take out the penalties scored by barker ( but won by midfield players ) and we dont like getting goals from our strikers.
some of us asked at the start of the season where the goals were gonna come from. after 7 or 8 goals wilson was in the mail taking the pish out of all those people ,i.e. 2 of us in the fanzine, what were worrying where the goals were gonna come from.
well the goals have well and truly dried up. thankfully i wasnt at the game last night, but speaking to people what were there, we didnt really look like scoring. we also missed a fair few chances at millwall.
we may get away with it against gainsborough, morecambe and bournemouth, but we wont in the long run.
as for barker being rested, cant see that happening, even though we have played better when he has been off the field. he seems to be the managers favourite.
thats not anti barker sentiment by the way. he has a lot of attributes. but neither porter or moore are suited to chasing long balls and flick ons, and both have been made to look very ordinary playing alongside him.
With the exception of a few moments, Joel has looked very ordinary so far
Boyd has done very little so far as well.......
Perhaps it's the teams like Notts Forest who have the best attack, and have done this by spending far in excess of what we can afford?
