Mason Bloomfield consistently played in the league above and scored 11 goals in 21 games in this league last season, id say thats a proven goal scorer.tones wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 3:58 pm Brilliant. The season hasn't even started and the fans are already saying we don't have the firepower and where are the goals going to come from. Doesn't the club learn anything from season to season. If we don't score goals it doesn't matter how good the defence is we will only be see a run of 0-0 draws. For heaven's sake spend some cash on a proven goalscorer so at least we might win some of our matches, home or away!
Ben Seymour 37 games and 20 goals, again another player who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net. Yet you are still complaining?
We complained that Clifton didn’t score enough and wanted players who score goals and now we have 2 strikers who know how to score goals and have proven it before yet we still find away to complain… this time about the lack of influence they have in the build up.
I’m sorry but we have such a pessimistic and quite frankly ungrateful fanbase. A player who drops deep, links up play and scores 20 goals a season is very hard to find at this level, so unless you have a budget of a league 2 club then you are not getting a striker who can do all that… hence we have two different strikers, a quick small pacy poacher in Seymour and a tall more technically gifted striker in Bloomfield.
If anything this pre season has been a success, we complain about lack of depth and players not being ready when called upon or at the level required so Mel has made sure everyone has played in pre season so that they are ready when need be. We have lost 0 games in pre season and have had 9 different goal scorers, I am someone who would rather the goals are shared between 4-5 players than just have 1-2 players who score. Anyway no matter what happens in pre season people on this forum will always find a way to complain, win all our games 5-0 and the opposition aren’t good enough, play the same 11 each game and it will be why has he signed so and so if he doesn’t even give them a chance in pre season. There really is no winning is there.
