One massive failing of our academy, and before that our youth team, is that we can’t seem to produce decent strikers/centre forwards. Who was the last one we produced who had a significant impact in the first team? Can’t think of anyone after Sheron or Moulden. Kelechi maybe though he was soon let go when it became apparent he wasn’t top class.
It is a real blind spot compared to united.
Had high hopes for Thierry Ambrose at one stage but a couple of terrible injuries at the wrong time seemed to stall his development. He has now left the club.
Hopefully Liam Delap can finally be the one, like what I’ve seen so far.
But what could be the reason? Poor scouting? Inadequate coaching? Do we prioritise other positions? Or just unlucky?
It’s a strange one for sure
