He doesn't make enough runs into the box, which is our real problem at the moment

Chris Martin is more of a link up player than anything else.

If you are looking for out and out strikers then it has to be either Holt or Jackson (most likely Holt if just one of them) who both have good movement in the box. Our midfield are good anough creatively, they just don't have a good enough strikefore to supply.

        Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 18:35:57
        
        fact is we are not going to have a squad filled with Premiership quality (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 31, 18:38:00
        
        Exactly, this season is sink or swim on many levels (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 18:44:01
        
        On the plus side, the attitude of the squad has been exceptional (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 31, 18:45:36
        
        I think a couple could have worked harder at times, but every player has generally (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 18:49:48
