Personally I think we have just ONE league 1 standard strikers and that is Long. January can not come quick enough!!

I think Richards is League One quality- he bagged ten goals for us in League One last season, more than anyone else. Waters, Iaciofano and Lobjoit haven't been given a chance. Revell should go in January, Bowditch likewise.

Richards WAS a League 1 striker, now a 20 minute substitute/squad striker.
The other strikers have every chance to impress in training but obviously haven't!

We'll never know if Lobjoit or Iacafano are League One strikers because they are not getting a chance. What's the point of taking the chance on a 60 goal a season non-league striker if you're not actually going to give him a chance? Granted he was signed by JED but he didn't give him a chance either. Sh*tborough pick non-leaguers up and they reward them handsomely with goals and eventually a large transfer fee. At least one of Lobjoit or Iacafano should be on the bench to give us an option. I'd rather see one of them come on to partner Revell or Richards when chasing the game rather one of the old men.

If anyone knows who is a striker its JFH.
Whilst I agree with you, by the same logic, I would argue that JED would know how to organise a defence. Its not always quite that simple.

JED did know a good defender he just had it in his head to play a formation that didn't suit the defenders he had signed. Personally I'd be amazed if another league club took a punt on him.

Caroline D was making a point about the players being tired yet I thought the second half we looked as strong as I've seen us for ages. We used to give up after 65 minutes under Edinburgh.

Interestingly when Alex Revell was interviewed after Saturdays game he stated that JFH doesn't like lazy strikers, so maybe both Lobjoit and Iaciofano are lazy strikers according to JFH. Also, probably explains the lack of game time Bowditch is getting, because he comes across as very lazy at times.

I'll take a lazy goalscorer over a Revell like workhorse who runs around a lot but just drags himself out of position by doing so

How many lazy players did we have when we won the league 2 seasons ago? The thing is, for a 'lazy player' to be effective they have to be absolutely brilliant. And if they are that good they wouldn't be playing for us in the first place. I love how this debate comes up from time to time; the first thing a player should be able to offer is to 'run around a lot', thats just a basic given that any professional footballer should be prepared to do. If they can't do that, they shouldn't be picked end of! I think your point is more about maximising energy levels and not wasting energy on sprinting when it will only have a very limited positive effect. I think its fair to say that Revs is guilty of that. But thats just the way he plays, he reminds me of Neil Grayson in many ways. The last 'lazy frequent scorer' we had from memory was probably Bobby Barnes, they are mainly a myth. The prem doesn't boast many Matt Le Tissiers these days either!

Paul Culpin was also an excellent 'lazy' goalscorer.

Eh, bit of a stretch to compare Peterborough's six figure signings from tier 5 to our free signings from tier 9. They're both non-league but from a completely different calibre of football.

I don't remember Gabbi being especially lazy, seem to be always coming deep to get the ball rather than wait for it. Forrester was probably the last effective goalscorer we've had who offered nothing else besides that. Do remember a few lumps upfront we've had you could describe as both lazy and complete non-threat in front of goal. Quinn, Constantine...

One my favourite players, over the last twenty years. He was a natural goal scorer, until Atkins stuck him front on his own.
