Scoring goals of late has been a bit of a problem to say the least and Kashi’s goal might just be that point where the penny drops and we start seeing a lot more shots from other players. I’ve always been an advocate of if you have the ball and you can see the goal then shoot because there’s nobody in a better position to score. Our players are banging the ball about from wing to wing with almost pinnpoint accuracy at times so getting a shot on target should present no particularl problem to any of them. It doesn’t matter if it misses as long as it isn’t by too much and if it hits the woodwork or the keeper and is loose in the box then it creates another opportunity to follow up on.
And now he’s got one, Kashi should have a few more go’s at getting more and so should any other player who finds himself in a similar position with the ball.
We’ve got Ahmed Kashi
He knows how to smash it
He can put the ball away...
Much better imo than singing someone never gives the ball away as that’s tempting fate too much

Or failing that, it would certainly help if we beat Shrewsbury.
No takeover this week and a home defeat on Saturday, and we'll be going nowhere.
Stop it
"Hey guys, Kashi took a shot and scored a goal. Maybe WE would score goals if we took shots as well?"
Karl: "Right, I'm putting you on the bench next match for that little outburst."
Kashi isn't going to score many goals spending most of his time playing deeper than our central defenders.
Anyway, let's hope he adds goals and assists to his game more often, because he has a lot of other good qualities already.
When we have taken 16 passes to swap wings we've done it pretty accurate.
Pinpoint accuracy at swapping wings is watching prem or la liga.
We are nowhere near that pal, simply not enough quality at this level to do it.
Josh had already found his goal scoring touch so him scoring Saturday was routine. Kashi scored with a great shot and I bet he has a few more goes at repeating it now so if he does manage to score more of the same that could be the difference to our season being successful or not.
For me its a bonus when he scores as he's just a likeable bloke but never approach a match each week expecting it
There's something about shooting from range, especially on the run. Ricky Holmes scored some worldies like that.
And as LTGTR implies, shots that are blocked or parried often wrong foot defenders and run loose - and we don't seem to score many from those opportunities.
To my mind Kashi is now making some runs further forward recently, rather than mainly sitting - and arriving in the box late.
That's how he scored his 1st goal a few weeks ago.
Nicky Bailley and Jacko made a run late or blindside into the box their trademark move - and scored plenty.
Kashi's got good technique; if another player is sitting, let him make late runs and get forward.
