Stoke City captain Ben Gibson feels the team cannot rely solely on its forwards to score goals.
The Potters have only scored twice in their last four games, drawing blanks against Preston and Burnley.
“It’s not just on the forwards, just as it isn’t with the defenders when we keep clean sheets because we should have goals all around the team,” Gibson told the BBC’s Stoke affiliate.
“It’s something we should address. We’ll work incredibly hard this week, hold long talks about it, and figure out how to score more goals.”
Tom Cannon is Stoke’s top scorer, accounting for seven of their 19 Championship goals this season, although they are also the division’s joint-fourth lowest scorers.
“Tom’s been fantastic for us, we have to find more goals to support him and also give him more chances.” Stoke are 14th in the Championship and go to fourth-placed Sunderland on Saturday.
