It's not about getting a goal scorer in. It's a question of style of play and tactics.
Ritchie Bennett has been sidelined and he is the main target man, holding up play, winning knock downs, bringing Reid into play. Reid relies on Bennett, but he has been replaced by Dalby, who has been next to useless in the games he's played. To the point where we may as well had 10 men on the pitch.
I've been critical of Bennett for his poor finishing, for missing 2 open nets, but take him away and the team suffers massively.
Simply bringing in a goalscorer or a fox in the box type of player, won't answer our problems.
We need Bennett alongside Reid, or ideally someone who can do a similar role as Bennett, but is a bit better at finishing. A bit like Dickenson or Elding (during his first spell).
