A bit harsh IMO, i believe we have more options than that to score goals, fair enough we don't have that 20-goal a season man but Burnley went up last season via the play-off's and there top goal scorer was martin Paterson with 13 goals. We also have some of the best midfielders in the league IMO and have many attacking options from it, such as: Balanta, Vine, Buzsaky, Cook, Ephraim, Rowlands, Faurlin, Taarabt and others. We also have a solid keeper, and our defence isn't too shabby either. If this Pellicori ( who i haven't seen ) can chip in with a couple of goals, helguson can chip in with a few so surely with Pellicori/Helguson can chip in with a few goals we may be in with a shout.
If we play to our strengths, which is our creative midfield we could be the dark horse of our league this season. Our defence is pretty solid IMO. I think Ramage is quite hard done by because he isn't the worst player we could have. I have also not seen enough of Borrowdale to comment on him, our centre back's always seem to chip in with a few goals ( mainly Stewart ) so it's not the end of the world we don't want to pay £4 million for Beckford who is unproven at this level and give Lita £25 000 a week, and let him think the club revolves around him. If everything is not going to plan by the end of August then we can loan a striker or full back. I think we should all look forward to the new season and get behind OUR club. URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR's
Ramage is a decent centre back but his distribution simply isnt good enough for a full back. hopefully this can be worked on by Gorman .
It doesnt matter how good are midfield might be we still need a decent striker coming into the squad. I havent seem picadilly play, maybe he is the nutz but i feel it is unlikely given his record and at 28 he is unlikely to have much improvement in him. Taraabt is a different kettle of fish but based on last year he is no striker, again perhaps he can be turned into one, henry started as a winger after all but I think that will take time and time is one thing we dont have if we want to get promoted this season.
Either the club still intend bringing in more players (striker and left back) or they are happy for us to develop the team over the next couple of years.
But when you think about it, if the club were not intent on promotion this season why have we loaned taraabt? if they were looking at promotion next year it would make more sense to blood our own players and bring them through, balanta springs to mind here, or do they really think that they can do it on the cheap, perhaps they do.
its New Era number 8 i tell thee, bring on the fireworks
