Totally agree with this. Taylor seems good but we won’t see anywhere near the same level of goal contributions to Harvey.

I’m not too bothered by who we sign up front at this stage, but we don’t create chances. We can look at our striker options in more detail once we create a couple dozen chances for Reid to flounder on - if he does.

My concern from the club is succession planning. We had a very set starting 11 and our substitutions were often quite late. We need to find a way to find a balance so that we can blood new players with some game time otherwise we face an overhaul every 2-3 seasons. We’ve been on the right side of recruitment lottery (with good scouting) - signing any player is never a guarantee. My concern so far is that none of the the signings so far really address any of our core objectives for the season ahead:

- New CB partner for Pidge to sure up our defence.
- Depth out wide for Chem/phoenix
- playmaker to replace White
- succession planning for Reidy while pushing for a starting place.

Whether Reid can do a job for us goal scoring wise is one question, the other is that we clearly are now lacking pace up front, where Reid was usually able to chase for 80 minutes
