I want to see us get a striker who can score goals regularly. It might mean a change of style in the way we play but it would be worth it.
Will does need to learn that part of the game and he will get better, but I dont blame Will for some of the failings of Beccles who I don't beleive is as good as some commentators have made out. Obviously we are not in the market place for the best and we have to work within our budget. The biggest paroblem we have is in the defensive area so people are always going to focus on that and shipping 6 goals is not going to help. I have on many occasions complained about the lack of goals but I do believe that Mandron has been a good signing. If we want that 20 goal per season striker however, we need to improve Mandron and develop our own. At the moment we have Porter, Dale and Kirk who can score goals without ever being prolific, we have missed a few goals from Powell this season which does not help, but essentially we have to make better use with what we have, we will never buy our way out of that situation, getting a striker is easy getting a striker who can score goals is not easily done or affordable.
