To be fair, not many people in any position have scored for us.

It's amazing to think we have the leading goal scorer in L2 Also Campbell who scores within a few minutes of his debut And James Roberts with 4/4 Had Tyrone Barnett stayed he may well have scored a fair few too But defence nothing Midfield only Collins has scored Didn't MAPP suggest he wanted goal scorers from all positions scoring?

Surprised Mullins hasn't scored this season usually has some goals in him specially over the last couple of seasons for us & Rotherham, Riley another as he's a threat at free kicks, midfield need to add more goals hopefully Burns finds some form & get goals like Alfie did being a forward/winger

No goals from defence betrays a lack of dead-ball quality?

Their remit now is to pepper Clarkey with shots in case he nods off.

I always think Johnny Mullins is capable of chipping in with a few goals, but he hasn't done so for a while.

Dunkley seems to be pretty useful in the air and currently (although I've only heard on the commentary not actually seen) seems to be being used at corners and set pieces as a target man to win the first header. He seems like a good addition so far and I'm sure it won't be long before he finds the net.
I would be very surprised if we don't bring another centre half in this January. I like Mullins and Wright but more and more i think we need an Elliot/Crosby type player back at the club who is a commanding figure. Someone experienced, organized and with an obvious presence.

Dunkley's very good in the air, obviously tall but has a good jump too and really attacks the ball. The problem is that teams will soon find out he's basically our only aerial threat (maybe Hylton too?) as we aim for him from every free kick etc within range and just stick 2 men on him.

If that means dunkley takes out 2 big guys to mark him then that surely a good thing leaving someone else free ! Everyone knows John terry is good in the air and marks him, still scores a lot of goals with his head.

Yes that's the point, they have many other players that are good in the air (Ivanovic, Cahill, Costa, Drogba) so its not easy for the defending side. They can stick the ball in the box and any one of those could rise high to head home. At the mo we only really have Dunkley who is a danger for the opponents.

Hylton Collins meades are all over 6 foot. Whing mullins cambell are good in the air we do have options to aim at, it's not the attacking players that r the problem it's, the taker and formation ie no one dropping deep to pick up lose balls

Mullins used to get goals by coming short to the edge of the area and thumping a shot in. R corners r just so predictable, every time it hits the first defender or straight to the keeper. On the rare occasion we put in a long one, there's no fucker there. Really needs some time spending on it. And defending them as well.

definitely agree about our taking of set pieces, we are shocking, its like Sunday league level the amount of times we actually fail to beat the first man and actually get any sort of cross in to the box! But I don't think being tall equals good in the air. Mullins has scored 2 headers in 76 games for us, Whing 1 header in 92. Not enough imo to say they are big threat from set pieces. Of course with better balls in I'd hope this would go up, but even when we had Leven supplying the balls in I don't remember us scoring many headers.

I said on here a few weeks ago, that Johnny Mullins is capable of scoring more goals. Lets hope he can score a few more, it's important that our defenders help out and score (especially at set pieces).

Well, we seem to be improving in that area, over the last couple of weeks... There have been two goals at least,from dead-ball situations, which means it is an area that is being seriously worked on. I appreciate that the team have a long way to go, but there are signs that an improvement is on its way...
