Perhaps it's the stats that are driving the club to look at a CB before a striker.
Attacking stats:
5th in the league for goals per match.
3rd in the league for expected goals.
6th in the league for shots on target per match.
Defensive stats:
8th for xG conceded (1st being worse).
10th for saves per match.
17th for clean sheets.

Some interesting unrelated stats. We're 2nd in the league for accurate long balls, behind only Fleetwood. And we're 23rd for possession won in final 3rd per match (so much for the press).
Why exclude the Plymouth game... When was the last time we scored 5 against a team with 10 men? I think I can remember a few times over the past few seasons where we didn't score any in the same situation.
It's not like it's easy to smash them in when a player goes off. We were brilliant that night, give the team some credit.
We'd already scored 3 when their player got sent off anyway. (Given he blocked the 3rd going in with his hand).
That was the second goal wasn’t it? Clare scored the third with his wonder strike.
Indeed although people saying it was only 1-0 are being a little unfair. If the red never happens it’s still 2-0. Not sure we’d have scored 5 because they wouldn’t have tired as much in the final 15 but I’d still have fancied a comfortable win
You do have to spread goals around games. There can be circumstances that mean you score a good number in one game and that is not repeated in others. I gather Curbs explained the principle on Saturday. Maybe another way to look at it is work out, and by all means be generous, what our defence and midfield are likely to contribute goal wise, then see how many our front players have to get for us to score 50 goals, 60 goals, 70 goals etc...
A positive is we don't seem to concede too many so we might get away with 60 plus to get into the play offs. Also, another positive strangely enough is a number of the goals we have conceded have involved very poor marking. That is a positive as it can be addressed. We also have a very good keeper for the level. He didn't look great in his first game but he has put that fear well and truly to bed.
Going negatve again, I can't get it to add up to 60 plus, unless we bring a new striker in.
If you can’t see that Stockley either doesn’t fit the system we’re playing or isn’t good enough for it, you don’t have a clue about football I’m afraid.
well said and 100% correct - there are still a few muppets on here who can't see it mind you - worrying more about a centre half or left back - we've got 6 players in the squad who can play centre half and one on loan we can recall

Why’s it upsetting you so much that others think we need a centre half more? Not as if anyone in here has influence on what we need, proper weird thing to get angry about.

i'm neither angry or upset
Just being childish then
Do you honestly think that there is anyone on here who doesn't think we need a Striker - It seems though only the "muppets" feel the need to keep repeating it every five minutes
Bit like children who didn't get the toys they wanted at Christmas so are throwing a strop whenever they can.

Well I’d only call a group of people I don’t know “muppets” if something really rattled my cage personally. Plus you can easily put a case forward for wanting a centre half as a priority.

Cos you’re talking to me, I think we need a centre half as a priority, don’t get childish if you don’t like people replying.
Why not just say “I disagree mate” again, you’re just coming off angry.
tell you what, if i cvan be arsed later today i will compile a register and they will forever be known as being on the 'don't see a need for another striker' register or the 'rest of the team need to chip in with goals' register - if that will make you happy?

I'm not touchy about it... I just think its pretty pathetic
I mean what are you... Someone in their 40s / 50s, perhaps have kids of your own, and your acting like an absolute idiot running around calling people names like your on the school playground - When you then get challenged to find proof into what your accusing you suddenly cant be bothered.
All because you cant agree with a differing opinion either

Calling people muppets and/ or clueless because they think we might need a CB more than a striker isn’t helping the debate, it’s just being unnecessarily rude. You might be right that we need a striker more, and it’s probably what the majority think, but there’s no need for vitriol.

think what you like, touchy
Isn’t that entire reason for you moaning? People thinking what they like.

possibly - people that are clueless about football shouldn't really be allowed to think and post what they like, which is why the register will be useful
