He did however score 11 goals playing in half the games or coming off the bench. Perhaps @Ghost of Clough can tell us his goals per minute played last season and extrapolate to a 40 odd game season. With a "goalden" season he could easily make it 20+ next season (he probably won't, but you never know in football). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could, again, argue that he would have to exert more effort playing more minutes and therefore not be as affective in longer playing time. I’m not saying that’s a given either, just showing the pitfalls of stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I'm not assuming that he'd score 24 again, but I do think he is a striker and has a nose for a goal. Those were the claims I didn't agree with. Of course, we would have to play to his strengths for him to deliver lots of goals. But I'd say the manager and playing style is more important than the aging from 27 to 32. The world is full of examples of supporting that. IMO he spend way too much energy on stupid presses and when he got the chance, he was tired and too far away from the goal to be a threat.

A goal every 232.73 minutes which works out as 17-18 (17.79) goals over the course of 46 games (4140 mins, not including added time) Oh and he played in 61.84% of the minutes we played in League One.

It helps that he's the most two footed player we have in the squad. He would often take set pieces with his left foot when playing for thr U21s/23s and you wouldn't notice it was his weaker foot. hintonsboots, Comrade 86, Carnero and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can potentially play anywhere behind the CF, but definitely best leading the line. He was injured for the first half of the season. Came back into the U18 side and scored goals for fun. Played a couple for the U21s towards the end of the season and scored 1. Magicman, May Contain Nuts, RoyMac5 and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
