He managed something like our third highest goals tally in the Championship. 68 goals last year, 61 in 12/13, a whole one extra goal in 2015/16 when we had a PL squad and scored 69 goals. 70 goals under the wild ride that was Slutsky and Adkins. What dour, boring football Rosenior played.. The re-writing of the narrative is something else. And are you saying it's easier to score goals in the Bundesliga 2 than the Championship? Funny that.
It’s the big test really and it’s what frustrated myself and many others last season. The team last season did not win enough of these ‘bankers’. Tim Walter has two things to achieve: this, and to maintain performances similar to that second half against Stoke. It’s a tough ask and only time will tell. Hopefully the fact that we’ve now scored a few will spur us on. On a side note, we could do with Bedia getting off the mark too. I would imagine Burstow is feeling a little disappointed not to have got more game time so far.
So what you're saying is we scored more under Slutsky and Adkins? Two hugely successful managers for us with dreadful squads handed to them. The narrative hasn't been re-written at all, we drew too many games under him and couldn't score enough goals due to just knocking the ball around in our own half. Anyone with eyes could see it.
Maybe if he had been given a chance in the previous season to show what he could do the signing of Rushworth would not have happened
We scored all of 2 extra goals and finished significantly worse in the table ffs. That Slutsky/Adkins squad had PL players like Hernandez banging them in, and then Wilson in January who was a find out of nowhere. Dreadful squad - McGregor, Dawson, Davies, Meyler, Hernandez, Grosicki, Bowen all running around is hardly dreadful. And it managed 2 extra goals!!
Wilson was a nobody. You’ve named 3 forwards, 1 of which was Bowen’s first senior season. Hernandez was injured all season too
Hernandez scored 8 goals in 8 starts. I've named players who scored goals for us and who were with us in the PL the previous season. 2 extra goals.
Our 2016 championship squad was the most underperfoming team ever We were so stacked Shoulda have got autos, Ah well What is it with our constant comparisons to past seasons
It was on a par with the Villa and Newcastle teams for sure, if not stronger. As strong as Leicester side last season? It really was an insanely strong team to have at this level.
Yeah sorry only brought it up to make the point that this notion that we didn't score many goals is a bit daft in context.
I did find it funny Rosie got a draw away to lille Who knocked fenerbache out of the champions league
