The above article is very telling of our season so far!! Yes we need a midfield general/creative player but we also still need a striker who can put the ball in the net on a regular basis!! Our shots total is respectable but the number of goals is patheitic by comparison and our on target percentage is even lower than Blackpools!!! So yes we do need a striker, as well as another midfielder!!

I only partly agree with that, the belief has gone as regards scoring goals and attacking play, but so far the defence is still holding up and keeping us in games. Of course its only a matter of time before that confidence is shot as well but if we can just score a few more goals we will win games because of the good defence.
Our number of shots inside the box is the lowest in the league. Most of our shots are from 30 yards so it is little surprise that we don't score many.
Eventually our defence will come under more pressure because they know that one mistake means defeat, which might mean that they make more mistakes soon.

No manager will play those two up front because of the lack of height, which is needed to defend set pieces. Nuhui does a good job defending set pieces.
SG sees Lavery as a winger.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
