how do you know that , we create loads of chances in most games

I don't know it, it's an assumption, and a reasonable one to me. We're going to be playing against much better teams, we won't have as much possession and we'll likely find it difficult to get into the box as much as last year.

 

[Nicesheffielder]

If he came in and scored 8 i would be delighted!

Owt more than Brewster

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

are Rifleman and Rocket Man the modern day Morecambe and Wise?

i see a lot of prem games where teams create very few chances , a lot less than the championship average
we lost 18 times by one goal when we were relegated 2 seasons ago so if we can score 1 in those games we get 18 points , plus the 23 we got equals 41 points,, staying up is not a million miles away

Big Chances Created prem 22 23 season ,, some dont average 1 per game​

This table ranks teams based on the currently selected stat type

We’re we not the highest chance creators but lowest finishes of chances created last season?

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

 

[SufcBilly]

finally got the service , they looked better all round

if he only scores 18 next season be ok with that


local rag says hes restarted training

Chuba Akpom addresses his Boro future and offers positive fitness update

Chuba Akpom has just 12 months left on his Middlesbrough contract

www.gazettelive.co.uk

I’ll repeat this again, if teams thought he was capable of scoring 18 in the prem next season he would not be joining us for £8 mill

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

Woohoo

 

[Blade56]

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

OR……….

 

[gaffablade]

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

 

[Blade56]

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

 

[Westran]

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

Wuepd? I'd be pretty surprised if PA got involved with recruitment, not really his style.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

Fuck the chairman he's not a "football guy"

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

 

[Balti Pie]

Wuepd? I'd be pretty surprised if PA got involved with recruitment, not really his style.

He certainly got involved in the Billy Sharp episode!

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Wuepd? I'd be pretty surprised if PA got involved with recruitment, not really his style.

PA isn’t the chairman

 

[Westran]

PA isn’t the chairman

I thought it was just gaffa getting their roles mixed up. I'd be even more surprised if Yusuf Giansiracusa got involved in footballing decisions, what with him being a lawyer.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

any input from Dave or Anthony?

 

[moody1889]

Everyone writing the lad off yet and we haven't even signed him Manchester United have just spent 70 million on a kid that only bagged 9 goals in Seria A

Give the lad a chance.

 

[Brownieblade]

Hearing Akpom is a goer.

First he is really hot, now he is a goer

Will be popular amongst the ladies I bet

 

[Blade56]

Everyone writing the lad off

Really, few concerns expressed re fitness and pre last season record and “Everyone” writing him off? There an element of gamble in this but given the circumstances and budget we’ve got to trust Heckys judgement

 

[Muttley]

Hecky wants him
Chairman dunt want to pay for him

Probably

 

[blade too long]

I’ll repeat this again, if teams thought he was capable of scoring 18 in the prem next season he would not be joining us for £8 mill

well they wrote off MITROVIC for Fulham after his first season then he came back and scored freely ,,,, you just never know

 

[Grizzly blade]

Wouldn’t be the first time…I recall there being some friction between the previous 2 managers and the owner/board when it came to transfers.

 

[Blade58]

Blades have upped their offer! See what happens shall we.

What? Fee or salary?

 

[SufcBilly]

Wouldn’t be the first time…I recall there being some friction between the previous 2 managers and the owner/board when it came to transfers.

Almost like they knew best then aswell

 

[Rifleman]

What? Fee or salary?

All I was told is we’d upped our offer but I presume it’s to the player

 

[Blade58]

mmm

Hearing Hecky wants him but Chairman doesn't....

Lol PA doesn’t pick the team, Hecky does.
Just stump up the Ndiaye money and let Hecky get on with it

 

[Grizzly blade]

Almost like they knew best then aswell

Depends how you look at it.
If this also sours the managers relationship, wastes time in trying to sign players and means we start the season completely unprepared and effectively starting behind where we need to be it will hamper our prospects of staying up hugely.
We don’t have 10 games to waste in the prem it ends in relegation.
Got away with it with Slav as we were in the league below, we won’t this season.
