Strikers 08:03 - Aug 10 with 1159 views | cressi | After losing Norwood ,Pigott And Bonne and only bringing in Ladapo who I think is OK at this level we all know we need another striker personally not convinced if Hirst is that good one good half season. I believe the striker needs someone near him always seems isolated apart from Burns last season we never get in behind out wide and if losing put a second striker on. We moaned at Cook for playing a one way system are we back to doing it again refusing to have different plans if needed or changing tactics against different sides I'm sure Chambers would have had a more difficult night if two up front. |  | | |  |
Strikers on 08:06 - Aug 10 with 1130 views | bournemouthblue | There is Tyreece Simpson who I suspect could be used in a makeweight for a deal with certain clubs It's evident we need another quality player through the door who will add goals and ideally a decent number of them That surely has to be an out and out striker rather your number 10 type like Mckirdy as an example? |  |

Strikers on 08:08 - Aug 10 with 1113 views | homer_123 | I think there is a marked difference under KM. We create chances. Both good chances and decent half chances - this is the difference for me. Under Cook, at times, we struggled to create any decent chances. So, I'm not sure KM needs to change anything tactically. Defensively, we are good, the midfield is more the decent. For whatever reason we struggle to convert, so we either need one or two to go on a run of converting or we do need A.N.Other to come in as a striker and hit the ground running. There is plenty we are getting right under KM, I'd say like 95% - it's that simplest but hardest part - put the ball in the net. |  |

Yep, for me it's an out and out striker. We are more than covered in the 10 role, we need someone who can convert. |  |

Judging from FGR, we've even cured last season's habit of always wanting to manufacture the perfect cross and shot. Players appear far happier to try shooting from distance. |  |

I'm reading lots of "we need shooting practice" after two superb finishes won the game at Forest Green. What we need is a better choice of final ball, and for Rakeem Harper to get his head up before he plays a suicide pass across our box. Or just don't play the pass in the first place. |  |

You can probably get therapy for this, you know. |  |

Yep but he only has a year left on his contract and they will look to sell him whilst he is in top flight (restrictions about players coming into English football from lower divisions) |  |
