Well we have had famine and feast over the last two decades from exciting attacking football, to some of the dullest and mind numbing football. I hope Sheehan's reign is based on pragmatic but attacking football-such as Brendan gave us.There can't be many other fanbases in the division, if not the league who have as much experience in witnessing how the particular style of play employed by a head coach can make a squad of players look much poorer than they are as us.
Anybody happy with the striker options we currently have?
Do we need to move players on and recruit further in this area?
I do think our striking department needs a shot in the arm.Anybody happy with the striker options we currently have?

I would like to see a striker in put it depends on moving players out first, surely.Anybody happy with the striker options we currently have?

Bianchini is a winger by trade, primarily on the right side.I'd like more gametime for Bianchini next year, he's our best player to lead the press. All of Vipotnik's faults (athleticism, energy) are covered by Bianchini, even if he's less of a finisher. Can't see them getting much gametime together, but they'd compliment one another well I expect.
He also offers something completely different to Cullen, Yates, and Vip through his pace. Cullen and Yates are basically the same player, so no need for both, finding a buyer for Yates is the issue
Agree with a lot of this post - except the bit about Yates finding good positions - he literally hides behind more physically imposing defenders and becomes invisible.On paper I think we have 3 striking options that each can score 10+ goals in Vipotnik, Yates and Cullen but I think we’ll be after someone who more encompasses the strengths of all three. We need someone who presses like Yates but can hold it up and bring others into the game like Vipotnik started to do. This player would also have to be a clinical finisher like Cullen. If we could meld them into one we’d have our perfect striker in my opinion.
