...you're having a laugh in my opinion.

Yes, probably if you look at CVs, pedigrees, names, previous careers etc, and yes, probably if you look at our defensive players. But, if you look at our offensive players I'd say this is the worst we have had this PL run, and this is the eight season of this run (probably on par with last season, since it's pretty much the same).

Last season though our defensive players over achieved in terms of goal scoring, last season we scored 43 goals, 11 of them (if I'm correct) came from forwards...

This season we've scored 13 goals in 18 games, 6 from forwards I believe, which actually is better than last season.

We scored 12 goals with Pulis and/or Megson in 14 games, 1 with Pardew in 4 games, no improvement as of yet (same squad, same players though).

Yesterday we started with a midfield that would have seen Pulis crucified, and scored a scrappy goal from a set piece.

How can we survive with these attacking players?

In my opinion we can't and therefore have to reinforce quite vigorously in the attacking department come January.

But, of course, COYB!
