Our strikers were never scoring thirty a season but they were decent enough. Those stats back up my theory that we never scored nearly enough goals from midfield. Also, can't remember very many set piece goals.

Ray Houghton was pushing on alright by then, had a brilliant game v Inter that I recall but didn't start the league cup final. Graham Fenton never really kicked on either.
We only once had a 12 league goals a season man under Atkinson, never mind 20 or 30 a year.

There were quite a few pointing out at the time that we didn't have 20+ a season strikers. Made it all the more galling that we missed out on Shearer and Sutton in consecutive seasons.

We drew 1-1 vs Coventry and played very lethargically. Manc did indeed enjoy over 7 minutes of extra time when Spud'ead scored a winner.
I'm not sure the like sof Whittingham, Phil King and Fashanu were good enough to replace the players from 92/93 that needed replacing.
