Where are the goals coming from?

By lad you have a lot of faith and it’s quite refreshing tbh. I’m not doom and gloom because by the end of August I’m sure things will look a lot healthier but best front six in the division haway man?
Best front 6? Where did I say that marra? Have a look at the mopes who scored goals in our best ever league one scoring season - and the totals they got. We've got players capable of equalling those figures now. Lord knows we need more but this myopic view of how we get to the 80+ league goals isn't borne out by most teams reality.
 
People have convinced themselves ross stewart is something he isnt so its going to be fine

There are very goals in that side. Tbh therea very little in the side. Its the worst squad we have ever had
Is at the minute, be a complete different side come end of the window, waiting on for decent players rather than do what we’ve done every season and buy a load of dross. Just be patient and trust the process man KLD not here to look bad I know.
 
We could score 100+ and still not go up. I read on here there’s no chance of promotion if Burge is our starter.
 
Genuinely don’t think Stewart will cut the mustard as a main striker.
Neat and tidy in parts but not a goal threat. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he gets 15 this season.
 
We scored 70 league goals last season and it wasn’t enough. 48 of those goals were scored by players who have now left the club.

How are we going to replace that lost output? Which players are suddenly going to start scoring goals in quantities they have never managed before?
CW only scored his goals because they were put on a plate by AM.
We will score more this season

I think you said it during the Harrogate thread? Anyway I would rather read stuff like that than persistent negative stuff.

That front six should be capable of competing with the very best in the league yeah. There won't be a pair of wide forwards than geads and Gooch for instance. THE best? Difficult to predict that with confidence but I'd be more than happy to see them line up for us versus Wigan. Five of that front 6 are capable of 5+ goals for instance. Could get double figures out of two/three of them with a following wind. If we can add more goal threats to the squad we'll be able to get towards that number.

Very valid and very worrying post...we need a striker.

Would love to see Jebbsion here but that rumour seems to have run out of steam.

OP is spot on.

Stewart could be brilliant but could also be terrible. It’s a massive step up for him to be the main man at this level. He’s also got issues keeping fit.

The recruitment this summer has been shocking.
 
Not many serious answers.

Pritchard 10 in 5 seasons
Evans 9 in 10 seasons

Clearly these two are unlikely to contribute many.

Maybe O’Nien, Neil and Embleton could manage 6-8 each from midfield and Stewart will hopefully score 10+.

After that it seems to me to be wishful thinking that other players on our books can dramatically improve their goal scoring.
Make sure someone in your household hide all the knives
