revolution saint Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, James said: His goal record in general is pretty poor. No goals at Watford, 6 at Preston (although someone on here said his xG was good so either he’s not getting in positions to score or Preston don’t create any chances). I mentioned his xG recently and wouldn’t say it’s great but at Preston he scored roughly equivalent to what was expected which isn’t too bad in a side that didn’t actually create much. I was only making the point when comparing him against Azon though who is the complete opposite and scores roughly half the amount of goals he should be getting and last season missed more big chances than anyone else in the division. I can’t see us going big on someone like Vipotnik so I think whoever we do sign is going to be a big gamble.
kjurwi Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I was so fudging angry after the ending of last season, so i had to calm down a bit. Starting to come back now. Is Dobbins the only new player this summer? Not counting players on loan last season.

I can’t see us going big on someone like Vipotnik so I think whoever we do sign is going to be a big gamble. Fair. I was just thinking that if six goals is “par” for Jebbison last season then either Preston created a ridiculously low number of chances for him or he wasn’t in positions to score. Azon, by contrast, seems to have had plenty of chances but was a poor finisher. Now, clearly Ipswich were a better side than Preston, so maybe that’s to be expected but I thought I’d read somewhere that Ipswich fans thought his movement and positioning were great but that his finishing needed improvement. That’s why I was more excited by Azon than I am by Jebbison. Agree every striker that we could get is a gamble but, if we are going for Autos, I’d be surprised if the best we can do is a striker like Jebbison who, whilst still very young, has quite a poor record of scoring goals at this level.

Which in my opinion makes us weaker. With West Ham and Wolves in our league then I feel we should be pushing with more quality Dobbin type signings. Im praying our new striker is the new bees knees otherwise it’s back to the likes of Adams, Armstrong, Downs, Mara, BBD and the lanky shit player that went to Turkey.

We got promoted three years ago with 5'10" Che Adams leading the line and Sekou Mara as backup. In the worst case scenario Larin as a focal point with BBD as backup is at least equal, I would say better. Especially with goals to be expected from Azaz, Dobbin and Scienza. This squad is comfortably good enough for automatic promotion, our only problem would be if someone like Leo or THB was sold, or both Charles and Jander.
