Pulis: Owls need a goalscorer

SHEFFIELD Wednesday manager Tony Pulis is desperate to find a player capable of “sniffing out a goal” after a stalemate with Stoke City.

Despite the lack of a goal, Pulis was satisfied to mark his first home game at the helm with a point against his former club. He said: “I’ve been in charge for three games and the players’ attitude to having a go has been absolutely first-class.

“We were solid against a very, very good side who’ve got a great depth of quality right through the team.

“We’re short in areas that we need to address. The more you stay in the game, the more you understand that you need good quality off set-plays and people who want to score from set-plays.

“You also need goals and people who can sniff that goal out for you. We need to get through to the window and then, fingers crossed, if we possibly can, get some more quality in. To win games of football, you’ve got to have it at both ends. You can’t just have it at one end.
