Of the season I feel.
Ladapo was OK today, finally got his goal, could've had a hat trick. But we just don't have the quality in and around the box to finish chances.
I can't for the life of me think that Ahadme would've been on any lists in the summer. We've taken a punt on him. He maybe OK but we needed a proven goalscorer and it's dissapointing considering we've supposidly got cash to spend, but we just didn't do it. |  |

That's my fear as well.
Another game where we created lots off opportunities and openings, but not punishing teams.
I still think we'll go up, but we've really got to start being much more clinical. |  |

Yep spot on. I find it frustrating people think being part of the build up play and being a goal threat are mutually exclusive. That chance where the ball gets pulled back to him on his favoured foot he has to take first time, the header he has to score. The shot for his goal was hitting the corner flag. |  | | |

Isn’t that why we signed Adhame or however you spell his name.
Let’s give him time to get fit and tried in the team first. | | | |

You can get away with a Ladapo uptop if the ones behind him are on it, today Harness and Chaplin just didnt get into the game from an attacking sense. |  |

We've scored nineteen goals this season, which is second only to Sheffield Wednesday (20), albeit level with Portsmouth who have a game in hand. Scoring doesn't appear to the problem - it's keeping clean sheets. One against Bolton and two each against Barnsley, Wednesday and Plymouth. Nowhere near good enough. | |

We've created enough chances to win that game today and Bolton, Barnsley and Sheff Wed.
You can't realistically expect Chaplin and Harness to continue their goals output. We need a striker to score 15 goals. | |

Chaplin had always been a striker, he just wasn't on it today. | |

I said that but was told we have enough goals in our team to compensate that,Harness Chaplin Morsey. | | | |

I think it is clear we were looking to sign one.
However, we have scored in every match this season (frequently more than once), are the only team to have scored at Home Park this season and are 2nd in the league 1 point off top. It doesn't have to be all about one player scoring all the goals (although I am sure someone banging in 20+ would have helped). |  |

Echoes of 2014-15 when we failed to take a punt, Cannot expect Harness and Chaplin to deliver goals every week. Statistically proven over the years that a CF has to contribute 15-20 goals a season. | | | |

Murphy was scoring fun first half of that season. The Jan window hasn't happened yet. |  | | |

I thought ladapo did the holding up play, challenging well, but you can see he isn't a finisher. I'm guessing that's why he might be better in a 2?
Agree we needed a goalscorer and as you say, I think we got a bit "desperate" and took a punt on this Burton guy. | | | |

Ahadme won't have been a punt with this management though. They would've carefully considered what benefits he would've brought to the team. He has already scored goals this season and I expect he will too us too. Ladapo will hopefully also have more confidence, which is crucial to a striker. | |

I have thought that but if we thought they were over-priced in August, they are going to be even more so in January aren't they? Maybe there could be a loan deal that would suit the development of a player too that might be more realistic. | |

A team that can showcase a talented striker who we sell on for a large profit while bouncing between the Championship and League 1? | |

I'd say in this case we need what Plymouth have - Whittaker!
That run of his towards the end, leaving two (or was it three?) of our defenders standing ... reminded me of Jonno. |  |

Jackson, Ladapo and JJ have all scored 1 from that striker position. That's 14 goals across the season from the Striker's position. Jackson has also scored another from the forward's position. That people are genuinely looking at this team's goal output (on course for 87 goals this season and have scored in every game) as the issue is strange. Makes me question if people actually watched the game.
We continue to create lots of chances across the team, and we continue to score. Even out keeper hit the crossbar today! |  |

What, less goals from their team, less goals from their forwards and more dependency on less players?
Peterborough: Overall goals; 17, forward's; 11, Individuals; Clarke-Harris (7), Marriott (4)
Ipswich: Overall goals; 19, forward's; 13, Individuals; Chaplin (6), Harness (3), Jackson (2), Ladapo (1), JJ (1) | |

We did take a punt in the January transfer window that season, we signed Sears who scored 9 goals from 21 games. [Post edited 25 Sep 2022 16:35]

We have a striker who can score 15 goals a season in Ladapo. He has scored between 15-20 goals in the last 3 season he has played in league one. It just seems these strikers just can't do it for us. See also the likes of Piggott, Norwood, Pitman, Chopra, Scotland. Although fingers crossed that now Ladapo has finally got off the mark in the league he might now go on a goal scoring run.

Doesn't really matter what we think. If Gamechanger can afford a young striker and he gets us promoted his value may double or triple in a couple of years. These guys mean business I think it's just a case of how well we're doing by mid January. | |

And if we needed & got someone who'd make that difference at that point, payback time might only be 4-5 months! | |
