The bad: Our finishing (yes we do need a striker to be a title contender)

The Nix will still clearly be second highest in the goals for column after the end of this round. Sometimes, like today, they dont stick - but after 19 goals in 10 games, our first ever club hat-trick and only the second ever player to score in four consecutive games the continual moaning about our lack of a 'striker' is bemusing...

Outside of the spanking of the Jets and City we are averaging a little more than a goal a game. We have blown 2 points today and have not picked up any points against the top 4 teams, in part,  because our conversion rate is typically low. In my opinion we will not be a genuine title contender without a striker - not only because of the improved conversion rate but also because the better teams will free less comfortable pushing numbers forward.
