Six weeks ago we couldn't score in an Amsterdam coffeeshop. Now we are averaging three goals a game and they are coming from a number of players.
Are we really in need of one guy for the opposition to centre on or are we better with a lot of threats all over the pitch? I think the latter and would first spend on a good keeper instead. Goals against cost games. [Post edited 10 Dec 12:54]

I've not been Bazunu's biggest fan but he made some really good saves last night and bailed out our hapless defenders on a number of corners we were facing in the 2nd half.
He's improved this season imo and his distribution is a factor in our build up play from the back thats often leading to our best attacks.
I'd love to move McCarthy on and bring in some decent competion for him though as we know he'll still cost us points with his dubious shot stopping at times.
Your right about the goal distribution and Armstrong has shown yet again he's a top striker in the Championship after a period where myself included thought the game was up for him at Saints.
I'd still bring in a big tall striker though to give us a plan B and an outlet when we're under pressure and sadly there's no way I'd trust Ross Stewart anymore with his endless injuries and Downs is definitely not a hold up player.
A better CB who can actually win headers would be nice ...we miss Bednarek . | | | |

I was one of many that were calling for a decent CF under Will Still, but Tonda has changed the way we move the ball forward so much that I really don't think we need one because we are scoring more than enough. it's the other end we need to look at We'll have the option of moving to 2 up top to chase games if we need to when Ross Stewart is fit again.
I'm also for getting a Keeper in January, but only if there is a decent one available to actually improve us. |  |

Yes we still need a centre forward. TE has done a great job with AA but he's achieved that by not playing him as a centre forward. He plays more like a false nine dropping into space in midfield. That's great but it won't always work. It didn't work against Millwall because they blocked off the passes into him in those positions.
There will be games (and times in games) when we need different options - someone who can hold the ball up with a CB on his back and someone who can win headers in a crowded box. The more teams suss us out, the more we will need this option.
Pep made it popular to play with a false nine, but he knows he needs the traditional qualities of a centre forward too. Same reason Barca play Lewandowski and same reason we still need a CF too. | | | |

It’s a fair point but I don’t think you can ever have too many attacking opportunities.
AA is playing really well and is proven at this level but the jury is still out on Stewart, Downs and Archer.
I know Kieffer Moore has his admirers but I watched him miss an absolute sitter last night.
One of my criticisms of AA was that he wasn’t clinical enough but he seems very precise with his finishing at the moment.
Daddy Ings scored the other night too. We must be able to pick someone else up to help with the promotion push. |  |
