Striker needs a better conversion rate
2 wingers need better end product and to score at least 8 goals each
Pablo and Klich need to score 10 each

Front 5 in Bielsaball need to score goals. Im happy with the striker scoring 16 as long as others weigh in but besides Pablo the others fell short and Klich wasnt as prolific as his first season.

We hit the woodwork more than any other team this season especially Harrison who would have scored 10 goals with a bit more luck, so he can do it and so too can Klich. We need Costa to step up and we need whichever player doing the Pablo role to do it too. Roberts cannot be the answer
 
Hello from Buenos Aires. Sad if White is out, Quarta is best option imo(im not a River Plate fan). I´ve punched walls after Bamford bamfording, but, is there another striker in sight with high chances of not pissing off Bielsa? the team unity is essential with Bielsa. And, Shacketon will score a lot, this is his season
 
I'm still reading this 'we need a goal scorer' theme.
We cannot know how many chances we'll get in the Prem. We can only judge on last season when we won by 10 clear points, only one team scored more than us and they didn't get promoted.
The top scorers:
Mitrovic - up via play offs. Way behind us
Watkins - still in the Champ
Grabban - missed play offs
Grant - fighting relegation
Wells - nowhere

Wells had 18, Bamford had 16.

Who do you want to swap with?

I trust Bielsa so what he wants is fine with me.
I’d swap with Watkins any day. Watkins played as a winger for over half the season.

Stats as of 20th March and after the restart Brentford were on fire so Watkins stats were only going up.

Accurate passes strikers:
  1. Cayley Woodrow (Barnsley): 816
  2. Ollie Watkins (Brentford): 687
  3. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham): 613
  4. Karlan Grant (Huddersfield): 601
  5. Conor Chaplin (Barnsley): 574
Goal conversion percentage (more than 20 games played):
  1. Scott Hogan (Birmingham): 43%
  2. Chris Martin (Derby): 43%
  3. Jonathan Leko (West Brom/Charlton): 36%
  4. Ollie Watkins (Brentford): 32%
  5. Lyle Taylor (Charlton): 32%
Big chances missed strikers: "A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score," Opta states as a big chance. "Usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter.
  1. Patrick Bamford (Leeds): 25
  2. Lewis Grabban (Forest): 17
  3. Ollie Watkins (Brentford): 15
  4. Martyn Waghorn (Derby): 14
  5. Karlan Grant (Huddersfield): 13

Hi there I'm a shakleton fan.
 
Very happy harrison is on a loan fee. Not worth anywhere near 5 million let alone 8 million. Very poor scoring rate but he's ok for a squad player. What about grant from hudders they could be our development club in return. Got a few u23s we could loan them.
 
Morning all...

I keep hearing how the PL want to rid themselves of betting sponsors, I guess they’d have to give plenty of notice to everyone. I have to say I prefer 32 Red over this new one but money is money.

I agree DJMarl I like the training tops.

Need some new first team signings sharpish now with preseason just round the corner. Harrison we already had so the pen to paper photo shoot is a bit underwhelming, we didn’t do that with Costa and Meslier did we?

Without Ben White we are still weaker than last season so I’m starting to get slightly concerned as to who we might be getting
the bonus is ben white wants to come here , and not heard anyone else offering more 25m could do it he knows he has a brighter future at leeds and brighton been up in premiership for a few seasons
