Push defenders around, win headers, hold the ball up, chase down defenders, create something, be a focal point of the attack.

Louis Moult and Danny Wright were superb at leading the line and causing the opposition problems without hanging around waiting for service.

Spot on - Reid and now Massanka both only want it to feet and are not ,in my opinion, prepared to work.

we need someone in midfield to get the ball to the strikers ,

they live on scraps all match ,

i think this has to be addressed first.

egg/chicken - its all about opinions and you maybe right.

If the offer to the 'target' has been accepted we should hear something today.

When does Massanka's loan end, if it's January will that mean we can bring in 2 forwards. I don't see what Massanka is current adding to the team.

Its funny though , when Reid played in the second game ?? at home , Borehamwood was it? he harried and ran everything down like a superhero , forcing mistakes and looked great in the air !
Not up against the best defense that night but seems to have gone into more of a limp mode now

I disagree.

The ball is hoofed from defence down the pitch, bypassing the midfield. I understand why this is done, safety first etc. However we need a striker (or strikers!) that reflect this tactic. This is the priority.

I would address the creative midfield issue secondly, though it could be argued that our defensive, safety first option means we need two defensive midfielders, so there is simply no room for a playmaker in there.

The right striker could make all the difference, it doesn't even need to be a 20 goal man himself, just the right fit to link everything together and get us firing as a team.

Waiting with great interest to see what Keates has in mind.
