Just thinking about our striker situation, and how some people still want us to sign a striker.

I was having a look at both Krishna and Powell and how they've gone this season. Turns out that they've now played almost identical minutes but Powell has played a lot more games. If you compare their goals to minutes ratio Powell is getting one about every 140 minutes whereas Krishna is one every 180. One of Krishna's goals was a penalty too, whereas Powell's have all been from open play. Krishna has 3 assists, Powell has 2.

Watson obviously hasn't played many games so his sample size is small but he's got a goal every 129 minutes and 3 assists as well.

Add Kosta to that and I really don't think we need another striker. Between those 4 guys in the squad there should be plenty of goals and assists. And we have 2 wide, fast small guys, a goalbox poacher, and a targetman. I actually think that our attacking stocks look really promising. Especially with a genuine playmaker behind them, which don't really have in the current squad.

The perception that we need to add a strikers to our squad is based on the time before we signed Watson and Kosta. And when you consider we are already struggling to work out how we get all our best attackers and mids on the pitch at once, does adding another striker make any sense? 

Add a couple of starting defenders to this squad though, and I think we could actually be title challengers. Exciting times!
