Quoted from acko338
We make loads of chances, but need a natural goalscorer to take them.

We have completely changed how we play from when Hannah was on loan and scoring for fun, so he's out in the cold.

Get Scott Brown back fully fit & on form and this team will vastly improve - his injury and poor recovery from it has been noticeable in team play and tactics.

The spine was in place when he started this season in strong midfield form - took a lot of strain off Disley, worked well with Clay as well - gone down after his injury, in my own humble opinion, others may think differently !


Same happened to Scott Kerr last season.

I think you are spot on regarding Brown, he has really struggled for form since his injury, I think it is a similar situation with clay who has been in and out with a few niggling injuries, I would say that Disley has been excellent since he came back in though.

Maybe not free scoring but he's scored more than any other player in our league bar three.

Nine goals behind Akinde in the league and his 12 includes penalties. Hardly prolific but just about acceptable for a target man. Someone else alongside him should have scored as many if not more by now.

Therein lies the problem. LJL has many assets but prolific goalscorer isn't one of them. Someone alongside him with the same amount plus a few more from midfield/defence would see us top of the table.

I agree to an extent. Only Disley and LJL have been doing enough in the goalscoring stakes so far this season. LJL's goals with a couple of extra each from the other attacking players would have put us in a much better position. I think LJL will end up just shy of 20 for the season but considering not even Reddy or Lump got more than that I'd say that is more than acceptable. Certainly expecting a target man to be scoring many more than 12 (plus the 2 in other competitions) at this stage of the season is asking a bit much in my opinion.

Genuine question; How many of Akinde's goals have been penalties? I dont know the answer but Barnet seem to get a lot of penalties

Twelve goals for a target man halfway through the season is well above par.

He's scored 6 penalties in the Conference this season. Therefore, he's only scored 15 goals this season as, apparently, penalties don't count towards a striker's tally.

I read it in this thread so it must be true.
