Currently we have scored 16 goals in 11 games. That actually is more than most teams in the league. Krishna has 7, Roly has 3, McGlinchey has 2 with a whole host of others on 1 goal. Weemac never scores too many but I think Roly could score a lot more. Regardless, we seem to be quite reliant on Krishna. I think all the top teams have multiple goal scoring threats. If they don't have them on the pitch, they cn bring them on off the bench. We have some bench players who can provide impact but they don't look like getting late goals.

Roly scored one against Adelaide as a long-range screamer and one against Victory as a lucky rebound off Roy. I do not remember the third one. The point is that Roly is predominantly an attacking mid and not really a natural striker in the mould of Burns or Ifill, although he resembles them in his twists and turns a lot. In contrast, Sarpong is expected to be a striker but is so far not delivering in that department nor looking like he would assert himself over the opposition teams. On the park right now he reminds me somewhat of Brockie but without JB's nose for the unexpected goal scoring opportunity.
