The lack of strike power is a real worry. Murphy played as an extra striker in the last few minutes today. Is it time to try him there for at least an hour?
R.Red..'If you don't score you don't win !'...this obvious maxim from the late Sir Bobby Robson rings true tonight. We can talk tactics and posession until the cows come home, but unless Leam can unveil a method which will produce enough goals to beat or equal opposing teams OR someone who knows where the net is, then the end-product could well be disastrous...sorry if I appear to be slipping into my 'writing on the wall' mode again ..but like you I feel a worry coming on !!.
