    I thought that before the Birmingham game, but I looked a right tit after the game when we ended up having loads of shots with 8 on target.

    Only one up front though. I'd rather we had 2 up there.

    We will never score enough goals with a shot shy midfield and one up front, goals for column bears this out unfortunately :(

    Agreed, I'd have Paddy in for Perkins and Pederson up front with Jimbo on the bench. Getting ready to look a tit again.......

    Have a look at the stats from the Birmingham match mate. They show that we had more shots on target than in any game this season, so that blows your theory away ! It is the putting them away that we are missing.

    IMO not playing 5 in midfield is what's killed our season. You've got to have some top quality centre midfielders to only play 4 in the modern game

    That's one match though, I went against derby and Bolton and we were hardly peppering the oppositions goal so I stand by it. I can only comment on what I see pal.

    We are not putting our chances away because they are falling to a midfield who are not natural goal scorers. You need strikers on the field to score goals.

    We had 19 shots against Derby, although only 3 on target. We had 16 against Bolton, 8 on target. Similar to the record against Birmingham. We seem to have plenty of shots, and quite a few on target, but we just can't score.

    You know exactly what he's getting at though, Hassell, Dawson, Etuhu and Perkins perm 2 from 4 in the middle, not exactly goal crazy are they?

    I don't like using shot stats as a measure, especially when they aren't on target. if you don't test the keeper it's just smoke and mirrors cos it could be a goal kick and go down on the stats as a shot. Bottom line is we need two strikers on to score goals cos most of our midfield can't or won't hit the preverbal barn door.

    Can't argue with that, agree with 2 up front.
