Latics_Fanatic Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Quite simple this one really - if we had a 20 per season striker in this squad, we'd probably be looking towards a play off place at the end of the season. As it is, without one, we will be bottom half for sure - and a couple of key injuries would see us in real trouble. We simply don't look like scoring - and I don't care if it's seen as moaning - it's a fact. The football's okay at present (and I mean just okay) but goals win games. Peter Clarke is the difference between relegation and mid-table... A striker could have us even further up towards the top half of the table. Problem is that Erwin and McKay are two runners, whereas we're in need of a poacher type down the middle to feed on their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen every game this season (including pre season) - can't see McKay scoring many at all - reminds me of Paul Warne - all huff and puff but no end result. Got to try Osei with Erwin for a few games now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nonaenever Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Did he ? Perhaps I'm not giving him enough credit - stats show he scored 18 league goals for us in 2 years and 3 months. Another site says 21 goals (league and cup) in 100 appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wasn't on my phone this would probably be a(nother) poll!!! With a shit team that might get relegated - the keeper. With a decent looking team that could maybe, just maybe push for promotion - the striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want predictions why not try the OWTB prediction league, playershare, Dr Kershaws benefit from all those wishing to be ridiculed. Have a look at the prediction league thread.
