But, but Tony said we had goals in the team and that this was the best squad since promotion! Surely "our Tony" cannot be wrong? 😊

Three goals between them in the eighteen games since the closing of the January window. Pretty funny.

It begs the question, what has Daly got to do to get a start or even 30 mins?

JB made it clear post Northampton that it wasn't anywhere near good enough, "Ayunga clean through on goal and didn't get a shot away,not acceptable " Whatever happens this season there's going to be a clear out.

Strikers deserve the criticism as they aren’t doing enough in front of goal. However, they are feeding off of scraps and the creativity behind them is poor. Our crossing is either non existent or of poor quality. Our strikers are generally having to drop deep / move wide to try to make something happen otherwise they’ll just spend 90 mins watching long balls get hoofed up to them.
That said I’d give Daly a run as he looks the most natural ‘poacher’ we’ve got.

There have been more than enough chances over the last month and a half for both strikers to have scored more recently than they have. They are not doing enough. Agree Daly needs a run, but not sure it'll happen.

I think individually they all have potential but playing them all together as a unit is too much too soon.
I think Hanlan would look a lot better next to JCH and Ayunga would look better alongside an experienced No10.

They all end to go in the summer, sooner the better The players Garner/Widdrington bought in are contracted so, is Wael going to give Barton a war chest to pay off those players plus bring in his own ?

Can't really judge Daly until he has a decent run in the side, he showed he can finish prior to his injury and since then has not played enough to really judge him, needs a few games to prove himself but trouble is we do not have enough games left, just as well start him Sat with Hanlan and hope for the best.

Daly looked like the only player to be sharp and alert in the box; The first time I saw him score he reminded me of Bruce Bannister. He chased the ball in the box and made his own luck. We need someone sharp and alert in the penalty area. We cant rely on the current strike force which is obvious. Better late than never and we can only pick from the players in the side now.

Not sure he will need to. Here is my best estimate of the summer decision (out of contract/end of loan) players (16 in Total) Attachment DeletedOf these, some have said - Leahy and Rodman could be offered contracts. In addition to this, lets add McCormick as a very hopeful. So 3/16 remain. Here is my best estimate of the players under contract (Total 21) Attachment Deleted21 including a lot of youngsters that could benefit from loans to lower divisions. Those out of favour (for example Ehmer) will have some interest IMO. Despite not firing at the Gas he has lot of experience and historically has a good pedigree (at Gillingham) these teams getting promoted for example may be interested. You are left with a few fringe players for sure (Mehew, Hargreaves, Liddle, Koiki, Tutonda) but I can't see them being on massive wedge and could be appealing in the loan market. Not sure the reset needs to be a major £££ - depending on the price of quality JB wants/needs to bring in.

It's an embarrassing statistic that's for sure. I agree with others, I can't for the life of me understand why Daly isn't being given more of a chance. If he can't get game time when Hanlan and Ayunga haven't scored in over a month in a congested fixture list, then when will he ever get game time? I like Ayunga but he's low on confidence, and Hanlan well he isn't a striker, not yet anyway. Daly is the only one of our 3 strikers that I'd have any confidence could score a goal this weekend. If he's fit, play him!!!
