A little worried

Thu Aug 09, 2018 6:23 pm

I hope city do well this season and 17th or above imo will be a good season. However i dont know if we have aenough goals on our team so i am slightly worried as i think we are 1 striker short we didnt even name a striker in one of our pre season games. Now i do believe in neil warnock but still think we are short. Also a full back and 1 more midfielder and 1 more striker we need on top of qhat we have signed today.

We signed a striker who scored 19 in the championship last season. We have madine who was on fire but only lost confidence here after a penalty miss. We have ken whose our number 1 striker. Danny ward is there too.
If we brought a striker in we are going to upset somebody because a team like us won't be playing 2 strikers at a time.
Boro spent 30mil on strikers last season and Villa not far off that but their goals didn't fire them into the prem.
We are a good side with goals from everywhere.

I'd have been a lot happier if we could have signed a right back and another striker.

Still, it is what it is and let's see how we get on with what we've got.

I do agree and although I didn't expect a right back I'm surprised we didn't get a striker as warnock mentioned it a few times.

I'm not overly concerned on the striker front, I can see NW playing quite a few games, especially away from home without a recognised striker.
Would have liked an attacking RB though, someone like James Tavernier.
Squad is pretty balanced though, looks like two players for every position, so hopeful rather than optimistic that the squad is strong enough to attain Premier League survival.
17th will feel like a massive achievement.

I must have missed the ten minutes that Madine was on fire then.
I certainly wish him well if he gets his chance though.
