In the 20+ years of supporting city, I don’t think I can think of a more depressing set of forward options than we currently have.

Muskwe
Scott
Aitchson
Yannic

I was hoping I’d missed someone….

Even if you include Mitchell in that line up (he was signed as a wingback) there is very little, if any, goal threat and his season is now over.

Even in the days of dragging around the bottom of league 2 under Tisdale, we always had the odd forward player capable of getting a goal that we could at least get behind.

Tom Nicholls, Alan Gow, Alex Nichols are all from that era for example. None prolific but could come up with a goal.

Gow was of course a very good player.

Unless Trevitt connects well with a shot on the edge of the box, I can’t see where our next goal is coming from.

Are these the worst set of forward options we have ever had?

I not singling anyone out but some of seem to lack some of the abilities associated with centre forwards winning headers/flick ons/hold up play and making runs.I would try Cox up top with Yannic in behind.

Simply does not exist - heading in one direction - plus a substantial loss for this season with plumating attendances!
Just how much damage can one person be responsible for causing!
OR how much blame lies with the players!
We will probably never know!
