Rovers search for a striker ends with Cummins (i assume) his goals per game is better than Aaron Greene so hope there i suppose and we definitely make more chances than Cork so again reasons for optimism there but it is amazing how poor the strike rates are this year, you would expect someone to have scored a few.
Duffy and Parkes have decent strike rates and you'd think based on stats alone should start more often (has juliet been injured ?)
It does show one thing if any team (Cork and Maguire being the most obvious example) can unearth the mythical 20+ goals a season striker this league is winable due to the lack of strikers in general.
