Do you think our current strike force is good enough?

Straight forward question, but I don't believe it is. Gyan is a class player but not prolific, Wickham is an unknown quantity at this level as is Dong won. Personally I'd like Bellamy, lots of pace and a bit of edge that I think we need.

Not too sure as of yet. Would like another forward in but doesn't have to be bellamy. Hopefully we will get a few goals from midfield which is something we haven't had for a good while.

sessegnon is class,bruce has confirmed he is second striker.
bag of tricks

I'll be surprised if we score a goal against Liverpool. We certainly don't have enough goals in us. I can't see many high scoring games this season.

Bout the same as last year. Give them space to run onto and they'll all do well but we need the creative player to make those oppurtunities, or someone fast who can do it with his pace.

Think we'll do better from set pieces this time round though, so on the whole think we have a few more goals in us. But more likley to win points through strong defence and organisation and lots of posession than flambouyant attacking football I think.

Actually that's a good point re the midfield, hopefully with Larsson and Vaughan(and Sess) we might get a few from the middle of the park.

Ive got a gut feeling we are going to do shite this year.

Cant put my finger on it but just seems like problems we had last year have not been sorted and meh im pissed and being pessimistic

Which will in turn take the pressure off the strikers to bag every game. We have been reliant on Bent and Gyan far too much in recent times. Hopefully this year might be different.
