We have also gone over 6 hours without a goal. What do you put this down to?
We have some good attacking midfielders such as Lee, Mark Davis, Wilshere, Gardner, etc so why are we scoring so few goals?
Is Owen Coyle getting it wrong by playing a 4-4-2 in most games with Elmander and Davies up front? Is he wrong to partner two strikers who have such a low scoring ratio?
Does this lack of goals highlight also the fact that Kevin Davies is no longer effective?

I just feel that if I was in Owen Coyle's shoes I'd be trying to sort this out and change personnel and leave players out if they are not making a difference. But it just seems the same old same old. He's given so little chance to players like Klasnic, Riga, Weiss, Gardner, etc, isn't it time he made some changes?

Because Owen Coyle has dropped the only two people in the team capable of scoring goals - Taylor and Klasnic

Assuming you're including cup games in those 15 games we've played Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham twice, Man City, Aston Villa and Everton. So that's 8 of those 15 games I don't expect to score, over half. It's not good when we aren't scoring against the likes of Wigan, Sunderland and Blackburn but you can see what he's trying to do. Rather than having a 3-3 one week and losing 5-1 or 4-2 the next he wants to make sure we keep the Against column to a minimum. A side effect of that though has unfortunately seen a dip in goals scored aswell but do you really expect much better from a strikeforce that consists of Davies, Elmander and Klasnic - who was injured for a lot of that spell?
