We’re so, so short of a quality striker ! Other than that we’re not far off ! Molly needs a rest on the bench with TLT !

2 goals from central strikers in 13 games. Becoming a huge problem.

And that f**king control from Olusanya...

It’s Daja vu … the last three seasons has seen up beg borrow or loan it doesn’t  matter we have not got a striker other than our Billy .. he needs partner who can do what he does and take games to defences ,  hold up play and yes score goals .. help !!!

Just very poor recruitment, and i said this at the start of the season and got shot down. We've gone up a league but our strike force is alot worse.

As others have said why not try our own young players rather than the ones brought in.

Our strike force was better in league 2, I know we couldn’t get Street but the 2 we have signed are really poor and bad decisions were made on both of them. Letting Ironside leave again wrong decision his goal scoring record was better than either of the two new strikers. Both are not young players they should be better, I hope they make me eat my words but I’ve seen nothing of that coming close.

It's a concern.

I'm not sure who's meant to be getting the goals in this team. Aside from the Bradford game, our attacking players have struggled to make much of an impact this season.

We can't rely on our defensive midfielder scoring every week.

And Billy Sharp is somehow now our main striker even though he wasn't for large parts of last season in the league below.

Maybe worth starting sharp on the bench and bringing him on when opposition defenders are tiring

We are competitive but not at the top end just yet , we have players who are just not living up to their build up . Olusanya ( loan) has barely made any impression other than to weaken our chances of scoring . We don’t have Molyneux up to his best yet and no cover for when  he’s marked man and is often left without enough support when 2-3  defenders charge in . Crew hasn’t turned up yet but fingers crossed he’ll sort his game out . Hanlan clearly this must be a gamble on him getting his fitness back up to a competitive level. But it’s McCann who must be pulling his hair out at the teams failure to compete at this level ALL over the pitch and not just in pockets . 3-4 defeats on the bounce is habit forming .

Pearson MOTM surely. Maxwell and Grehan also good. Lots of ok performances but we were never going to score today were we.

Pearson lost his man for the only goal of the game. Doesn't get him MOTM I'm afraid.

Hanlan has played over 200 games in League 1.

He's only 28.

Surely he must have more about him than he's shown so far?!

Olusanya apparently missed a good chance today (going on what people have written) and missed the header at Spurs.
His first touch IMO isn’t particularly good but on the upside he does work hard and helps out by tracking back when we don’t have the ball.

We should start the game with the team that finished. Give them both a start. Close also has to start

Maybe his loan should be trunkated

I fell sorry for Olusanya, he has had 3 absolute clear cut chances in the last 2 games that any proper striker would score and he has fluffed all 3. He must be feeling it. A split second's quicker speed of thought and we would all be hailing him now. But that's why he is playing for us and not in the Premier League.
