Christ! Looking at that list and what we think we might get. Makes me yearn for mid-80’s

eg 1984/5 (all comps)

Tony Cas 20
David Shearer 16
Dave Mehmet 15
Martin Robinson 12
Terry Cochrane 7
John Leslie 6
Keith Oakes 6
Paul Hinnigan 5

Following season Cas again got 20+ in all comps. And we had 7 other players all got more than 5. Hales, Robbo and Shearer all got double figures.

Makes me weep about our scoring over the last 5 or 6 seasons. If we got just 1 player in double figures it’d be a miracle.

Teams are a lot more clued up defensively nowadays. I am sure everyone used to have a 20 goal a season striker but nowadays they are a rareaty

True. But take our 20 goal striker out of those teams I mentioned, and we still had 3 or 4 more strikers, wingers, midfielders with double figure tallies. And defenders who chipped in with 5 or more (Often 8-10 in Bruce’s case).

We definitely need to be scoring more goals than the last few seasons and if we could get 3 or 4 players in double figures we would have a very successful season. I haven't checked but I suspect more goals where being in the 80's then now.
 
If we can`t score goals, we`re in for another disappointing season. I`m sure GFC knows that, sure that GA knows that - it`s why I still believe we`ll be getting another forward in before the season gets under way 🤞
