Question Wot..... no strikers??

Not accepting Pele as a striker - more of an attacking midfielder!

When I saw the team and the fact that Drysdale was in charge, I feared the worst before kick off

Appreciate we have injuries - is Josh Woods on that list?? - but, the team seems to lack balance at the moment.....

Colby, Di*n and Windass all on the score sheet tonight, just adds to the misery

One plus point, at the Cheltenham won tonight

On to Saturday

P.S. travelling on the day did not deliver........

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

I thought we did OK last night.Probably not much blunter than for much of the season.
Effort was there and I thought on points we merited a draw.
Pressures on a bit now and we'll be at DEFCON1 if we lose on Saturday.

Batten down the hatches its going to be a long winter.

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

I thought it was a better performance than at FGR, but predictably the same result.
Tommy Leigh’s undoubted skills were wasted running around on his own.
And I can’t remember Stanley getting anything from any of their many corners.

Also, predictable poor refereeing from Drysdale. Coyle got a yellow card for being fouled. Hamilton was pushed in the back and fell on the ball, and was penalised. Clark was shoulder charged down in the corner and, when he reciprocated, perfectly legally, the Wycombe player got a free kick for diving. It seems an established law amongst many refs that Stanley’s attacking players can be pushed and pulled with impunity.

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

i dont blame the ref ok he was poor, its the simple fact we have no real STRIKERS. we did play better second half but we have no recognised striker,we would have won last night if we had, imho,

Quite right Cashy the number of chances we could have scored at least three.We can’t keep selling our strikers and leave us with only inexperienced non league players .Going to be a long winter

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

The thing we do not know is, who is injured!?!

Lowe might be carrying an injury, so cannot start??

Same might apply to Woods?

Roll on Cheltenham

Injured or not injured I feel sorry for the lad.
Brought in and expected to perform from the get go having made a major step up.
One thing I do know is anyone carrying an injury shouldn't even be a sub.
Just got to suck it up - the squad is the squad.

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

Our stats from last night would have flattered Man City.
An incredible 62% possession, 17 shots & no fewer than 11 corners!
Never has so much domination & set-piece opportunities proved so ineffective.
We know what we need - someone who can convert possession into goals.
Erling Haaland at Man City is a prime example of the ultimate striker.
He doesn't go on mazy runs or dribble the ball past 5 defenders, he just appears in the right place at the right time to tap the ball in, usually after his team mates have done all the work. Result - 10 goals in 6 games.
I know what you're thinking - Haaland cost 60 million euros! Beyond the realms of fantasy - quite true.
But forget the money, the principle is still the same - we must put men (plural) in the right place at the right time.
After 62% possession & 11 corners, it's obvious we're failing to do this.

Re: Wot..... no strikers??

agree with all except the last line, anyone in position - the shooting is poor when in the right position.

True enough Cashy.
Oh how we miss the head of Paul Mullin & the feet of King Billy.
