penguin Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Didn't really look a threat himself but did a hell of a lot more than Samatta today. Be a bit of a throw back but someone with some pace and movement next to him would benefit massively from what he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was the Sheff Utd performance. His only job is to be a battering ram and hold up the ball and apart from one or two instances, the Wolves central Defence could’ve let one of their defenders have a day off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did it often enough....this is his chance to shine, even if we don’t benefit from it because we don’t have that player to play off him but another day where he didn’t do what he is good at.

AvfcRigo82 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I would give him another year to show us what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me as well, were not blessed with forwards and we need to retain the majority of the squad. Not rebuild again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went down 1st half holding it. I think he stayed on as Targett just came off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Really surprised by this thread. I thought his general play was great, absolutely one of our top players yesterday. I don’t think he’s going to quite cut it as a striker in the PL - I don’t think he will ever get enough goals and that may be true whatever level as he doesn’t seem a natural goalscorer - but I’m so surprised at the criticism of his hold up play, where he brought other people into the game a few times, and his general play where he was actually not afraid to keep the ball unlike half our team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been under contract at a Championship club until this season and pretty much injured most of the time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keener window-cleaner Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 I've been impressed with him since the restart, he is showing great technique, speed and strength, and has got himself in some good positions to score. If he can keep injury free I think he can be a good player for us at any level. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Definitely worth keeping for the championship. He’s been one of our better players since being back and I’ve been more impressed with him than Samatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 He has the highest xGChain90 in our squad after Grealish obviously and isn't far behind him. xGChain90 being a stat which essentially measures how much he contributes to an attacking chance per 90 minutes of posession he has. This is even more impressive considering most of the minutes he's played have came after the restart where we have struggled to create chances. Pity the finishing isn't there. If paired with a lethal finisher I think he's capable of magic. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about any goldie looking chain stats but what I do know is he looks like he could be a very useful attacking target man to hold up the play and create chances for other players to benefit from. Worth keeping hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth keeping hold of. I actually misread the stats there, so that's my bad. I assumed he was helping contribute to chances being created, but it was actually more him being good at getting at the end of good chances more than anything. He just sucks at finishing them.

AntrimBlack Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 If we want to push on, we need new strikers right across the front. The strikers we have may be just about ok in the CH, but they are no Abraham, and certainly are no good for the PL. You cannot win anything without good strikers, and we don't have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't reject stats either, but imo, just support material. I happen to think some folk put too much store in to them......Watching the game is far more revealing to me, but you have to have the ability to interpret what is going on. That is something a spectator develops over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
