Who thinks our strikers are good enough?

This is just repeating what has gone before, but is also totally correct, so worth saying again. A big striker was the one position DC never mentioned in his list of requirements throughout preseason. To me, it was the biggest need of all.

We offer little or no threat in the air, up front, and corners and free kicks are almost a waste of time to us. Ellis wins his share of headers, but spends far too much time either defending ( thank goodness) or out wide.

Trouble is, we have no decent facilities to offer newcomers, at least at present, so who would want to come here?

Gafney averages better than a goal every 2 games this session.
I think he’s good enough for this level and I think Harrison is too.
But that’s it so I do think we need at least one more.
Nichols isn’t strong enough isn’t quick enough and his movements poor.
His controls good but that’s it.

So why did Nicholls score 13 for Posh last season? Perhaps we need a big guy alongside him, like he had with Posh. 

As with so many previous strikers, if you don't play to their strengths, you might as well not buy them. 

I love how Ellis defends for us, but I much prefer to see a striker up front ffs.

Out of interest how many Div 1 sides play with a "big" striker, I thought yesterday we had a decent goal disallowed and also hit the bar twice, which sounds like we were unlucky rather than poor upfront.

Totally agree with this Bris, as everyone knows our defence has been the problem for some time now.
Bit disappointed with Nichols but still time for him yet, mind you I was saying the same about Luke James this time last year and that didn’t end too well!

Agree, and I hope we negotiate a contract expension with both Gaffney and Ellis (if contracts run out at end of season) sooner rather than later as I don't think either would struggle to find a new club. Both are quite capable of 10 to 15 goals a season in my view and that would cost a lot of money to replace. If we are not going to play Telford then an addition would be helpful but that would have to be a loan in the January window as I suspect that the big centre forward, who some are calling for and who can score is going to well out of our price range. Until we get a squad that can play 4-4-2 then I really can't see how Nichols is going to fit into the team.   

I know, but you don't go from being a good striker at one club to a poor one at another without wondering why. The main  difference is we don't play to his strengths. If Ellis is played out wide, what use is lumping the ball in the air to a bloke who is about 3foot 6 ins in his socks? It ain't rocket science.

The other reason is our midfield genius Lines creates very little, but at least we have finally dropped him. But saying that, DC will probably drop Parts next week for having a good game.

Harrison has been out only consistent player this season imo.

Fixed that for you.
