We have strikers. Taylor, Grabban and Silva to name three.
It's CH job to get at least one of them firing and scoring goals.
Yes it would have been nice to have had an even better one than what we already have but to suggest that we don't have any strikers is wrong. We do have some.
Silva played exclusively LW and RW last season for Aris. Apart from a handful of games a couple of seasons ago at CF for West Ham u23s. can't call him a striker.
Yeah and Matty Cash is a midfielder but it didn't stop us selling him to Villa for £16M as a right back did it?
The problem is, no matter who plays 'striker' for us just isnt allowed to play the strikers role very often. Normally our 'striker' is to be found out on the wing chasing after a long diagonal punt from one of our full backs or holding up play in the middle of the oppositions half, waiting for support from our midfield, when it should be our midfield being in that same area allowing our 'striker' to get further forward. We never allow or play sufficiently well in bringing play forward enough for our 'striker' to do his job inside the box and sadly, when that has happened in the past, those chances have been wasted
Good points.
We got very lucky with Cash. But maybe not. He was bit ropy to begin with at RB but adapted and the rest is history. He could play nearly anywhere with his energy bunny style of football. I would have liked to have seen more of him in CM to drive Forest forwards. A player whose energy have missed in our lethargic malaise since him leaving. And only further highlights why you need quality fullbacks to start a season. Home grown too!
