Mullin has had nobody to give the ball back to since D'sane moved on and Craney (who should have a bit of 'presence' or nous) didn't work as an out and out striker.That's why I think we need better options upfront. Remarkably, for the role that he plays and the pounding he gets, Mullers has avoided injury in the last couple of years apart from the odd knock. We do rely on him heavily and if he ever gets a long term injury we could be up wotsit creek. I'm not discounting Clarke. He could turn out to be a revelation, who knows?. 12 goals by January would do nicely. As for midfield, well that's where Craney made his name but lately he's been a shadow of his former self. A big season from him would make all the difference.
