CONFIRMED Rhian Brewster

In fairness, we do get in good positions. Often without creating a good chance. But maybe its the lack of movement from our strikers in the box that leads to us not creating better goalscoring opportunities.

Burke looks great, but he isn't a natural striker that instinctively peels off a defender in the box, or attacks the near post. McGoldrick, we know, isn't a natural finisher - though chances do sometimes fall to him because he can be hard to pick up. McBurnie & Sharp's lack of mobility mean they're quite easy to pick up in attacking situations.

Hopefully Brewster comes in and is able to make himself a target for crosses. Can create his own chances. His strength is one touch finishing. I don't think we have that in our ranks.

You can put as many crosses into the box as you want but if they end up in the keepers arms or hit the first man (as they usually do) then they aren't really chances are they.

xG is a load of bollocks. What isn't is the result.

I like the underlying data to confirm we're still a decent team without using just my eyeballs, but I hate it because underlying data said Newcastle were the shittest team in existence last season, yet here they are.

so you mean missed chances ? Like missed sitters ? Like the countless ones sharp and mcgoldrick missed last season or are you just talking about this season ?
Or maybe just the Leeds game where we had a higher xg than Leeds or the villa game where we only had ten men and missed a penalty ?
Or the wolves game where we had one cleared off the line and sharp over hit a pull back for a tap in ?

So we create good chances then in the final 3rd, you don't think we often make the wrong decision?

If anything, Burke likes to come deep and pick holes. The fact that he’s so quick means he can play on the shoulder but he naturally seems to want to run across the line and play others in.
Because of his pace he was suggested as a Moose alternate, but I think he’ll end up more like Dids. Suited to playing with any of our other forwards.
I’m really excited about what Burke could do for us given time and a bit more patience.

Yeah but I think the strikers are as much at fault as anyone ,when the ball goes in early they don't attack.it and when it is not they are statuesque

Glad you deciphered some of that because I can't make any sense out of it at all.
The hell is he talking about!?

This guy is a clown and is so out of date it's untrue. Time to restructure local sporting media in the region with him and Shield, they bring nothing.
 
Any coincidence that Jayden bogle is following brewster on Twitter or am I late to the party?

I think you’re premature with your opinions on Burke, Captain. He was devastatingly good at that early in his career. But he’s had a lean time. His movement and ability to go round players is impressive already. I think there’s a lot more to come from him. But I’m not doubting we need to add a more direct striker.

Is the club soon to be at risk of losing some or a sizeable proportion of the fans gained over the last 25 years?
