goals scorers

[onewayup]

I think that we need to be scoring more goals from midfield to be involved in the promotion hunt come the final months of the season,I just don't think we have scored anywhere near enough at the moment, I think once Armstrong is fully fit things may happen,he,s missed as he is probably the best forward who can hold the ball higher up the pitch bringing the midd fielders into the game higher up ,which in turn allows them the opportunity at goal.

We now have plenty of striking options, especially if Purewal can re-capture his old form and we should be scoring goals for fun. Obviously if players can chip in with goals from other positions, then it will only help our cause. But I don't think we have a big scoring problem.

What a load of tosh. You realise we're not going to score 3/4/5 goals a game don't you

Some people are expecting us to win 5-0 like it's the northern league, well those days have gone.

I think we are second top scorers, so we aren't doing too badly!

[Darlo_Pete]

It was onewayup that wants more goalscorers, I was saying we have plenty already.

Read the post,it clearly states that I think the midfielders need to score more ,strikers are plentiful,but we don't get enough goals from midfield at the moment,that,s all just an observation.do you think the midfield are scoring enough.

What does it matter where the goals come from as long as we are scoring?

Exactly.

Armstrong isn't going to get fully fit if MG keeps him on the bench like last Saturday! On the other side of the coin perhaps this is part of his rehabilitation programme? I am not sure.

I'd agree if we were a team whose goals all came from one or two forwards, but all of our forwards, 5 or 6 of them probably, can be relied upon to chip in so I don't think we need a free scoring midfield to back this up necessarily.

If Cartman or Gaskell were to lose form we have Armstrong, Dowson, Thompson, Kneeshaw and hopefully Purewal who can all step in to pick up the load.

Given Thompson and Mitchell play in midfield and chip in with goals I can only presume the OP means goals from central midfielders.

Turnbull / Scott are going to sit so there's only really Portas, who actually started the season with a few but since he picked up his first niggle 6 weeks or so ago he's struggled. Once he's fully fit he'll be knocking a few in again. As others have said, when you have 5 or 6 players capable of scoring 10+ over the season you're in a pretty good place. I've never once looked at us and thought we need more goalscoring threat. Aren't we second top scorers in the league overall yet only Cartman is anywhere near the top scorers list in the division? That tells you all you need to know.

if the drought (of not scoring 5 a game) continues we can always just throw Mitchell Corbyn in...

[Neil Johnson]

Kneeshaw will probably score a decent total from midfield and create goals for others with his good passing.

Being TOO reliant on any front two is a concern, as defences are a stronger & more clued up in this season's league, so some midfielders need to push forward more often.
