All it needs is for AJ to get a long term injury and we are shafted, a very real, and potentially season damaging issue. It was mentioned on Saturday that the only person on the pitch to have scored this season was Platt.
I said just before the window closed we were still looking "thin" in terms of attack/goals,and that Scott was looking well off track,and that Didzy would play as little as 50% of games. I was shot down by a good number on here as talking rubbish as we only need one out and out centre forward and we have 3 !!! Last Sturday it all caught up with us. With JJ and Edwards out until at least late January, Crowley missing we are also very much lacking in creativity. The Damage is now done and unless Jatta, and at 3 others can keep the goals coming it will be far too late in January to salavage the situation in terms of a top 3 finish.
I'm terrified of Jatta getting injured. Season well and truly over if that happens. We definitely need one more striker in in January, ideally someone young and quick.
We've done remarkably well if you consider that we've been without our best player for months and at any given time we've had multiple injuries to key players.
As above. Although Jatta has a great goals per game record he is not Langstaff who should have been replaced during the summer. I have to say the people who have come in have done a great job so far but can they keep it up till the injured players come back. Did I read somewere we will be in the market for a striker in January?
Hopefully Cedwyn and Jeavani Brown will start chipping in a few goals and one or two of our injured players will return earlier than feared
Re. Didzy you didn?t say as little as 50% of games you actually said 1 in 2 (50%)or even 1 in 3 (33%). Looks like he?s played in 14 games this season which I believe is 66%.
So to date on Didzy that?s talking rubbish. However it definitely caught up with us at Crewe no doubt about it nobody could anticipate having Jatta McGoldrick Jones Crowley all out at the same time. No club is going to impress without their best two goal scorers and best two assisters.
Obviously the premise is right, but I don?t think the solution is ?we need another striker?. We don?t have enough people scoring goals even when Jatta and Didzy are playing.
Something about how we?re playing is actively discouraging players from getting into box. Go back and have a look at some highlights and see how few people are in the box when we cross the ball in - it?s usually only Jatta.
Signing a striker in January doesn't mean he will score goals, we won't find another Macca at this level.
