Fourth worst in this league.

And when you discount Sheffield & Burnley, who are playing the symphony on the Titanic, its a shocking indictment.

Of course the cumulative total is largely ascribed to the Croydon-Roy era. However, surely this must now be the biggest challenge for Glasner the Glazier ?

Of course, putting our squad onto an attacking footing may cost us in the defence statistics. And maybe Roy was conscious of a lack of quality & depth in our squad....choosing to play it safe.

We do not want to make a Brendan Rogers mistake....great at attack but leaving an open goal for Crystanbul.

And a goal from a set piece is as rare as a hens-tooth. But Eagles, we are looking toothless in attack.

The problem we have is that 2/3rds of our attacking trident are taken by players who are praised for their work rate above their finishing ability.

Mateta scored a great goal yesterday and was regularly praised for being a complete nuisance etc but, ultimately, he should have had at least two, probably a hat-trick. If he'd scored one of those other chances, we'd have won.

Similarly Ayew. Gets praised for never stopping running, his defensive work and winning loads of free kicks (although we're useless at set pieces) but his goal rate isn't good enough.

Unless other players come back from injury in the next three weeks, I think Edoaurd should start our next game in place of Ayew. He might be lazy but he knows where the goal is and then you can hopefully go a couple up and then bring Ayew on to help see the game out after that.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Nottm Forest went 2-0 up against Luton at home in the 76th minute and drew 2-2!

But I do agree with the point you are making.

Our DOF was a striker so should know exactly what we’ve been missing for the last ten seasons, we all fvcking do.

Today was a carbon copy of the Luton game. We score early....the opposition Is there for the taking.....and we just cannot score.

watching Brentford vs ManUre....i saw a small club with infinite confidence, aggression, drive and ambition. Never swayed by the quality of their opposition, they attacked for 99 minutes. And should, by rights, have won.

Brentford are slightly beneath us, in the table, but looked like an upper-mid-table team.
