How did we end up with a dud attack? - Page 2 - RedPassion.co.uk

Our biggest problem is the midfield, with no width nor pace. But our choice of strikers has also been poor.

Surely with the added revenue from :-
Stereophonics
Fa Cup
2 Managerial contract buyouts
Danny Ward payments.
Attendances 1200 over budget.
We can afford to get decent t strikers in next season, or will the purse strings be tightened yet again.

But no, we cant compete with Salford paying £400k for a player and paying £5k+ a week. We never will be able to compete with that.

I don't expect t us to compete with Salford , but surely we can afford better quality than what we have .

The problem is that we have had around 8 forwards over the course of the season and they have all been utter garbage.

I agree, but we have something like 9 forwards on the books. Issue is getting fewer better ones

Nor can anyone else. Rooney is an anomaly, even amongst bankrolled clubs.

Seemingly we can't land 10 goal a season strikers; but we've got a cracking collection of those who don't create or score.

Quantity over quality. It's questionable whether one is more expensive than the other.

The board won’t pay the wages for the ‘better ones’ that’s a fact otherwise we would of had one by now
