Problem with our strikers scoring goals?
Only 1 goal from open play by our strikers in the last 10 games, thats a concern.

This was preston away in the cup. That was from AJ.

Think we have an obvious problem with supplying the forwards with good balls, and also a problem with their finishing.

I agree. Without sounding too pessimistic, we have only played to our full potential in the games against Liverpool, Reading, Coventry and Sheffield Utd (and maybe a couple of others). We need more consistency - obviously regular goals would help. AJ hasn't quite been the same since his return from injury. Clinton was great when AJ was injured but is out of form. I hope that the combination of Aki and Hughes may revive us in the run up to the end of the season, to help create a few more goals for the front two, consolidate us in the play off and stuff preston in the play off final!!

Hmmmm. Hoof the ball to small strikers. Great.

And does it seem that AJ is the one ofetn supplying the last cross, but no one to get in on it.

When the wide players do get forward, it seems our front two are surprised and not ready.

Leicester at home - 90th minute - Leggy through ball - AJ scores!

THAT is the only time a striker has scored in the past 10 games being set up by a Palace player - Preston away AJ was set up by their defender!

I will keep saying it - Time to drop AJ.

This is a strange one. a 50/50.

Think we put too much emphasis on 'AJ this and AJ that'...weve become a one trick pony...hoof the ball and hope he chases it. but he is always always a threat.

Should it be Doug and Clinton upfront???? Worked reasonably well when AJ was injured....

No AJ doesnt need dropping. The problem comes from our our predicatable style of play and tactically aware opposition have an easy time snuffing out our main threats.
We continue to try to play a passing style which is too easily disrupted by some bullying and tight play on our weak midfielders, pressure on our defenders who have little choice but to pump the ball long to our short and weak attackers.
Either we need a target man for AJ and co. to work off or we find a way to give our midfielders more time on the ball.

And replace him with who exactly ? We haven't got another striker that scares the crap outta defenders with their pace. Oh, yeah, silly me, we've got Super Wayne.

Dougie and Clinton up front would work with AJ on wing to supply the crosses like he often does. His pace out does most defenders and the D&C combination worked well when AJ was injured. Can't see ID playing that formation though.

AJ off the bench after an hour.

He may be our best player but none of the other strikers are forming anything resembling a partnership - the only 2 who do are Dougie and Clint.

Trouble is we only have plan A and if that fails throw on as many strikers as possible. Oh and Plan A seems to involve a lot of long balls hopefully punted up in the air for AJ - Clever!

With the excpetion of AJ, our strikers are cack.

Freedman is past it, Macken is a fat waster and Clinton is a moaning old c**t who cant keep on side.

All this crap about us having the best strikeforce in the CCC, I could name 10 strikers outside of the premiership I would rather have than these 3 clowns.

I really dont think the game plan begins with lots of long balls GG, it comes later as a result of a weak and uncreative midfield and un-confident defence. As soon as our midfield starts to get bullied, we start to see the useless long balls from pressured and optionless defenders. ID needs to learn to adapt our style and keep other teams guessing

You mean have Plans B, C, and D?

Isn't that what i said? We have plan A that leads to long balls and then we throw on as many strikers as we have available.

Still Dowie is a god!

Freedman cannot play with AJ. He will very, very rarely score goals when he plays alongside AJ. The other strikers are lacking confidence. A strikers game is heavily reliant on confidence - if they don't have it, they won't score.
