Norwich's lack of firepower

Recommended Posts

Much has been made of our need for a 20 goal a season striker.But comparing our statistics to tomorrow nights visitors,Stoke,their centre halves have scored 14 league goals between them this season,our centre halves haven''t managed a single goal!Our midfield is equally as pitiful,contributing just eight goals between them all season.Seems to me,that in the summer,we need to concentrate on buying a goalscoring midfielder and winger,plus defenders whoo offer more of a threat at set pieces.Anybody else feel the same?
