Strikers hit 25 goals

Last updated : 22 December 2005 By The Chairman
Athletic strikers Andy Liddell, Chris Porter and Paul Warne have scored 25 goals this season and acting Captain Liddell confidently predicted, "There's more to come. We have had no problems scoring and I don't see why it should change."

Talking on the official site about the Bradford game Liddell (pictured) went on, "We will definitely have to stop Dean Windass. He gets goals season after season and he is still doing it. They are all big games (over Christmas) and if we can get a few wins we could be well-placed around the top six. If we lose we could find ourselves closer to the bottom. Although we are having a decent run, we have thrown away points we should have had in the bag. We have to be properly focused, this is a job not a hobby, and we will need to be serious and professional. On behalf of all the players I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. See you on Boxing day"
