Not one to criticise the manager but. We lack quality/ natural goal scorers. We have decent wide players, decent midfielders etc but no goal scorer except Piroe. However Piroe can score goals and is composed in goal scoring situations but is lacking just about everywhere else. He needs service and he needs to be in the right place to get it. In the current system, if he starts, he is often to be seen wandering around the midfield and not there if we make a quick break. Bringing him later helps because he is given a job - score and more often that not he does EXCEPT when the manager takes off the players who are going to give him the service. No service - no goals. We have players who can score goals but they have other jobs to do around the pitch and when chances do arrive they are not consistent enough.

Hopefully we have last seaaons 2nd highest goalscorer DJ back soon which will definitely help with goalscoring
But are we getting any goals at all from half the team/ squad? ?
Ipswich got promoted primarily because all of their first team and many of their squad scored goals for them.
# top goalscorers.

8 different scorers so far in 8 matches. suggests we are spreading it around Baz.

I would say 2 goals Baz. Pascal's penalty and the other probably an own goal.

You forgot Mes Baz!

Ipswich had 23 different scorers last year; Leeds had 18.
Leicester, the Champions had 16.

Hooksie . imo an optimistic 9 goals in total between them.
02 Oct 2024 21:25:12
If they score 9 goals We will be Promoted!

I'm thinking collectively around 20, Baz.
Bookmark it, so you can laugh at me at the end of the season if I'm wrong ?.
