During our slump/blip (delete where appropriate) we have heard the usual nonsense trotted out about the fact that we are 'lacking ambition' because we didn't sign another attacker during the window. Same people I am sure who still think we should have splashed out millions on Wells (2 goals so far this season) The fact is we did 'splash out' on a an attacker who's main asset allegedly was to use his speed to get in behind the defence - Gray. We saw it splendidly against WBA and against Cardiff and ...err.... well that's it really. 5 goals from 20 appearances is a pretty poor return. (Garnished us a few points I'll grant you that, but still) We were supposed to have three different types of strikers 'Poacher' Austin (ahem), 'physical' Dykes(ahem) and 'mobile' Gray (ahem ahem) So while all three have struggled this season, I don't think the club is at fault - all three are costing (or have costed us) a decent wedge and I think all three need to up their game on the run in.
