I'll take that to be honest, because when we hit both posts in succession I feared it'd be one of those nights when we squander every chance that comes our way and then lose to some saft late goal.
You'll struggle to find a more frustrating player in the squad than Rondon. Every time he has a good game and gets a goal or two under his belt you think it'll lift his confidence and he'll kick on to a spell of good form, but it never seems to happen. I think ultimately he's a Shane Long type: a solid player who'll poach about ten goals a season, but not quite the magician who'll come from nowhere to get you out of jail when you really need it.
So yeah, we probably do need that natural striker who can turn a few more defeats into draws and draws into wins. However, if that natural striker isn't available right now, or won't come to us, then what can we do except be grateful for what we have and soldier on?
