We're currently 2nd in shots on target per 90 and 5th in goals scored.
We need depth and competition, but performing well over the first 3 games and transferring our possession (currently #1 with 66%) and all other attacking stats.
I dont see us struggling for goals. It'll be how many we prevent, in my opinion. BBM's style is clear.

Annis exactly some people will argue about the terminology desperate is not the right word what would they say ,if salec had a relapse straight after the window closes, would we still not be desperate,
As I said he would be burnt out twice a week, and we need to change strategy sometimes and fresh legs

His arial power has taken a big nock of confidence before his injury he powered into crosses and challenges that is not there now.

He's definitely lost something since his injury, I've said that for a while & I think it's his brain telling him it rather than ability. He needs a few sessions with a good sports psychologist, or just a normal psychologist.

I don’t think he has a lot of arial power. Never has.
I think he’s very ordinary in the air.
I also think we need another striker because Davies isn’t good enough and neither is Robinson.

Cannot believe i half agree with you but I believe he was scoring quite a few in the air.

Probably all Tan and Choo's fault, going by reading comments on this forum

That would be disappointing as The Dictator was, after promotion, riding a bit of a crest, and hopes were/are high based on the promotion and our capture of a very good young manager

There will be anger but Tan wasn't riding any crest, the plaudits went to the manager rightly so. He'd have turned up for a game by now if he thought he wouldn't be booed out of the building. I think everyone here agrees it's time he sold up, the only disagreements are how much blame gets laid at his door.
