Easy folks - long time reader, first time responder!

To suggest our recent failings relate to Chris Martin is interesting to say the least! Aren't footballers continually surrounded by speculation? Could it just be that Tom Ince's incredible goal scoring run masked the lack of goals from elsewhere and now he's stopped scoring, the lack of goals from others is causing us to be more reliant on our defence?

We've just scored one goal (from a penalty) in our last three? Do we need a goal scorer to help Ince?

Welcome! Please post more!

Agree we need a goal scorer who can play 90 minutes (sorry Benty), Ince looks unplayable, but only in short bursts. Unfortunately, Vydra doesn't seem to be the answer either.

I'm hoping Mac can find the right man (Martin or otherwise), even if it's a loan until the season ends.
