Shooting Practice

If we actually signed a striker/attacker who has a record of scoring goals then we would have won 4 nil yesterday.

I never want to see Brad Potts play upfront ever again.

In fact I'd have rather he brought on Rodwell Grant, even better the owner could actually provide some funding so we can play players in their correct positions.

Potts effort in stoppage time was a back pass.

I suspect Potts himself probably thinks the same!

It’s not that I am discrediting their keeper at all… there is no doubting he had a good game and earned his weekly wage because he carried out his job and did what was expected, but non of the saves were exactly Pickford-esque tbf mate. Admittedly he did well to keep out Hughes header and he also closed the angle on Sinclair extremely quickly when Sinclair was through on goal. I suppose he did have a good game, i just worry that if we need to create 7 shots on goal to score one goal then there’s only one half of the table we will be in, come the end of the season, and it won’t be the top half believe me!

It's great too see the team having shots at goal to be fair let alone finishing them.

There keeper also got a hand on Bauer's header.

I agree we need a proven finisher up front.

Shooting practice is most definitely required. We were stood right behind the practice goal at Mansfield when they did their pre-match shooting practice and it was dire. I'd estimate that 70% of shots (and this is with no defenders) went high or wide, or both.

If what you do right before the game sets the bar for what you do in the game, and I think there's a lot in that, then it's no wonder we can't hit the target in the game.

Shooting practice before a match is a bit like still revising in the school corridor five minutes before going into the hall for an exam.
A complete waste of time and trust me I know!😆
 
Would love a striker coach and I think Nahki Wells is someone we should at least consider. He would make a big difference to what we’ve got and knows this level. Would probably command 20k in wages to fit in with our top earners though, 2 year deal?

Not sure about Nahki Wells now, it almost seems 12 to 18 months too late, a bit like Nugent 24 months too late. We can't keep signing journey men and injury prone players that's got us the bloated squad we have today. There needs to be a game changer signing or two which will cost the owner. If we continue down the Connor Wickham, Nugent route we are just compounding the problems we face now.
