Ray Crawford recently said you can play badly and still win if you have the luxury of a good goal scorer. Ipswich current issues stem from a lack of goals and any promise of a turn around in results are meaningless without resolving this problem.
I believe that even Lambert recognized this need last summer but Evans failed to back him with the funds to get in the right man. Talk of Ipswich signing Clarke Harris and Wyke was in the press and with hindsight either one would have been perfect. But Evans hesitated as he has done time and time again and our chance for momentum was lost.
Outside Norwood no one on the books is a regular scorer and Norwood has never been fit long enough to effectively contribute in past two seasons. Lambert has made this situation worse by continuing to play two low scoring wingers and not putting enough emphasis on two natural finishers. He is placing emphasis on creating goals and not finishing them.
Current players can keep telling us that results will improve but they won’t until this problem is addressed. We were relegated from the Championship for the same problem and lessons have not been learned. |  | | |  |

Jackson would score (and miss) a bucket load in this division if he played in a team with any sort of strategy or cohesion. |  |

Frankly with Lambert in charge we could have Henry Aguero and Salah and it would make no difference |  | | |

Jackson would only be effective in a front two. | | | |

Of course. Murphy and then Waghorn/Garner spared Mick’s blushes as good examples. |  |

We barely creating any chances. No point having a 'goalscorer' if theyre not being created |  |

I think he might even be OK as part of a three if we played a true front three rather than claiming to be 4-3-3 and being 4-5-1 |  |

Well said. Been saying the same for at least four years. We don’t have one proven striker on our books! |  | | |

You know when Holy picks the ball up and then we kick off again just afterward? Well that's a goal. | |

Strikers need service, we lack busy, fast wingers who can cross a ball into the area. Get the service right and almost any striker can do a job at this level. | | | |

Or a narrower front three. |  |

We create absolutely nothing, you could stick a prime Alan Shearer up there and he's not going to do a lot with one half chance a game.
The whole team is built around defending, and moving the ball so slowly the other team is set |  |

I think many teams in our league would be envious of Jackson and Norwood. Even Sears should bag a few at this level (fitness permitting).
Just boils down to a tactically inept manager. Aguero would struggle here. | | | |

Least Mick could see their potential. He signed some good players. Lambert's signing have been p!ss poor. |  | | |

Nothing to indicate we're especially profligate in front of goal or that we're "placing emphasis on creating". We're slightly outscoring our xG in fact:
