    Duracell got a reaction from May Contain Nuts in How do we solve a problem like McGoldrick(s replacement)   
    Sometimes prolific strikers can be a detriment to the rest of the team. I always thought that with Darren Bent in our side we ended up scoring fewer overall, as the whole team was geared to getting him at the end of moves and he offered absolutely nothing in the build-up.
    Not the case with McGoldrick. He was our number 9 and our best number 10. He had the ability to finish moves that he often started himself. 
    We're replacing two players, not one.

    One thing you do have to give credit to Warne is getting fully stuck in with our traditions as a club. He’s fully immersed himself with our annual Lent/Easter collapse in form.

    Honestly surprised we're 5 pages in and only one person has suggested Bloomer.
    273 goals in 419 top flight games, and 28 goals in 23 England appearances. With that ratio, if they played more international games at the time, nobody would be able to touch his record. He remains the second-highest goal scorer in the top flight, beaten only by Jimmy Greaves.
    A lot of the players mentioned were outstanding, elite players, but there were other options out there if you missed out on them as a target. Bloomer was the footballer of his era, a cut above in the same way as Ronaldo or Messi are now. It's remarkable that someone born 150 years ago before the age of celebrity footballers made such an impact on the club that we still sing about him before every home game.

    This season wasn't a free hit when we got rid of the free hit manager and replaced him with a League One promotion specialist on a 4-year-deal. We firmly nailed our colours to the mast when we did that.
    I think we're witnessing a painful regression to the mean. We were clean and clinical in our run of easier games but it's starting to unravel because our squad is too disjointed. 
    I don't agree that we "should" be pushing top 2. Almost every player in our squad wouldn't look out of place in a top 2 side in this league, but our squad is too much of a weird mix of grafters and tidy footballers for us to trouble the more coherent sides. Doesn't help that half the squad is learning how to shave and the other half is eligible for a free bus pass.
