The luck of the Draw...

or maybe its not so lucky!
A bit of a slow Friday afternoon and with the news about Angelo extending his contract, got me thinking that IF we had a decent striker to play alongside him, how much better we may have done already this season.
I was also reflecting on the number of dropped points so far and how we need to stop that trend soon if we're going to challenge for playoffs or better.
Over 1/3 (6) of our 16 games have been draws.
In four of those, we had been leading at some point by 1.
The other two were nil-nil's Vs a decent Torquay side and at home to rock bottom Chorley.
Only our win vs Yeovil (95th min winner) would I say we had been fortunate to gain all 3 points so far.
It shows that we now have a solid strong capable of competing with every team, but ultimately, the real lack of a killer instinct up front could be our undoing.
A few fans forums' ago, Peter Taylor said (in response to the uproar about Elliot Romaine being released) that we would have a forward line where everyone would agree he (Romaine) would no longer get in.
We're halfway there now with Balanta, just the other half now to sort.
