Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 9:28 pm

The chances we've missed are shocking

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

a player like bobby reid is out of his depth at the moment, at this level of football.

niasse looked rusty. i think when he gets a few games under his belt he'll score a handful. exactly the sort of signing we should have made in the summer.

it's easy to say we need a goalscorer, much harder to find one we can afford, and who wants to come to cardiff.

Reid needs a run. Looked sharp today just needs a goal.

We need our chance suppliers to be more precise and less greedy

I thought Niasse and Reid looked decent today they just need time to form a partnership.

Agree. Niasse holding the ball up so well makes us look much better.

they are both 'decent' players, but ultimately decent players will fire blanks against most teams in this league.

reid i'm judging on his quality for us since the start of the season. he simply isn't a premier league striker who will reliably work the keeper on a regular basis, let alone score.

niasse we can work with because he has shown some decent touches here and there, but another is needed, as zohore has been almost totally ineffective this season.

I agree. I thought Reid looked good making some good runs and strong in possession.

Think that is a bit unfair. We played very well for periods of time tonight. I think given time, Reid and Niasse will be a good partnership. Why we insist playing Paterson I don’t know..

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

f**k sake probably not a good look to have this as a sticky at the top of the message board under the circumstances isit.

Hello, we've needed one since the summer.

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:04 pm

I also think Niasse and Ried did very well tonight

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:06 pm

We haven’t had a shot on target against 2 bottom sides and really took the game to one of the big 5....

I’m more happy that Reid is creating chances. Might not be scoring but just like start of season actually look like doing something with him in side. Him and Mendez or josh we have a bit of pace...... there’s our channel

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:06 pm

For all his excellent work in the air, I though Paterson was our weakest attacking threat. A few times he squandered decent chances with wild long shots. Excellent movement infront of him from Niasse and Reid.

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:18 pm

We need to be starting with Reid as the second striker.

Patterson works his sock off but twice in the second half missed when looking to play in Reid was the better option. These two need to work on their link up play.

Niasse did very well in the target man role, but lacks a little sharpness in front of goal.

Zohore looked rusty but has the quality if he can get himself fit.

NML doesn't look like he can trap a bag of cement but can't half whip in a cross, and his inswinging finish was well struck.

We need a Goal scorer ASP ????? - We have not had a 15 goal a season player as most asked for here before a ball was kicked -
This Season for .... How many seasons ???

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:32 pm

Time is not on our side.

For all the comments about played well, nice touches etc still minimal goals scored and no points on the board to show for it.

Agree Patterson needs to be moved back towards defence.

Agrees i thought they both looked good together. Reid was getting into good positions and causing issues, hes barely played so we cant be too harsh on his finishing.

Niasse carried the ball well and linked up well with some nice touches. Hes definitely an improvement on what we have.

He’s right wing back who can win headers.

No other right back or right wing back has been in positions like that so much.

You need to go back to the days of McCormack - Chops - May be Jay .
Whitts and Ken Jones made double figs ( with the help of Pens ).

Our success has been on defence and players chipping in with goals over the last 5 years .

WARNOCK: WE WON'T SIGN A STRIKER

Cardiff will not be signing a frontman before the January window closes on Thursday, according to manager Neil Warnock.

Asked if Cardiff would be active before Thursday’s deadline, Warnock told Sky Sports: “I don’t think we will be bringing any strikers in. Emiliano [Sala] was the one I worked on for a couple of months. I don’t see anyone else that we can get that will be better than we’ve already got.

“We need a couple of defenders to supplement the squad, because we are short in numbers there. We are working hard behind the scenes to try and bring one or two in.”

Agreed, then I go onto twitter to see Charlie Austin is going to Blackburn or stoke... WHY ARENT WE IN FOR HIM, if the bids there and Southampton want him gone, they won’t say no, even though we’re relegation rivals, quality striker

Bit of an over exaggeration.

Unless we throw stupid money at players they won’t come here.

Good shape to the side tonight.the whole team looked sharp unfortunately as previously stated we are rapidly running put of time.

Re: Need a Goal scorer ASAP

Wed Jan 30, 2019 12:34 am

Reid is raw and I like it he reminds me of earnshaw

Niasse to me looked a little rusty around the box but looks great on the ball.

Still can't work zahore out if he's plain lazy or way out of his depth.

But yes a striker is needed.

How many free kicks did Reid pick up out side the with a possible shot chance ?

He's mobile and he's quick off the mark that's a sign of a decent striker he just needs a run

Giuseppe Rossi is currently training with United as a free agent. Yeah okay he’s not always been prolific but as he’s on a free there would be no big transfer fee, and if it can be sold to him as a last chance shot at the Premier League I’m sure we could get him initially on a deal until the end of the season.
