We've struggled to score goals for 3 or so seasons now & I don't see this season being any different given the start we've had & the squad we've got.
I can understand the passion & optimism but we need to be realistic. Last 2 season we've been way off & the squad we've got this season isn't blessed with goals.
Just try & look at it from an outside view for once rather than giving it the same old, yeah this players looks a world beater & this youngsters got great potential. I just don't see us having enough clear goal scoring chances to finish teams off. You need to remember we're at our best in the big games i.e. City when the opposition comes at us so we can break & get into their box, we struggle to break teams down when they invite us onto them, so this passing & possession style is just gonna let teams sit in front of us & say go on then lets see what you can do, going on the 1 experienced striker we've got who misses more than he scores we probably won't do much. Realistic!
