    Accurate that Lancaster

    Thought last night was the first real time we really missed Cullen , his ability to receive the ball and keep it and also unlock defences with little slide rule passes was missing last night - they packed the midfield and went to a back 5 in the most and it very nearly worked , add in the pulling pushing cheating - time wasting they nearly got away with the three points. ( to be fair we do keep giving teams the impetus- twice again last night ).

    But I’ll say this for us - the will to win and drive on across the whole team subs included is a very strong attribute to have , I do think we need another striker to step up and score a few as if we get the goals to chances ratio up , they’ll be very few get anything from us.

    Happily Rotherham got exactly what they deserved Nothing from the game.

    They had a couple of decent footballers though in their team , left wing back who went off was rapid and decent with it .

    Ben Wiles showed us why we wanted him in August.

    We were a tad sloppy with our passing but in terms of quality we were streets ahead of a very decent Championship team.

    Charlie Austin or Danny Ings would have both scored hat tricks last night, out proliferation in front of goal worries me because we should be blowing teams like the Millers out of the water.

    From somewhere, VK needs to pull another couple of rabbits out of the hat and find a pair of strikers who have the quality of Benson and Zaroury, because golly gosh those two are the real deal.

    Our lack of firepower is causing me sleepless nights.

    I thought he made a difference when he came on and I still think his "goal" was onside.

    Dead right BT it does seem that way. But although JRod is top scorer and he is a local lad he just doen't do it for me he is not mobile enough it is the position that needs addressing asap.

    The number of balls that whiz across the six-yard box and don't get knocked in is driving me fecking crazy lancaster100. Tella was disappointing last night too. We need a proven "Charlie Austin" type player but where they are hiding at any sort of decent money I just don't know.

    When the World cup is over perhaps, we should consider bringing Weghorst back.

    The answer was staring us all in the face in the 100th minute.Dervisoglu would be far better than our Jayrod.More mobile and more skillful.Despite scoring a few Jayrod is still missing far too many sitters like last year.

    We can't k_c we simply do not have the potent firepower, but I'm certain Vinny will be looking to address that. We need to sort out these daft defensive lapses too, but like sinkov says, "Patience"!

    Jayrod and Tella are two of the highest scoring strikers in the league, you said yourself mon ami that Tella guarantees us a goal every other game, you say Benson and Zaroury are the real deal. We are top of the league by five points and top scorers, and still you can't sleep ? Clearly Horlicks isn't what it used to be.

    I think in January we should be looking at the 23 other Championship teams who have scored fewer goals than us, the answer to our lack of firepower, and your insomnia, must lie there. What about Pukki from Norwich, the lad who missed the last minute sitter at Turf Moor a couple of weeks ago, perhaps he's the answer ?

    We still have Twine, who has barely kicked a ball for us. Who knows what is wrong with him.

    There are a couple of players in the National League who are setting records. Maybe one of them?
