Well, it seems that the majority of people on this thread think that Lambert and I are wrong.

 

Why did we try so hard to waste those scarce funds on Elliott Bennett in January if what we really need is a million pound striker instead? Any twist you put on it, Bennett is essentially a midfielder.

 

I know which company I prefer.

I agree, but McNally made it clear that the big money target was Bennett.

 

Lambert may well have been after another striker as well, but improving the supply line was clearly his priority in January.

 

Steve Bruce may well be right in his assertion that when seeking promotion from the Championship one can''t have too many strikers.

 

But as I said it is hard to fault Lambert much since he''s been with us.

The point you make is a fair one Bly and I for one would not doubt Paul Lambert, that said I am not sure who he would have dropped to slot Bennett in (I am working on the assumption that a big money signing would be the second name on the teamsheet after Holt), maybe he was going to play one up front?.....

Wasn''t at the Burnley game. But by my reckoning against Millwall we still created some pretty decent chances even though we werent really at the races for long periods. I counted 2 decent sighters for Lappin which he slammed over, Jackson''s 1 v 1 against Forde and Holt had the odd opening as well. Looking at other games where we have come unstuck like Hull we missed a lot chances there. Martin in particular when he went through 1 v 1.

 

Its a bit tough to criticise the creativity of the midfield when Wes, Crofts and now Lansbury have weighed in with a lot of goals. I personally think we are a quality striker short of seriously challenging for automatic promotion. And if you dont believe me how come Holt is still scoring goals if the service is absolutely terrible?

Haven''t seen a stream of the Burnley game, only listened to it on the radio so that must make me a poor fan. Saw three Prem games plus the Swansea v Cardiff game which could have made me a bad partner only she''s as footy bonkers as me so I guess it does mean that we are saddos with no life.

Came on here to learn and discuss but I''ve seen all this before, hugely enjoyable for some I''m sure but it does get boring after a while honestly. At the end of the day you massively knowledgeable fans all represent our club and you get stuck in a ever decreasing circles.

Some of you will say "well don''t read it then" but it''s not an answer cos you can''t just filter it out. Why don''t you try to persuade each other to your opinions and be willing to be persuaded?

I''ll get my coat.

[Salopian 1]

The Daily Telegraph today, as most Mondays, publishes league tables, and then for each division the "leading" clubs for various things like attempts on goal, fouls, etc.

On attempts on goal we seem to be regularly in the top four of the Championship, and not far behind the leading team. Today we are 280 or so attempts for the season, the leading club 307.

So on average we are attempt 9 per match!

Week after week we see shots lifted over the bar because of rushed attempts, headers missed, (- how many has Barnett headed over?), and shots straight at the keeper. There has been some poor finishing throughout the season. Even Holty is guilty of poor finishing on occasions.

I think that you could make a good case for the thesis that we would be out of sight of other teams if the defence had not made so many errors, and is still making.

I go along with your thesis in part because the midfield is partly at fault, however. On the days when we seem to be lethargic, as we have been frequently recently, and especially when teams come to stop us playing, the midfield is at fault for being too slow to get the ball forward. By the time we reach the penalty area it is packed with opponents, and we lack the skill to unlock the defence. When we are at our best, however, we play rapid one-touch passing, which cuts through defences.

Bennett''s contribution would have been to get forward quickly and cross the ball to our arriving strikers before the massed defence is in position and our players are closely marked.

[nutty nigel 7,537]

Salopian''s table makes interesting reading. It rather reinforces a point I made earlier in the thread. Football is a team game. Strikers have to defend and defenders have to attack.

 

I compared us and Cardiff as Cardiff were mentioned in this thread and I have been told on other threads that Cardiff have quality strikers.

 

Cardiff : 296 shots - 139 on target - 48 goals.

Cardiff strikers (Including Bellamy) Bothroyd 15, Bellamy 8, Chopra 6, Parkin 1, Keogh 1.

Cardiff defenders : Naylor 2, Gyepes 1.

 

Norwich : 316 shots - 144 on target - 47 goals.

Norwich strikers (Including Hoolahan) Holt 11, Hoolahan 8, Martin 4, Jackson 4.

Norwich defenders : Martin 4, Nelson 2, Barnett 1, Drury 1, Ward 1.

 

Food for thought there, football is a team game. I wonder if Cardiff fans have threads about their defenders not chipping in with enough goals.

 

As for this thread - I don''t think it''s the supply line or the strikers as such. I think what Lambert is trying to add to the side is pace.

Maybe so, but that doesn''t alter the fact that his prime target in January was by all accounts a pacey midfielder rather than a pacy striker.

 

And wouldn''t the introduction of a pacy creative midfielder like Bennett have the prime effect of improving the supply line - either for ths main strikers or late arriving midfielders?

I reckon he''s as much of a striker for us as Bellars is for them. He''s certainly a goalscorer!
