Guess what Ernest. Neither do Parrott and Riis at the moment
I am aware of that but would any strikers have done better with the service they have had?

No idea we don’t have anyone in top 50 for dribbles. But he’s more of a get a yard and deliver type isn’t he?What position is he in the league for running at defenders an taking them on? 🤔
I am far from convinced about Brady ??? Honestly what is that fella bringing to the table , I just don’t see it
Admittedly, the service has been poor and was virtually non-existent on Tuesday but having said that, when they've been presented with chances they've usually fluffed them.I am aware of that but would any strikers have done better with the service they have had?
That’s a very decent shout but I wont be holding my breath unfortunately.Woodman

Our strikers are lucky to get one chance per game, they're not Haaland, they'd need to have something like a 90% shot conversion rate to score goals in this set up.Admittedly, the service has been poor and was virtually non-existent on Tuesday but having said that, when they've been presented with chances they've usually fluffed them.

I know we didn’t sign the required striker but 3 goals in 9 games must tell RL that he needs to shuffle the pack?
I think we’ve reached a point were there would be more benefit trying to playing on the front foot and losing rather than sitting back and drawing.You'd think. But because we're playing top of the league Sheff Utd I fear it will be safety first again.
Don't entirely blame him to be fair; with the squad available, play to your strengths (defending) not your weaknesses (attacking).
Well done Peter.
I don't think Riis is worth his place at the moment. Problem being what is the alternative? His appetite for the game doesn't appear to be right at present. We are carrying 2 forward passengers, but it seems Parrott is the only one getting the flack.
Yeah, but on the flip side Yoowell….Surely there’s got to be a bit of ‘tweaking’…..we have scored 3 goals and Sheff Utd have scored 17.
Apart from Gillingham (2) we have the worst goals scored record in the EFL.
And guess who their only clean sheet came against? 🤔Yeah, but on the flip side Yoowell….
We have conceded 2 whereas a lot of teams have conceded well into double figures - Hull have conceded 18
I did think that when I was typing it…And guess who their only clean sheet came against? 🤔
Riis would score goals for any other side in this league.In the first half Riis, who isn't known for his aerial ability, got up and won 3 headers to flick them on for Parrott. The latter only really read the last one, nearly got on the end of it and that caused the defender to skew the ball out for a corner.
There was then a great opportunity to create a good chance. Parrott left of centre had the ball in space, Riis made a great run into the gap between the centre halves for the pass, but sadly Parrott's pass didn't beat the first man.
Riis is still making those runs. The problem is we're not finding him 90+% of the time, or worse still we're not even looking to find him and choosing safer options instead.
I don't think that there is any loss of appetite from Riis. Maybe he just gets a bit pissed off from time to time with how we are playing - I know I am.
How's Liam doing?Best thread in ages this one, I would go 3 upfront need to fuckin attack
