of 20 in this league if they stay for for the season (not happening for Norwood) get the right service and play in a two.
Service is key, as well as support around them and both things that are often lacking. I've nothing against one up top but am not convinced we have either a forward or the midfielders to be effective with it.
I don't think we'll hammer anyone, but neither do I think we'll miss out purely due to lack of a goal scoring forward. |  |

Our league position is owed to our defence really. We've conceded 12 goals. We've 'only' scored 27.
If we start shipping goals we might be in trouble. Equally, we might start getting our shooting boots on. I'm still predicting the likes of Judge and Keane, possibly Huws too, will soon come to life. |  |

Our goals from midfield record is utter turd. It's pathetic. | |

If you are saying having multiple goal threats is better than just one or two I agree absolutely, but we still need at least 1 new forward next month and maybe 2. |  |

I think you'll be waiting a long time for those three to start firing in the goals. |  |

I'll keep saying this until I'm eventually proved right.
First, the second half of the season will see other teams that have small squads suffer from burn-out.
Second, I don't see many of our players being poached in the transfer window but some of Peterboro's goalscorers will be the subject of transfer rumours. They might leave so Peterboro' will be less of a threat. They might be forced to stay but could be unsettled 'cos they wanted the big payday move.
This season is not even half done.
Many more twists and turns to come. |  |

Norwood 7 goals in 17 games. 0.41 goals per game
Jackson 7 goals in 15 games. 0.47 goals per game
We have 27 league matches left, so at the current rate of scoring;
Jackson would score a further 11 goals and finish on 18.
Norwood would score a further 13 goals and end up on 20.
So that's not a bad story.
I would expect Sears to get close to 10 goals if he comes back around the turn of the year. |  |

Would be happy with that.
Will Keane may score a league goal too. |  |

I think the propensity for teams to come to Portman Road and up their game/park the bus is skewing the perspective somewhat. |  |

I don't disagree that firepower is an issue, but even more of a problem has been our inability to achieve consistency over 90 in most matches. Whilst we are currently doing enough to get the job done in the league, that will be our undoing next season if we cross the line with promotion. |  |

Re: Sears. Really?
I'll be impressed if so, but shocked. | |

Nonsense.
Norwood, Jackson, Keane (who you've missed) and Sears are probably the best quartet of strikers this league has seen for a long time. |  |

I see no reason why sears couldn't get 8-10 goals in 20 games if played in the right position. | |

Yep- MM ignored the importance of a strong midfield
I hoped PL would resolve that
Maybe not |  | | |

I think he'll be more than handy, don't get me wrong. I just think it will be near enough a year - I doubt he'll play much if at all in Jan - that he'll have been out for, and it'll take a while for him to get going.
Norwood and Sears up top? Keane (fully fit) and Sears? Does sound good. | |
