Recruitment is key this summer

I don’t really buy into the Adebayo criticism. When you look at scoring rates in the league he’s actually not far off Lavery and better than Josh Gordon:

Lavery 8 Goals in 2017 minutes (252 minutes per goal)
Gordon 7 Goals in 2065 minutes (295 minutes per goal, admittedly some played outwide)
Adebayo 5 Goals in 1330 minutes (266 minutes per goal)

He also has a better shots on target ratio than the other two (58 percent to 57 and 53 respectively). (stats from BBC website).

All in all, 20 goals at this point of the season for all three is about as good a return as you can expect considering the number of chances a game we create. Yeah they’ve missed chances but you are going to get that in League Two. I think only having one winger and no creative midfielders is far more of an issue.
