May would do well at our level, but then he should be doing well for the Owls. What do they do to these people? Or are they fatally attracted to nearly men?
I'm not so sure we need a striker. We do have several. Midfield and defence look more pressing to me. If we keep having 20 goes on goal each game we'll score some.
Last season our problem with scoring goals wasn't just the quality of the strikers!! Under SG we played negative, boring football that saw our strikers tracking back or having to move into midfield to get the ball. Add to that our lack of any flexibility in formation and that we played with no recognized wingers (Lavery and May both played as wingers by SG!!
) its no wonder our scoring record was poor last season!!I do think May and Lavery have the ability to play in the Championship and they certainly have youth on their side but their confidence must be low due to the way SG played them and the team as a whole. It seems that our new head coach will be playing either 433 or 451 with realistically only one place for an out and out striker and currently Nuhiu and Joao are ahead of both of these guys in the packing order and when Bus comes back from injury may drop even further. They need to go out on loan, get their confidence back by scoring goals and prove they have a future with us.
