However, a hall-mark of a decent manager is that the diamonds outweigh the duds. Curle has signed five strikers this season: Rose, Ashley-Seal, Edmondson, Miller, Nuttall. Only one of them (Rose) has scored a legitimate goal! A look at their respective track records suggests that this shouldn't have come as a glaring surprise.
If he had saved his money, offered Oliver a two-year contract with a pay rise and signed a proper winger/creative midfielder instead of messers Seal, Edmondson and Nuttall then we might be having a very different conversation right now.
Good post Bungle - that pretty much sums up our current predicament in front of goal.
But now with Miller and Jones being out - what’s the answer?
We don’t even have any set pieces up our sleeve!
Watson going on another goal mini spree?
Lots of dodgy pens?
Chuck finally clicking and coming out the traps like Hussain Bolt on Bisacodyl?
One thing I do know (I think!?) it ain’t gunna revolve around Rose, BAS and Edmundson!
