In my view the reason we have so many non performing strikers is the shocking service they receive. Much as I love to watch both McGregor and Grealish they are both greedy buggers who seem only to pass to each other. JCR is good at making ground with the ball and appalling at doing anything useful with it when he gets into a dangerous position, and neither Boucard or Fotheringham are creative midfielders and playing them alongside each other compounds the problem.

 

if the Notts strikers (any of them) were consistently missing great chances or even half chances then I'd join in the slagging off. Frankly if we had Suarez up front he'd struggle to score if he relied on the Notts midfield to provide the chances. For me our biggest need by a mile is to bring in a creative midfielder to put the ball into dangerous places for our strikers (to replace Fotheringham) and a wide player who actually produces an end product to replace JCR who I find particularly maddening in terms of the number of times he does great work to get into the ideal crossing position then wastes the ball.

As I've said elsewhere, he's  good player when playing in a team setup with the formation based around him. Strangely enough our current formation would, on the surface, be ideal for him, but SD has seen him every day and obviously he knows whether DH is capable of filling that just behind the big guy role. The news of him leaving gives us a direct answer. In fact when Mac was still in negotiations and the role was there to be taken, when SD put Murray in instead the writing was already on the transfer notice!

 

Moving to Hibs? Not sure on the idea of that in comparison to the reasons about down south!

 

Does hopefully relieve more wages from the burden though.
