FamilyBoro 140 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Ok granted this takes a lot of information out of the equation such as team dynamics, league etc. but I've wasted a bit of time putting together some stats from 2015/2016 season to current day: Just how influential the team change can be on the players stats, Bamford for e.g. is now averaging 3.6 shots per game for Leeds compared to ~1.8 for us. (Source - www.whoscored.com) In my opinion this shows that they are all similar Championship strikers in terms of basic stats who very likely are all equally suitable for this level only just have different attributes, suit different styles of play and obv different costs etc. I could make an argument why I would want and not want each of them.

Does that show they are the same? Bamford played a lot on the wing, yet is still fairly comparable. Britt is way behind in assists, he has negligible assists. He is also below the others in Key passes, and more than twice as many offsides as Bamford (although that will be influenced by him playing on the wing), Brit again is poor in the bad controls per game also. He is the best we have, but he is so limited and ineffective against the top sides, that he can't really justify his significant wages. He is also approaching his prime, and will have 1 year on his contract in next summer. I think whe will go then, and because he will have 15 goals we will probably get an ok fee for him, maybe 9 mill Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I like your passion for your dislike of britt. Its commendable. I disagree with it, but it's commendable. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Britt or Bamford. Bamford for me because I think he has better movement and awareness. For me Britt is hit and miss especially in big games and needs to do better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you build a team to feed your centre forward or build a team whose collective will produce more. Unfortunately at the minute we are neither. Link to post Share on other sites

He's played for a bad Forest team and one of the worst offensively Boro teams I've ever seen. He's still scored 15 goals a season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroMart 139 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We really need to talk about Britt again!? Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Why? Because he missed two chances in a game when the entire team underperformed? Do you want to make him the scapegoat? Is that the answer, drop Britt and we will climb the table? Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Drop him to the bench, to tell him he needs to tap in sitters, not shoot with full force... Just tap it in I can not stand that smirky grin, when he has missed a sitter either... It's arrogant... I love him when he scored and you can count on him... But he needs to get his head right... Just score the goal.. Don't try to make it look better than needed... Same goes with penalties, shoot flat and low.. Not blast it over 3 times in a row.. One time is bad luck, two times is baffling, but three *** times is arrogant, wanting it to be a beauty, instead of just scoring in a safer way! Link to post Share on other sites
