Right thats pre season out of the way and the real stuff is less than 7 days away but something which is grating on me and i am sorry to sound unsupportive but the lack of goals in pre season is there for all to see.
We have possibly unearthed a gem in Matt Smith but we cant hope he is going to get 20 odd goals in his 1st season as a pro.
Reuben Reid for all the talent he has doesnt smack of a prolific goalscorer, Feeney hopefully is off , Brooke just doesnt seem to have a big role in him.
Where does that leave us, as time has proved Taylor will chip in and i expect Morais to score a few but the backbone of any team who has got out of this league is having 2 strikers who chip in with 15-20 goals each, e.g Murray and Barnes @ Brighton, McClean and Mackail-Smith @ Peterborough and so on and son.
With Feeney possibly going maybe this STAR STRIKER will finally arrive, and if Reid and Smith can manage 15 between them then maybe we have a chance of a decent season ahead of us.
The sweet side of this post is it looks like we have finally unearthed a centre half parnership to rival past greats like Barratt and Jobson, cleansheets on Tuesday and Today as well as a centre half chipping in with a goal at least there seems to be some rock solidness to our back 4.
Hopefully a few new faces in the next 6 days will see some depth added to the squad and that elusive star striker will sign and i will be one happy hopeful fan.
