SmogDane 4,052 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Pulis has in public made a comment for the strikers to step up and go get 20 goals a season! But - Who will be our top goal scorer this season? I will bring a bottle of nice Gammel Dansk (Old Danish) the next time, I visit the riverside, to the member on here who get's the name of the player and number of goals correct! If the winner is not going to the game, when I return to the North East, the runner up will get the prize, and so on. Go predict, you awesome Boro fans!

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Assombalonga with 14 goals. (Are we counting Cup games?) Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt top scorer with 15. No striker would get 20 goals playing for Pulis though. Link to post Share on other sites

boroie 484 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt, 16 But I think it might be Mr January if we make a decent signing. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt top scorer with 15. No striker would get 20 goals playing for Pulis though. To be fair, when did any player score 20 goals a season for us? Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, when did any player score 20 goals a season for us? Not sure what that has to do with Pulis being *** poor at getting the best out of strikers? Probably Ravanelli to answer your question. Although there's a few which have been close or would have if not for various reasons. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt top scorer with 15. No striker would get 20 goals playing for Pulis though. To be fair, when did any player score 20 goals a season for us? Was thinking the same thing after the comments made yesterday. It's been bloody ages since anyone reached 20 goals for us. Bamford, Yakubu, Emnes, Hasselbaink, Viduka... they all came close but never hit the 20. I got into football in 2004, I don't think I've ever seen us with an actual 20 goal striker.

Betamaxman 14 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It's hardly Pulis's fault if our strikers miss golden chances. Personally I agree with him, if he's saying that we're not clinical enough. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt with 12 goals, btw. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Britt, 14 goals. and for what it's worth while there's an argument that pulis strikers won't score 20, I think there's also an argument that our strikers do miss chances they should score when we do create them, and pulis can't do much about that.

boroie 484 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think you are right Brunners, we create plenty of chances that are better than the archetype 'half-chance' where you think that a more focused striker might score. Now maybe they don't because they are knackered from running around chasing lost causes at times, but certainly we should be scoring more goals that we currently do. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Oh well expected. Top of the league for 15 mins and it felt good. Watching the Ryder cup it’s really good viewing. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Under Pulis I don’t think 20 is achievable. We have a gaol difference of 8 which is not a comfortable figure if you measure a team on its potential. Link to post Share on other sites
