How to build the perfect striker

Feast of Football

Available for over a year

Carl Roberts, Nathan Blake and Lee Trundle step inside the mind of a struggling striker on this week's episode. Yousef Salech has had plenty of opportunities in from of goal this season, but a combination of factors means it's been a frustrating start for the Cardiff City front man. What can he do to end the goal drought? What can his team-mates and coaching staff do to help him? There's no such problem at Swansea City as front pair Adam Idah and Zan Vipotnik are finding the back in their continued strong start. Is the competition between the two one major factor in their success? And we couldn't let a discussion about strikers pass without asking Nathan and Lee for their favourite number nines, and getting them to build their perfect goalscorer. Is the pressure is mounting on Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson after a sobering defeat at West Ham, and how will Wales manager Craig Bellamy react to questions about his links with Burnley over the summer?
