Frustrated Taylor wants more goals from strikers (31.08.06)

AFTER two draws in the last week, and still seeking their first win, Magpies boss Carl Taylor is confident of a successful season, but frustrated by the current lack of goals.
He is satisfied with the way the newly-formed defence and midfield are working, but in simple terms the team are not finding the back of the net enough times.
He said: “We are not turning our superiority into goals and that’s the bottom line.
“We have goals in us. Craig O’Connor, Adie Allen and Yash Romeo are goal scorers, but it’s not quite clicking at present.
“However if we keep playing as we are doing, it will come.
“We even missed a penalty against Mangotsfield. That didn’t help.”
Taylor, however, is positive his side will find their form starting at Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday.
He said; “I’m expecting a physical encounter – haven’t they all been – but with us finally finding our shooting boots.”
On Tuesday, the Magpies entertain Hemel Hempstead, kick-off 7.45pm.

Recent transer signings include striker Craig O’Connor who previously spent the 2004/05 season with the Magpies, finishing top scorer and sweeping the board at the end of season awards before moving on to Thurrock and then winning the Conference South Championship with Weymouth.
Rob Hughes, a midfielder who spent three months at Oxford United last season, made his debut at the weekend.
