Are we not slightly stronger upfront than we were at the start of last season or the season before?
Not including any at the time untried youngsters I make it two year ago we had Buchanan, Hamilton, Donnelly & a very raw Doolan. Last season we started with Doolan (still quite raw), Buchanan, Grehan & Donnelly. This season we have Doolan (Div 1 top scorer), Stewart, Grehan, Fraser & Donnelly plus, using a wee bit licence, Erskine who's been pushed forward.
The point I'm making is not that I think we have the fire power to win the league but that we're better off upfront than in recent seasons.
