We pose no threat unless the whole team takes risks to attack. When games are still in the balance at 0-0, defenders must love kicking lumps out our lightweights. Our attacking play is weak, unimaginative, breaks down too easily and doesn’t make the opposition manager question his setup at all.
DCL might have been a better player if we hadn’t tried to make him a PL number 9 two years before he was ready. A full year with a strong Championship side would have been great for him.
Even if/when he gets fully match fit before Xmas, he wouldn’t be a starter for for Brentford (not just because of todays result - I’d take a streetwise athlete like Toney every time. Same for Mitrovic who is totally different but hugely effective). DCL could just be heading for a Welbeck career, but apparently is going to get us mid table then be sold for £80mil. No chance.
Hope we don’t go for someone happy to be a backup striker. We need to find a proper goal scoring nuisance, regardless of how sexy or exotic they are.
