Im really not sure. We have lost Norwood and Bonne. I really cannot see who we have brought in will improve on goals which lets face it was lacking badly last season. Jackson isnt the answer,cannot see what the fuss suddenly is with him.Yes he runs around like a headless chicken and KM seems to like that but he has done that before and has mainly been meh for the best part of 4 years.
Ladapo lve watched on and off for 2 years as was working in Yorkshire. He is a very sulky guy, if he isnt getting fed the ball he stands around for entire games,if he isnt in the team he sulks. He is not the all action guy some seem to think he is. He goes missing a lot.
The youngster from Arsenal is just a punt,lets face it. His goal scoring record is virtually non existent and he doesnt have a lot of experience in first teams on a regular basis. He will be lucky to get 4 goals.
Then there is Pigott,who has been woeful. A traffic cone does more on the pitch than the guy has managed.
l know l will get marked down but l just cannot see where enough goals are coming from. We couldnt score last season l really fail to see where all these extra goals are coming from this season. Not from Leigh or Ball,the latter being an excellent player though. |  | | |  |

As I've said elsewhere, I think getting our players to shoot more often and with confidence will make a lot of difference.
Numerous times we got the ball up to the edge of the opposition penalty area, then ran across the face of it and passed out wide without even having a go. Then didn't put the bodies in the box to get on the end of a cross. Or put the effort wide. Or weakly straight at the 'keeper.
Burns scored 12 because he was prepared to let fly when he thought there was an opportunity. |
True. Many of Burns goals have him coming in at the end of a move and smashing his right foot through the ball. |  |

Manchester City last season had 8 players in the top 50 of the premier league for goalscoring and this is the type of team that our wonderful manager is trying to create. We do not necessarily need a 25 goal a season old fashioned type of centre forward. We will be a team of 11 outfield players (yes even the 'keeper' has to be a footballer) who all have the ability to help out defensively, help create chances and of course score goals (or at least serve two of those functions).
Last season we expected so much of Wes Burns as he is the rarest of footballers outside the premiership, who defends, creates AND scores and that is why he plays international football.
Have trust in Mckenna, he is a diamond and we are fortunate to have him. | | | |

I think there's an argument to be had over being concerned when signing players of 25-26 that haven't done much in their careers.
John-Jules is 21!
Spurs loaned a striker out when he was 18-19 years old and he scored 5 in 18 at Leyton Orient, 7 in 22 at Millwall, then 0 in 3 for Norwich and 2 in 13 for Leicester. I have family that have Spurs season tickets and have done since the 80's. They ALL said Kane was gash and may as well leave.
He ended up averaging over 20 goals a season in the Premier League in the next eight seasons and will likely end up the greatest striker the Premier League has seen and England's record scorer of all time.
Yet our fans will have you believe that other players can't possibly develop into a decent League One striker! |
We scouted Kane just before he broke through into Spurs’ first team.
Scout reported back that he wasn’t worth signing, a week or two later he got his chance in the first team and hasn’t looked back. |  |

I get that people are bored, social media is addictive and that people don't want to just make vanilla comments, but it's so depressing to read - and can't help players joining the club.
As I posted earlier in the week, Wes Burns from Fleetwood was miles ahead of two lads we signed from West Brom, who'd just played Premier League football.
Piggott, a 20 goal a season striker was dire. Fraser, whose stats on creativity were the best in the country, was a flop.
Meanwhile Donacien, who'd bounced around on loan to places like Fleetwood, was not far behind the player of the season.
We simply do not know. Every player from the Premier League to League Two bar the very best is going to fluctuate and some will drop like Michael Ricketts and others will rise like Vardy.
Salah was a flop at Chelsea. Went on to be one of the best players in the world. I remember thinking Mane was crap for Southampton until he got that 4 minute hat-trick against Villa and I suddenly saw something.
I didn't want Maitland-Niles in the Town side when he was here and he's just been at bloody Roma! The next big thing, Nick Powell, has ended up having a solid League One career.
Sure, have an opinion, but people writing off signings made by a manager who looks an absolute diamond, who massively improved the likes of Wolf and Jackson, a player that Arsenal rate, is top tier moronism.
As you say with Kane, we didn't fancy him and neither did any of the Spurs fans I know and look! | | | |

Another post highlighting problems downvoted and ridiculed for no real reason. I know the myth is Bonne was bad and offside all of the time, and Norwood was an out-of-shape gobshy.. but that's what 23-24 goals we have lost. We have also lost Celina.
My concern is McKenna is far too conservative in his approach and hasn't addressed the goal issue so far, which was our biggest problem since he took over.
For me, the honeymoon is over for Gamechanger, Ashton, and McKenna, I am going to be asking questions, and should nothing improve, expect action to rectify it. |
Time to ban this budgie... |  |
