oodledoodle Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 He needs someone to put it on a plate for him. We have actual wing backs this season, so his total number of chances will go through the roof. You have to play to a player's strengths, regardless of who they are. He didn't score many last year, but I don't remember him having a hatful of chances either. I can see him doing well this season. That's right, I've been to the pub.

CBRammette Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Was at Camb away last season and thought here we go but he seemed very frustrated, bad body language later on and didnt really take to him at all but towards the end of the season was clearly working so hard all over the pitch. Looks like a different person on pre-season photos/video and just seems to be really up for it. Really hoping he makes me eat my words from last season.

europia Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 If he gets to 15 goals it will be OK, as long as others are scoring and we are competing in and around the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstaRam Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I think our pressing will look a whole lot better than for many years with Collins and Washington up top. Against teams at the bottom of L1 this will surley give us a fair few easy goals. I mean, last year some opposition defenders got stressed out even without us putting any real pressure on them. We might get a good reward with hard and offensive pressing in the final third this year and Collins might get 5 goals only from defenders mistakes!

I agree with regards to the press, based off the training videos it looks like we're going to be relentless & teams at this level wont be able to deal with it at all, especially when we have the quality on the ball to back the press up. We scored a few last season from pressing, Didzy vs FGR away & a Barkhuizen goal away too but cant remember who it was against. If we get it right we could get 5-10 goals just from that....then add in more set piece goals it could be a good mix which going back to topic, Collins will hopefully benefit from.

FKANorwichExile Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 He'll definitely benefit from having attacking wingbacks who can whip in good crosses. I wouldn't be that surprised if he had a 15 goal season, especially if we play two up top, but I still wouldn't be confident going in to the season with him as our main goal threat.

Ambitious Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Both Collins and Washington are fine at this level. A goal every 220 minutes for Washington, 184 minutes for Collins. Both have earned decent money and moves off their body of work at this level. Washington has nearly 40 international appearances. Neither are setting our pulses racing, obviously, but in terms of options they're fine. The club will bring in one more player, at least, who that is remains to be seen. Fingers crossed it's for a player who can emulate McGoldrick's ability on the ball and in-turn goal record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I think we shall be around top 2 with some look and dont rule out joe ward too who could of goals for at derby looking forward to it now.

Bris Vegas Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I was watching these highlights earlier and couldn’t believe the chances missed in this game. Two of those were from Collins. No idea what he was thinking for his first chance and for me summed up his footballing IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Ram Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 If he did score 19 in 40 games , what ratio would that be ? Instead of doing the maths I’ll ask the expert pundit Eni Aluko...........😉🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archied Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I’m one of those that has a sneaky feeling Collins might score a decent amount this season , im gonna go with a prediction of 18 Hector was the best, SKRam, angieram and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadAmster Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The way it looks, Collo will get many more chances this season than last, provided he's in the box to take them. The odd run out wide to create space for oncoming midfielders is a good tactic but he did it way too often IMO. Stay central and the chances, and hopefully the goals, will come.

Ram1988 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 He looked sharp on the pre season training video I've seen. I think he is underrated and gets an undeserved amount of stick by fans. MickD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
