Many of us said this in the summer/start of season.. We could see it a mile off.

We are light as fuck and some players are simply not good enough either.

Shankland and butcher very much the main men just now and we are certainly set up to let him score but in most cases, shankland didnt get the ball from nowhere and skin 10 boys then score - somebody played him in, crossed it, set it up etc.

For instance, the ball for shankland last night was brilliant. Without the weight/height/direction of the pass, hes not scoring it.

Be interesting to see the assist charts

I agree with the sentiment.

But if we lose Lawrence Shankland to injury or suspension for any length of time and i don't think we will be winning many 'as a team'.

That we are so heavily reliant on one man for goals is a big concern for me.
 

First season down was Murray (19) & Andreu (18)

the drop off was then to Mikkelsen (8) Fraser (6)

Second season McDonald (16)

drop off McMullan (9) King (8)

Last season Clark & Safranko (both 15)

drop off - McMullan (7)

Nicky Clark or Appere need to be getting in on it now. If one of them could get 12/14 goals it’d make all the difference.

Double figures from McMullan would be great.

​But likely they will both be stuck further wide with the formation which will make any decent goalscoring more difficult......dare I say, the formation makes shankland look even better/makes his value look higher?
