DO WE HAVE ENOUGH FIREPOWER TO GO UP????

The theory goes that any team looking to let promotion needs a 20+ goal striker. Well that is one player we certainly don't have on the staff. We have scored a total of 33 goals so far this season of which only 12 have come from strikers, leaving 21 for the rest of the team.

When we went up as champions three years ago our top striker got 9 goals with essentially one striker up top, there were goals all over the team which was considered a great strength of ours, now if we look at our present side it could be said especially after Saturday that we should be looking for more goals from the team as a whole. Up to this point in the season with Kenwyn up top we certainly did not defend from the front, however the with the collective effort from all 11 on the park, just maybe we can get into the play-offs and then who knows! :bluescarf:

We didn't the majority of the season we went up if the whole team can contribute with goals you can be ok but we only had helguson until Campbell came along.. but then again we were conceding a lot less.

In a 4-4-2 i dont believe we have. In a 4-5-1/4-3-3 we may have a chance

Nope, unless we could bring in 1 or 2 strikers on loan and saadi comes back from injury to turn out to be gem. The lack of firepower don't make it impossible to make the playoffs still but highly unlikely. I just think our squad is looking a bit thin at the moment, something I never thought I would say after the solskjaer era :lol:
