Looking back at it, we could and should have lets be honest scored a fair few goals.
This has been one of our biggest issues this season. If you score up top, it's less pressure on the backline.
Granted, another goal conceded and again, it was an easy set piece goal to score. BUT if we can just find that goalscorer everything would immediately look a lot better.
As we saw with Waghorn, it doesn't need to cost the earth to find one, it's taking a gamble on a player. Perhaps Keane will be this, maybe not, but I still think, with a better forward line, we'd improve drastically.

Didn't we only muster one shot off target? |  |

We should have scored 2 goals, both Sears, when we were 1-0 down. Other than that we didn't have any clear cut chances and Accrington could have easily also scored at least 3 before they did score. |  |

Might get a whoosh here but we don't have a midfield capable of creating sufficient chances for our front men. They mostly and have done for the last 3 years chase scraps. This is fine when you have a Murphy, Garner or Waghorn who love a tustle and are excellent at holding the ball up and bringing players in because as you say it lifts the rest of the sides shape.
If you watch a Leeds, Scum or even a Forest they create 6/7 chances a game. We create maybe 1/2. |  |

Spot on, midfield has been workmanlike for yonks. |  | | |

The closest we came to scoring was a ball off their lad's head. |  | | |

The issues for me are hugely down to our soft centred midfield... we lack presence here and have done for years, so have often resorted to playing 5 in midfield, but without anyone really properly understanding their roles..
IMO if we could find a proper, quality holding midfielder, and a decent box 2 box midfielder, then we'd be able to play with creative wide men, and 2 up front, and we'd be much better. I think its a simpler shape, and we'd be able to get better understanding between the players. Currently, despite 5 midfielders, opponents always seem to be able to find space through us.
Recently our problem is that Skuse is our best holding midfielder, and whilst he does a lot of good stuff, mopping up, his lack of real mobility, and the lack of a quality partner for him, has meant that we can easily get overrun, so we flood the midfield instead.
I don't know what combination of what we have or could get would work, but I do think that allowing us 2 up front would work better with the strikers we have, and that a solid midfielder would without doubt help our beleagured defence. | |

We were awful in the first half, only player who showed any kind of fight was Downes but he had to come off before he was sent off. We were better in the 2nd half once Bishop came on and we decided to run at them and lets be honest they were not the fittest side either!
We created pressure but did nothing with it, Lionel Sears had the best chances and again when he goes one on one with the keeper I fancy the keeper every time.
I'd also say our set piece play was just plain awful we may as well kick the ball out for a goal kick at least we won't be caught on the counter then. | | | |

Not a chance J2, i'll say what's on my mind mate, just think looking back to sat, sears puts the ball away, 90% of these posts aren't even written.

That isn’t true. The player everybody seems to blame for all that’s gone wrong - Nolan - had a rasping shot on target that the keeper luckily pushed round the post.
