Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Unchanged starring XI, Cooper on the bench

[SG90]

Four goals this season is nowhere near good enough for a striker that cost us £7m & the number of chance Paddy has squandered, he should have been in double-figures by now

We haven't got a single player in the top 25 championship goalscorers list

How bad is that

Put Mitrovic in our team and he'd struggle too. He weren't that great at Newcastle either, when he had more pressure and expectation on him.

[Cjay]

Yes the rest of the team need to get their shooting boots on but Bamford has missed loads of glorious chances, also guilty of missing sitters

He has yes.

But i still think that its down to pressure, he has the entire weight of the promotion favourites goals on his back.

Others contribute then we may see a different outcome.

34 goals in 68 games since he joined Fulham in February 2018 suggests he's a decent championship striker

Hell of a leap & unlucky not to score in the last few minutes yesterday,

Same can be said for Bamford's header, only one he gets on target in numerous games & Westwood makes a wonder save

Yes, but look at his record at Newcastle for comparison.

Yes, but look at his record at Newcastle for comparison.

Tbf to Mitrovic 17 goals and 10 assists in what amounted to 42 games with minutes played is a pretty decent return.

Better goal contribution on average minutes wise then Roofe managed last season.

Mitrovic would score for fun imo.

17 goals in 72 games altogether. Not exactly great tbh.

I have......two seasons in the premiership

The season he played in the championship for the geordies he was plagued with injuries/suspensions & never really got going

Signed on loan for Fulham he virtually got them to the play-offs single-handedly

Only 11 goals in 37 games in the premiership

23 goals in 31 games in the championship

[Cjay]

But the 72 games doesnt show the actual minutes he was on the pitch.

For a fair comparison you have to take the minutes played and work out how many full 90mins that amounts to.

42.

[Cjay]

Im very jealous of the Fulham front 3.

Knockhaert, Cavaliero and Mitrovic would walk in to our team.

Knockhaert especially (we had him on trial and turned him down years ago ffs).

[1964white]

Bamford

2017/18 Middlesbro' - 12 goals in 47 games

2018/now Leeds 13 goals in 35 games

25 goals in 82 games

I still think he wouldn't replicate that goalscoring if he was playing for us though.

Their front three + our defence It would comfortably walk the league.

Fulham should go up with that front three, only thing that may stump the cottagers progress is the managerial appointment of Scott Parker last season

Yes with Bielsa running the show too

I reckon we may have signed the wrong Wolves forward, hope I'm wrong

[Cjay]

Bamford

2017/18 Middlesbro' - 12 goals in 47 games

2018/now Leeds 13 goals in 35 games

25 goals in 82 games

Have to be fair to Paddy.

8562 minutes played in the Championship.

Thats 95 games
49 goals
12 assists.

Even for us he has a goal every 184 minutes.

Agreed.

Interesting though, after we signed Costa Wolves fans were pleased Cavaleiro was still there.

He had done better in recent times but they seemed to feel talent wise Costa had more.

[1964white]

Knockhaert, Cavaliero, Mitrovic

or

Costa Bamford, Harrison

Take your pick

Add Tom Cairney's goals from midfield to those front three

[1964white]

Agreed.

Cavaleiro settled in quickly at Fulham

4 goals, 4 assists in 13 appearances
