Our lack of composure in front of goal is what is costing us. For PVA and Andros not to work their keeper was unbelievable. The coaching and training team can do their bit, but it really is down to the individual inside and outside the 18 yard box...

I have seen better finishing in front of goal on the Purley Way.

PVA is a defender so always hit or miss, Townsend on the other hand should have,but our strikers seem to lack confidence in front of goal,even to the extent they dont take up goal scoring position,surly there must be a ex striker who scored regularly could pass on that knowledge

My thoughts go back to Scholes and Solskjaer who always seemed to hit the target.We could do with some of this at the present time.

I thought the PVA miss was worse as he had nearly the whole goal to hit, and screwed it wide. Could you ever imagine Ian Wright missing one like that, he would have leathered it!

I'm trying to be generous...the chances for PVA and Andros came on their wrong foot but they should have at least hit the target. I am sure every team says this but if we had put away a few more of the glorious chances that we have missed, we would be much further up the table.

I don't know what the answer is. I bet they practice finishing every single training session but it is though they all lack conviction. Maybe we do need to buy/loan a striker in January.

I actually think apart from goal scoring we are close to being a good team - when we have our best 11 out there.

We used to see Wright miss the target with countless shots, but he had so many shots a fair few went in and his confidence increased.

You must have a better memory than me, because I do not remember Ian Wright missing the target or not bringing a save out of the keeper from the sort of chance that presented itself yesterday to PVA.

It is odd isn't it. You can excuse the odd sitter being missed, but when you see chance after chance going begging you do wonder what is going on.

Even if you are not an out and out striker you should, as a professional, have the composure to hit the target, and preferably the back of the net when opportunities arise. At least some of the time anyway. And its not as if we haven't been creating some chances either.

But, as it stands, I make it 3 goals scored from open play in the last 10 games. A pretty shocking statistic really.

Yes, a proven goal scorer would help, but in the meantime others have to step up to the mark.

Bright and Freedman both at the club. Is this enough strikers in the backroom staff for you? Or should we perhaps get AJ and Wrighty in whilst we talk about it?

Coaching can only help so much. Players have to execute in the heat of the moment. I presume mostly this is in the mind.

I'm sure they can have some kind of input but admittedly they are not here in coaching roles necessarily. In particular Freedman is an everyday member of staff and should have some kind of say in coaching. Not sure what Bright's role is but obviously he must have something to say about our strikers when he speaks to Parish.
