So far this season, the only goal scored by a Cardiff City striker was Kieffer Moore's header at Blackpool back in the second week of August. After 13 league and cup matches, the stats for the team's three strikers are as follows:
James Collins - 6 (+7) apps, 0 goals
Mark Harris - 5 (+4) apps, 0 goals
Kieffer Moore - 7 (+6) apps, 1 goal
Meanwhile, Isaac Vassell hasn't even managed to make it onto the bench yet, let alone the pitch.
City's strikers made a similarly dismal start to 2016/17 under the management of Paul Trollope. Rickie Lambert scored twice during a 2-1 win at Rotherham in the tenth game of the campaign, but those were the only goals scored by a striker in the first 13 matches.
To put the current striker goal drought into some sort of perspective, these are the numbers of goals scored by City strikers in the first 13 games of each of the previous ten seasons:
2011/12 - 9
2012/13 - 6
2013/14 - 4
2014/15 - 9
2015/16 - 8
2016/17 - 2
2017/18 - 4
2018/19 - 4
2019/20 - 7
2020/21 - 4
This time last season, Kieffer Moore had scored four goals.
That's why we're not winning.

Play Giles on the correct side and the might get some service
When Kieffer put his header wide last night for Wales I blamed Mick McCarthy, as it's his fault Kieffer hasn't had enough chances this season 😁

In 2010/11, the trio of Bothroyd, Bellamy and Chopra managed 12. What we'd give for strikers of that quality now.
They wouldn’t score many in this team.
Yes, I hadn't considered that!
I thought that Mick’s sidekick TC was a striking guru. His record so far is lamentable. By the way where is Vassell and what is wrong with him?. At least we did have some feedback about Tomlin’s injuries but nothing about Isaac. Is he in jail or been sectioned, on an iron lung or has he joined what is left of ISIS?. It would be good if the club gave us some idea!!
When Kieffer put his header wide last night I thought just another so so Championship striker .
Last year folk were saying what a great job the management team were having on Kieffer, I wonder if the collapse of the Wolves move has effected him ?
It’s gone on too long now LOM, it’s affected not effected for God’s sake!!
Didn’t he score goals in a couple of the pre-season friendlies or under-23 games? I thought we might get to see him play a bit this season, but as far as I’m aware the manager hasn’t mentioned him in months.
Im sure ive read somewhere that hes injured again.
It might be an idea to give Simba a go he couldn't do any worse than Collins and Harris who haven't scored any. think Simba has 5 in four games for the under 23s. Not entirely down to the lack of service to the strikers Collins has had at least two almost unmissable chances and missed them a better striker than him would be on 3 goals at least by now. As for Harris he is not a striker he had a poor scoring record at Port Vale Wrexham and Newport at a lower level so no surprise ha can't score many for us.
Affect and effect are sooo easy to mix up, i'm the same with there/ their .
I'm sorry to have go it sooo wrong however is this worth pondering :
Affect is usually a verb , and it means to impact or change : . So the impact of not going to Wolves affected him .
Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change: . So the change in his value and status due to Wolves bid effected him .
I should never have left school at 15 for a life in the media , I now know why my early articles were never published thanks for opening my mind
Charlotte FC in MLS , Cardiff City or home to Shamrock Rovers
