It's the word "feed" that's the issue... ;)

I wish it was as simple as that. There’s a reason that we consistently turn promising strikers into donkeys from Trelai Park.

Our style of play is not set up to be successful as a striker. One up top works with a top class striker that can hold up the ball and have runners playing off him.

The strikers we buy can’t play that role and when they try they have ZERO support from midfield.

Until we change our style of play, we will continue to be a strikers graveyard.

Cardiff has been a strikers graveyard for over a decade

It’s down to the way we play under successive managers we just don’t create enough chances and haven’t for 10-12 years!!

Do you think a simple change of formation with 2 up top would work out better for the strikers we have or is it just an overall poor system with poor players unable to work the system they're being asked?

I always wonder if Glatzel for example would of worked out better had he not been isolated same as Kanga/Robinson are being used now whereas the old Chopra/Boothroyd connection may work better for us give the opposition something to think about

Keifer Moore.

It’s certainly about quality. Against Sunderland created plenty.

Agreed

It's easy to slag off players on a keyboard. If you think about it though even Kiefer Moore's goals dried up when we lost Ryan Giles. The reason we are failing in front of goal is not down to personnel but rather the system we are using.

Anyone know the logic why we loaned that striker to Belgium? Is it financial fair play or something like that?

Frustrating as hell that one of our biggest investments of the summer (and past XX years) has gone straight to his mistress club.

It’s not just a striker our midfield haven’t got any pace
