Mr X Posted 6 October, 2021 Share Posted 6 October, 2021 Give that it's clear Armstrong, broja (loan) and tella are all strikers for the future. It's becoming pretty clear that we don't have the strike force that's going to get us the required amount of goals to stay in this league, Che works hard & I like his attitude but he is never going to be prolific and i see him as more of a supporting striker. Will we get someone in sooner (and the question of who?) Rather than later or panic buy around Xmas when we realise it's desperately needed ?

LiberalCommunist Posted 6 October, 2021 Share Posted 6 October, 2021 We have five games now against teams we simply have to score against, if we are going to remain a competitive team in the epl. If our strikers haven't got a few during this run, then I'm first on the panic bus.

Well, we will see. Obviously. But the point is that there is in our own (incredibly recent) history and in the other teams that have stayed up in recent seasons that you don't necessarily need a star striker, or even that many goals. That season with Austin and Co "others" didn't score. Hardly any fucker scored. It's quite a low bar. We still need to clear it but it is low.

Armstrong has yet to play a match; Moi has 3 goals from 5 starts (1 from 4 in the league); Tella 1 from 3 starts (0 from 1, against Chelsea, in the league), and I thought he did look a threat when breaking at Chelsea; Redmond has 1 goal from 6 starts, plus a very good finish for his marginally offside disallowed one. He has also played well in the past couple of matches. (Hope he can keep it up); Theo hasn't done anything of note yet, but has been out injured - which isn't an excuse for him. I expect better of him and hope he at least matches his goal/assist tally of last season (3/4 from 20 starts); Djenepo is at least able to beat a player and go past him; it's just that he then ends up beating himself afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 I think the key point is that irrespective of the number of goals scored so far by individual players, it’s not been enough to win a game and collect three points. This is why relegation is so easy to imagine given our form in 2021 so far. For me though it’s more about the system being played by Ralph - our squad is not suited to it. In fact the entire club is not. This is what needs changing the most and if that means saying goodbye to Ralph so be it. Lastly, we need a better coach who can focus on attacking moves. Rarely do we see any variance in our build up play in the last third. Rarely playing through lines. Strikers with their backs to goal most of the time. Set plays such as corners never appearing to be a threat (is JWP really that good?). The list goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy the Kidd Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 Having S Armstrong back as a 10 is vital I think. I will be pissed off if he puts him as JWP cover for the next few games, he needs to be further forward, Diallo can slot into the JWP role.

TWar Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 I'd say new attacking mid required. We have had hard fixtures though, if we consistently struggle to break down fellow bottom half sides ill be more worried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyNumber7 Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 Imo the strikers aren't the main problem, it's the lack of creativity behind them. Yes Arma missed one or two good chances against Utd but aside from that the forwards have been feeding off scraps all season. Redmond, Djenepo, Theo, Moi just consistently let us down with their end product. We badly miss Stu as he can make things happen. Given better service I would back A Armstrong to score at least 8+ goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 7 October, 2021 Share Posted 7 October, 2021 Clearly we need goals and soon, but there are several factors that need to be taken into account . This is not the worst season start that we've had - by a long chalk - despite no Prem. win yet. 5 of our 7 games - so far - have been against sides then / now in the top 7, and we took a point off both United and City, and a very " in-form " Wham at the time. Signing Adam Armstrong was a gamble (but justified IMHO), and we learned the lesson when signing Ché Adams that there is a significant gap between the levels of the Championship and the Prem. (example Norwich (1 point to date ) ...compared to their great finish last season. It takes time to adjust and we must give A.A. every possible chance in order to boost his confidence. Adams looked very good at the end of 20-21 season, but even he is "off form " at present, and we are not (as Ralph commented after the Chelsea game) .." a club who can spend £100 million in every "window"." The next 5 games should offer more chances to score and win matches and will be a good watermark as to the future success (or otherwise) ... of our strikers. There is no way (other than signing out-of-contract players) that we can sign anyone before January, by which time (hopefully) this thread will be long forgotten. The record books are full of cases of strikers who had long, " dry spells " without scoring before they finally got their act together. The " young" James Beattie failed to score in the first 10 games of 2002-03, but ended that season with 23 Prem. goals ....(and just one behind Thierry Henry ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st alex Posted 8 October, 2021 Share Posted 8 October, 2021 (edited) I think we've got decent enough strikers given a chance. Trouble is rather than play Adams, Tella, or Broja we're starting Redmond up front. My area of concern in the summer was the quality of our attacking midfielders, hopefully in January we might get that Fulham youngster who already looks streaks ahead of what we've got.

Convict Colony Posted 9 October, 2021 Share Posted 9 October, 2021 Dont think the problem is the strikers its been the awful service and quick transition opportunities they have been receiving from the wide forwards and midfield. I have high hopes with Diallo who is a naturally more attacking midfielder will push forward more than JWP and with Armstrong back both aspects of our play will improve. I think Adams will play more as well to help linking with them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Theo is dog shite, absolutely not good enough and a waste of 40/50k a week to our wage budget. Him being in the squad / first team is preventing players, such as Tella, from getting a game. Clearly, absolutely no one is saying Pelle would be an adequate replacement for ings. I also like Broja (although I’m not sure he’s a traditional target man), in fact I’d start him over Adams, but that wasn’t my point, was it? As I said, he’d be a better option off the bench than Long, who’s done exactly that in 1 game this season already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
