Disagree completely. 

Yeah, we've been awful up front for a long time, but Healey, See, Knox, Barr and Willis is much more promising. Some of them have played only a handful of games between them so if they stay fit there are good attacking options. 

Healey holds the ball up well when it's played to feet and he wins his headers. 

We have conceded nearly 50 goals in half a season. It is excruciatingly bad and is down to the crap passing and ball retention by our defenders and defensive midfielders. 

He wins headers to no avail though and I’ve yet to see him hold up the ball well granted he works hard but that’s no use. How many goals has he scored this season???  

With the exception of the Edinburgh city game ( 2 goals in last 3 mins) we haven’t scored in the last 5 outings! Granted some players have been out injured etc. But please don’t try and tell me the reason Berwick have conceded so many goals is purely down to the defence and defensive midfielders what a lot of nonsense, some of the relentless pressure Berwick have been under this season is incredible and that is due to the midfield as a whole gettin ran all over and then when the ball does go up top it doesn’t stick and is right back on top of them. 

Theres a reason the top three are at the top and it’s because of there strikers!! 

My point is we are crying out for attacking options and the new managers first signings where 2 defenders and a goalkeeper, and yet we have conceded more goals under his tenure. Surely that money spent on those 3  could have got us a decent striker or 2!

Had a great few seasons at Kelty before moving on. Should do a decent job at L2 level I think 

We had a quality goalie in Brennan with hibs reserve goalie for back up not sure a goalie was an area that needed addressed, sure the team has leaked a lot more goals under the new manager yet he has brought in his own goalie, right back and centre half. For me we are absolutely toothless going forward, that’s where I would have liked to have seen us strengthen. Healy does a lot of running which a lot of fans seem to like but if u look at the bigger picture he never holds the ball and brings midfield into play and also relieveing some pressure he always just flicks on balls to opposition centre half’s
