Brian Reid has demanded his strikers do more to fire Albion Rovers out of relegation trouble in League Two after learning his forward line have netted just ONE of their goals all season.Rovers suffered a 3-2 defeat Stirling Albion on Saturday to go joint-bottom of the table with Bonnyrigg Rose on 27 points, and they only sit ninth thanks to a superior goal difference.The side finishing bottom faces a play-off for SPFL survival against the winners of the Highland and Lowland League play-off in May and Reid says if they are to avoid that, his strikers need to start firing.Their cause hasn't been helped by injuries through the squad but midfielder Charlie Reilly has hit 18 league goals (20 in all competitions) to contribute to the majority of their goals this term.And ahead of a massive match with eighth-place Stranraer on Saturday, Reid said: "I was looking at the stats and Charlie has scored us 20 goals this season."We've used five or six strikers and between them they've scored one goal."That tells you where the problem is coming from."Joe Bevan was on the bench on Saturday because he's not fit.

We've got Max Wright out, Michael Paton out. The young boy from Dundee, Euan Matale, is trying to find his way in men's football and has only just come into the club."Kieran Dolan has had opportunities this season and not scored."You are looking for your strikers to contribute to where you want to be."The sign of a good striker is putting the ball in the net and that has been disappointing."I said that to the players on Saturday.

Charlie has contributed to the majority of our goals this season, but everyone has got to chip in."We haven't had a consistency of strikers this season, most of them have been injured.
