Fantastic statwankery. Very impressiveThe 20 goals a season striker is a bit of a false reasoning nowdays, 30 years ago when players played a full season you could judge them but now very few play that many minutes in a season.
46 games at 90 minutes is 4,140 minutes.
Last season Solanke scored 29 goals, sounds great but he played 4096 minutes so he scored every 141 minutes.
We seem to wish for a player like him but yet Bradshaw who scored 9 goals played for 1351 so he scored every 150 minutes, at that rate he would of finished the season with 27 goals if he carried on scoring at that rate and played the same minutes as Solanke.
To me it looks like we are going to see the goals spread around several players again.
You can forget about a youth player coming through, there were 3 examples last week of why our top youngsters aren't going to play for our first team.Afobe is a bang average Championship striker that’ll bag us 15/16 goals at most. Bradshaw similar.
If we really want to push for top six and possibly better, we still need that 25+ player that will only come from one of two places: - our youth set up or the lower leagues.
Don’t forget that we competed in a bang average championship last season.
Very good signings so far, but we really need that number 9 position filled by a natural goal scorer.
Clubs who perhaps don’t want or need to sell one of their prized assets sometimes hike a player’s value up, as a deterrent to stop other clubs from buying said player. Or they set a price that they know they will be happy to sell, if push comes to shove (regardless of who that player actually is.)You can forget about a youth player coming through, there were 3 examples last week of why our top youngsters aren't going to play for our first team.
We are competing with 20+ other clubs for a lower league talent and if you agree that Twine was one last season, we don't have the 4m that Burnley paid for him.
Forest managed to get promoted without a 25 goal striker, Luton finished in the play offs without one, he got 16. Only Fulham and Bournemouth scored a ridiculous amount of goals. We need to spread the goals around, Afobe getting 15 plus a few other players chipping in with 10-12 each would probably see us over the line for a play loff spot. We weren't that far off last season, just need to turn some of the draws into wins.If we really want to push for top six and possibly better, we still need that 25+ player

Even I'd back them at 25sStill not worth the current odds. Drop a few points early on and we'll drift out to 25's at least.
For promotion? I doubt it mate, not just from dropping a few points early on. We will drift but not by 15+ points.Still not worth the current odds. Drop a few points early on and we'll drift out to 25's at least.
Bradshaw was third in the championship from a shots versus goal ratio. 9 goals from only 16 starts. If Bradshaw stays fit and his partnership with Afobe gets better he could easily bang in 15 - 20. I personally like to see goals coming from all over the park and not reliant on one player. Blackburn were going great guns until Berrington-Diaz got crocked and the goals dried up.Afobe is a bang average Championship striker that’ll bag us 15/16 goals at most. Bradshaw similar.

Very interesting to know.This 20 goal a season nonsense doesn't bear up up. Only 7 players scored 20 league goals in the top two divisions, 3 of them for Championship teams that failed to make the play offs. No play off club had a 20 goal forward, neither did Man City won the prem and made the CL semi or Chelsea two Cup finals and CL place. Nor Arsenal, Man Utd or the vermin who all made Europe. Spread the goals and we'll be fine.
As for lower league nuggets, a lad at Sheffield Wednesday missed a chunk of season and still managed 17 league goals goes by the name Gregory...
He has shown more loyalty than a certain Lovelace junior, so for that alone he deserves to be considered.Be interesting to see if Tanto gets a shout this year, I hope so
You're probably right mate but it really does depend on the teams ahead of us and what points they'e on plus all the mug punters skewing the market.For promotion? I doubt it mate, not just from dropping a few points early on. We will drift but not by 15+ points.
Apart from the odd bet on a correct score or first goalscorer i never put us in an acca or season long bet.Even I'd back them at 25s
