Attack or Defend better?

Everyone talking about attackers, but I’m pretty sure our scoring rate under Morison is an improvement over McCarthy’s early season team, it’s the other end of the pitch where we are really in need of improvement - we can’t go on needing to score two, at least, to win.

Morison: 12 scored in 11 league games
McCarthy: 10 scored in 14 league games

If you include the FA cup tie, we've scored 2 or more goals in 7 out of Morison's 12 games in charge. That's pretty decent I think.

Our goals against rate was 1.86 in the league under McCarthy. That's now 1.63. It's still too high, even if we no longer have the 2nd worst defensive record in the division.

Trouble is at the moment we can’t score at all.

That's not strictly true.

In Morison's 12 games, we've drawn blanks on 4 occasions. In the remaining 8 games we've score 1 once, 2 on 6 occasions and 3 once. In over half of our games under him we've scored 2 or more.
