Where will our goals come from ? - RedPassion.co.uk

Red Light · 30th July 2019, 14.40:43

OK - can't hold back any further - after our poor goals for ratio over the last two season's where do we see our goals coming from ?

Can we score enough to stake a genuine promotion challenge ?

Teams who have often done well have usually had two big contributors from the forward line backed up by a fair spread of goals from other positions including midfield and defence.

I don't see a great change in personnel in the middle of the field so doubt much will change from there.

Make a prediction who you think will end the season as top goal scorer(s).

My options in order are :

JJ Hooper
Leighton McIntosh
Mark Harris
Bobby Grant
Jason Oswell
Shaun Pearson
Devonte Redmond

And can any member of the current first team squad score over 20 goals ?

I have only seen the performance at Cefn Druids - others who have witnessed at first hand the performances of the team in the other pre season freindlies may have formed their own opinions - do we look like we have solved the scoring problem or are we still too lightweight and lack a certain cutting edge in the final third ?

What does everyone think ?

If we are defensively as tight as last season then we would only need 8 - 10 more goals than last season to win the league if results went down a similar path.

Redmond I can see getting a few plus when fit Oswell as well. I can’t see a 20+ scorrer in the squad though.

Hooper

Oswell and Hooper. Although if style of play is like last two seasons it'll be the same again.

Unless they have improved last years crew consist of Pearson and maybe Wright but off the bench. Ruthers can’t score, Oswell has this groin injury but could provide a few.
Grant, Jurys out so hopes are on the new boys.

Oswell had a double inguinal operation, mesh inserted, not a groin injury but it can cause constant, ongoing pain and take over a year to settle sometimes still giving mild pain for life

Just looking at his wikipedia. page.It says Oswell is a powerful striker with good aerial ability and hold up play,It must have been written in his welsh premier league days.

I have been talking to a Grimsby fan whilst I am on holiday and he doesn’t think Hooper will be the man to steer us to promotion.
