drgoodspeak Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If only we'd had a recognised left back to come in when Forsyth was injured, it might all have been different..... "He spent £21.5m on players but remember, the club sanctioned those sales. He has had problems with injuries and with Craig Forsyth out for the season, he had not had a recognised left-back.

Re KP - thank God his work in instructing the strikers how to score goals can continue, I don't know what we'd have done without that hatful of goals over the last month or so....

RamLad1884 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Could be the start of a decent partnership hopefully, wassall and kp have a very good oppurtunity now to show they're ready to run the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had little. Not nothing. Which I grant, is a damning indictment of our creative midfielders/wingers, and as I say, there's plenty of blame there as well. The most blame in fact. However, it also doesn't ordinarily take a vast amount of chances to be created in order for our strikers to convert. Bent, for one, has certainly had opportunities, and Hartlepool aside, hasn't taken them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent, for one, has certainly had opportunities, and Hartlepool aside, hasn't taken them. I'm talking about chances created not games played. Two very different things. Preston at home, 16 shots 0 on target. How many good chances for Martin in that game did you see? Pull backs, good crosses, worked triangles around the box etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull backs, good crosses, worked triangles around the box etc. You're arguing a point that I've already agreed with - the midfield aren't giving them ammunition. Granted. How many times did Martin have the ball in their half? Hadn't used to be that he was 100% reliant on something putting it on a plate for him. Likewise, Bent, how many decent opportunities (goalscoring chances, not starts) has he had? Not a massive amount, but the one's he's had, he's not done much with. Many being similar chances to ones that he was scoring for fun last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I can't think of any for either striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off the top of my head there are a couple of obvious ones for Bent - Fulham at home, hit the bar off of Ince's cut back, and Bristol City at home where he headed against the bar, unopposed, from 2 yards out after a great cross completely took out their keeper.
