In reply to: Henry1879 's message, "Broken record here, but everyone can chip in, not just attackers. Where is our set piece threat? It’s not unreasonable to get 6-8 goals off defenders throughout the season, I don’t think tete is offering enough going forward at the moment and might be worth giving Cast some games. Even mediocrity from corners/free kicks should mean our CBs chip in with 4/5 between them, they’re capable, just need to work on it in training. That then takes pressure off attackers and makes us more rounded." on Thursday, November 07, 12:53:26pm

And just to add, I think McTominay would have absolutely filled his boots in our team. God knows where he would have played, but you can absolutely see sense in our reported interest in him. ESR and Wilson's goals this season show how set up we are for those with an eye for goal and the ability to time runs into the box (NT) -- eganonoa, Thursday, November 07, 01:45:26pm (sp49-106-117-102.ksi01.spmode.ne.jp/49.106.117.102)
- We get far too preoccupied with who actually scores our goals, it genuinely doesn't really matter. If Raul is occupying 2 x CBs as he does a la monday night, then it frees up more space for wingers and attacking MFs to score. I'd love to see (on that very point) more goal threat from the other MFs and defenders. Last season for comparison we got 7 goals from defenders and 6 from deeper lying MFs (NT) -- Jim© The Devon, Thursday, November 07, 02:15:20pm (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
  - Fun fact - in one of our 2 record breaking, 100 point seasons (Keegan), our top scorer only scored 15 goals. yet as a team we outscored everyone else in the league (NT) -- Same Old Story, Friday, November 08, 09:15:43am (NoHost/90.241.124.131)
    - That's kind of my point, they were flying in from everywhere- is that the season Symons got double figures? (NT) -- Jim© The Devon, Friday, November 08, 10:59:14am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
      - Just so. You and SOS will recall that Saha, even when not in a scoring period, would habitually occupy two defenders based on what he could do. (NT) -- Barry@ENF, Friday, November 08, 03:46:58pm (2e400676.skybroadband.com/46.64.6.118)
