Its a simple game is football that involves winning by scoring goals, unfortunately scoring goals is not a new problem at Town
Promotion season just 56 goals from 46 matches
Last Season 28goals from 38 matches.
The problem has been staring us in the face for over 2 years and we didn't buy a proven, recognised striker in the summer. Now we MUST buy a striker in January if we have any ambition of retaining our PL place but this will come at a cost..
1) January transfer window means inflated prices for players especially as other clubs know we are desperate
2) The signing of a new striker will mean 3 players competing for 1 place in the team and assuming that means LDP and SM are dropping to the bench it means SM who was bought as someone who we hoped would improve and sell for a profit would be sat on the bench and become a depreciating asset
