Stockley and Reid missed their fair share of sitters as well, Bowman does a great job holdinbg up play and stretching the defence with his energy and strength, he never promised goal. We don't have an oven ready goalscorer to back him up but I live in hope that Matt Jay can be that player, give him that role Matt, he's worth a try!

I agree, that is a great stat. And therein lies the problem; we have no recognisable goalscorer - We dont have a target man like Reid or Stockley. We were spoilt for choice when we had those two, now nobody in the squad fits the bill. I know Bowman has scored a decent few, but he's also missed some howling sitters! Is there nobody out there that Taylor can bring in, along the lines of Rhead, who more than adaquately occupies a big space!
Rhead's gone back where he belongs, as a non league clogger. He is not mobile enough for the way Matt likes the team to play either.

So he's the perfect solution to filling "the gap", Pete.😉

I'm not dealing with it very well, Mike, seeing people hanging there washing out in Victoria Street!

Hahaha!
You never know : there might be a bit of hanky panky in the bushes there one day, Pete :)
But I've got mixed feelings about the Gap, Pete Sometimes I think it looks country bumpkin and other times I think it gives it a bit of character. I'd rather have the Gap with trees and houses in the distance than have bleddy 'orrible portacabins

If i had to agree with you we would both be wrong

You can see people hanging their washing out in Victoria street but cant see our players being pulled / hacked to the ground in the box ! Your long vision is amazing.
Just a pity that the short sightedness isn't as good.

What we need is a 30 goal a season striker. Of course they all grow on trees and are abundant for clubs that have to stick to budget aren't they 🤨

Your post seems totally out of sync with the thread. Which post are you referring to?
