James had 3 shots / chances.A good strike well saved, another chance lashed
well wide and a tame shot from very close range right at the keeper I like his
pace, effort and enthusiasm but he can never be viewed as clinical in front of
goal , despite his goal v Brisbane Roar being a good finish.
The point being made is that, at present, we lack a cutting edge. Too soon to
know if this is fixable, either with another CF, Joffy and Bamford playing
well, players getting used to the system etc or if it will cost us big time
I try and treat pre season friendlies for what they are , a way of getting fit
and used to each other
