Don't disagree. I did say based on what we currently have.
Strikers make a huge difference though. A good defence stops you getting beat, a good attack wins you games (more often than not).
Stick Fallon and Cureton (even the not trying very hard one) upfront with out current 1-9, add in Corr and I'd say mid table comfortably. That's how much difference I think it can make. We'd have been a laughing stock in 2005/06 if Fallon hadn't suddenly discovered he could play football. As it was we were mostly soft.
the strikers were not the problem that season it was the woefull midfield plus the long ball tactics to a midget because the inexperienced defence was being over run.
Adams/Easton/Peacock/Zabooub/Roberts is a better midfield than Pook/Migz/Shakes/Brown. Strikers are only as good as the service they get and I am pretty sure that Barry Corr plus either of the other 2 strikers would score goals as long they were getting decent
service.
I think Sturrocks main strategy is to make us difficult to beat and hope that confidence builds and then the goals will come.
