der Berliner 3,615 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) We had 25 shots on goal tonight, 10 on target, about 5 were what we call 100%ers. Similar stats for the game against Peterhead. What we have is one senior centre forward, a youngster (Hardie), and two chaps (Clark and Miller) who are running all over the place and oftentimes in the right direction too (Miller that is). Neither has been prolific last season though. There sure is place for another centre forward, on loan or otherwise.

RANGERRAB 3,510 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We need 5 players for one position? We need someone to play alongside Waghorn up front. I think young Hardie will go out on loan somewhere. Clark will be offloaded somewhere if anyone will take him. And Miller will see out the final year of his contract here but won't play every week. That leaves an opening for someone to come in who can get 25 goals per season. You can see by the stats we're not scoring enough goals for the chances created. MW isn't stupid. He will be fully aware of this. He will bring someone else in before the transfer window shuts 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Kenny Miller under proper guidance has shown throughout his career he can score easily. He's getting on a bit now without losing too much of his ability. Nicky Clark looks up to him and learns from him. Nicky looked a bit lost without him tonight don't you think? Miller after just 2 games produced big time under new management. Kenny after all his big moves and money rewards still looks better than anything we've had since Boyd/Jelavic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,208 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There is only one strikers spot, and that belongs to Waghorn at the minute. Miller and Clark don't start, but Warbs has a tendency to bring on a striker/forward for a winger at the hour mark. Miller's movement and good positioning got him two goals against Hibs, which I can see being his role this season; Clark is similar IMO (not ability-wise, but in the role he'll play). Both will be deployed wider, which only leaves Hardie for the main strikers position. If Warbs thinks Hardie is good enough then we've probably got enough forwards this season, but if not I think there will be another signing. While a loan signing may not be the most desirable signing, I think it might prove useful to get cover for Hardie and let him go out on loan, so he's ready for next year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,510 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We play one up front though so we don't. I think we need to start playing two strikers up front. For just now we should go with Waghorn & Miller IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
