Our problem is a lack of goals.
We really only have May that can score & he is a constant threat on the shoulder of the last defender provided we can play the right ball to him, evidenced by the early chance at Cardiff.
Maguire can score from free kicks & penalties.
Nubui can score from penalties.
After that, we don't offer much of a goal threat. Our CBs don't score. Our midfield rarely score - Coke (1), Semedo (0), Hutchinson (0), Lee (0), Maghoma (0), Drenthe (0)
We don't seem to score from corners any more, We got the one at Boro (Nuhui's first) but that was more down to terrible defending than what we did. Why don't we take corners like the West Brom's second yesterday with the near post flick on taking out the keeper giving a simple nod in. We used to score loads like that in the Big Ron / Trevor Francis era.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
