But we have Connor Wickham, who we are told is just like having a new signing. Call me a bluff old traditionalist but I thought you had to play to score ? Not many goals are scored from Nando's or the treatment table. I thought we may have learned our lesson and got proper back up for Benheskey who surely has his days numbered at Selhurst. Will Ayew bang them in ? I seriously doubt it another bang average striker that was part of a team that got relegated. Trust me folks I know my footy and this season is going to be a tough old b******. We witnessed what having Ward and Kelly on the pitch at the same time on the right hand side of defence leads to, basically Townsend ends up trying to play right back (a la Watford) because ward is out of his depth with anyone that can run at more than a childs pace, meaning we only have Wilf as a real attacking threat, and as Townsend is loathed to go to far forward (because ward is to slow), we end up like we did when Wilf was out and we only had Boliaise, teams just doubled up on our fast winger, and nullified our crosses into the box for Murray, now it's Benheskey ( what I wouldn't give to have Murray back.) Our style of play requires quick full backs and fast wingers ON BOTH SIDES, without this we don't have the same devastating attacking options from both sides of the pitch. On a plus side, was nice to see Mayer link up with wilf, why Roy insists on playing him wide left is somewhat of a mystery. Edited by Dannyh.V2 (29 Aug 2018 1.28pm) Some of the problems you highlight, apart from Benteke and Ward and Kelly next to each other, could be minimised with a change in formation that Roy us reluctant to do so we probably have to rely on getting those points when the personnel is available to play that way rather than as soon as we can. At least Roy can deliver than stubborn fools out there who can’t and persist with the same shyte favoured players and tactics forever until they’re dismissed (paid off handsomely).

We have had two windows to find another striker and bought someone playing in a Micky Mouse league who has already failed when he tried to move up a level. Is Ayew now expected to solve our problems? Every club he has played for has been relegated. Not good enough for a team who is looking to avoid a relegation fight.
