Mr.Reeee Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 5 minutes ago, Ro Sham Bo said: Exactly, we need an forward, not just an attack minded or forward thinking player or whatever you want to call it. Even if we signed Knox we'd have Dingwall, Anderson, Vaughan, Knox, Vitoria, Allan, Bowie and Smith. Of them only Vaughan looks like he could get 20 goals and that depends on his fitness which is a huge question mark. For us to be successful we'd need at least a handful of those guys to get to double figures in goals. I'd agree with this Bowie looks good for a few goals but seems to be getting played out wide so someone to play through the centre if Allan doesn't find his scoring touch wouldn't harm us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, and that's fine, but it doesn't mean that the forwards shouldn't be scoring as well. Statistically it'll be them to whom most of our chances land - and if we don't have at least one forward well into double figures by the season end then we realistically will be nowhere near promotion.

I must've missed that, but if true it's a huge boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 We’re going to have to hope we do spread the goals about as I’ve seen nothing to suggest anyone will replicate what Nisbet gave us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but I think that’s a positive as Vaughan if fit will hit 20 and we have more players capable of scoring this year along with the new formation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are his injury problems recurring or has he been unlucky with different impact injuries? Genuinely curious as he’s always looked a cut above against Falkirk in the past and someone I’ve always wanted us to take a punt on. Such a talented player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot on Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Don’t see who the goals are going to come from and don’t have a 20 odd goal scorer yet. It’s the one position we still need to fill I’d say. Still hoping for the big signing McGlynn mentioned earlier, just hope Celtic allow him to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was our top goal scorer two seasons ago when we were the width of a post from winning the league, out performed other proven goal scorers that we brought in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's had ACL in both knees, so incredibly unlucky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of bad knee injuries , he is a cut above and unless he was hampered by the injuries I expect he would have left us by now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Vaughan has been unlucky for sure but there’s no doubt he is injury prone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 We’re going to have to hope we do spread the goals about as I’ve seen nothing to suggest anyone will replicate what Nisbet gave us.We’ve been trying a bit of a new formation out in the friendlies. McGlynn will know he can’t simply replace Nisbet like-for-like. It looks like we’ll be harder to beat and to be fair we have scored 6 goals in 3 games so if we can have more players scoring, happy days. We’re a lot bigger side this season so would be good to see us become a real danger from corners and free kicks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith-radgie Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 All this chat of we don’t know where the goals will come from? We’ve not been short of chances and goals in the friendlies and having attacking options.We might not have a 30+ goal striker but would bet Victoria, Anderson and Bowie get 8+ each from forward positions.Throw in Allan, Vaughan, the raj ginger Dingwall + 1 loan potentially and we’ll be fine.I actually like the look of Anderson up top. Pace, strength and size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm not sure there's any evidence to suggest Dingwall is a goal threat. He didn't score for us last season and seldom looked like he would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
