Leon top scorer

[Slim Man]

By a clear two goals.

Just to make a point... he wasn’t even on the odds at the beginning of the season. You physically couldn’t bet on him to finish top scorer.

Now I think you’ll be lucky to get him at anything less than 3/1. Outstanding.

I’m constantly amazed by him.

 

[DifferentClass]

And you know what makes it better? All the Wolves, pigs, Bury etc. fans are fucking gobsmacked! They didn't expect him to rise above average at best!

 

[ForgeBlade]

I love him. I really, truly love him. Less than a year from journeyman lower league "lazy" striker to top scorer in the Championship, and 8 goals in 3 games. If he was 5 years younger in this form he'd be off to Russia next summer. Whatever CW has been feeding him it's worked wonders.

 

[Ricky]

Simply beyond belief.

It might have ultimately been a consolation but seeing him get another hat trick was a great moment.

Two home games in a row! Has anyone ever done that before?

Forced to do it this season, just because I had him last season at daft odds.

Found him at 10-1 now on Sky Bet.
I have a superstition about not betting on Blades as I always seem to jinx them.
Otherwise...

 

[cahill]

He’s a gem, athletic, hard working, confident, comfortable on the ball, a team player, a lethal finisher.
He’s great

 

[zablade]

He looked like he was limping at the end. Hopefully just fatigue, he is undoubtably in the form of his life.

 

[Grappler]

Said for quite a few years that I would love Leon Clarke in our side, he always (and I mean always) seemed to score against us, no matter who he played for.

To me (despite his age) he is the model striker; fast, tall, powerful, solid, can score with either foot or his head, cagey old pro, been there, seen it, done it, and now getting the BDTBL faithful behind him.

This could be his best ever season as a professional footballer.

UTB.

 

[WhiteHawk]

If, after the Millwall away game last season, some had said to you that before the end of November 2017, we'd be 2 points off the top of the Championship and Leon Clarke would be the divisions top scorer you'd have thought they were on drugs.

He's now scored 2 hat tricks in 3 games, prior to that he'd scored 1 hat trick in 430 games.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Well at least one striker is appreciated.

 

[Iceybabey]

Well, he did say he'd score in this team.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

He loves playing at bdtbl, and the adulation the supporters are showing him is wonderful, he must feel 10 ft tall at the minute. Leonnnn

I know it’s late because my eyes are so tired I can’t see Jordan Rhodes odds......

 

[DronnieBlade]

Two out of the top 4 ain’t bad.

As per Sky odds further up.

Yes we have lost, still much to be proud of

UTB

 

[Jon Bon II]

Well at least one striker is appreciated.

Looked like there was only one playing tonight. Oh, two when Hanson came on...

Quality player and to think, even many on here said that he was finished in a Blades shirt after his red card v Barnsley.

His discipline has improved immensely since then, as has his fitness. Donaldson isn't even getting a look in!

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

He's an ex-pig f**k him. Don't want his sort at BDTBL.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

LEEEEEOOOOOOOOONNNN!!!! Reight player.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Magnificent.

Another stat - since he returned from injury at Oldham on 25th March last season, he's played 19 games (+ 3 as a sub) & scored 18 goals!

 

[Stretch]

His second goal last night was terrific. Takes on his man, one stepover, two stepovers then bang! from a tight angle, low and hard under the keeper.

Skill, confidence and arrogance like all the best CFs need to have. Barring injury, he ain't stopping this season. 25 goals my prediction.

 

[UnitedBlade]

Simply beyond belief.

Two home games in a row! Has anyone ever done that before?

Once before: Jimmy Dunne Jan 1 and 4 1930. Jimmy’s is better because he got 4 in each game against West Ham and Leicester. We won 4-2 and 7-1. Top division as well of course.

This was the crazy year we scored 91 goals but conceded 96 and avoided relegation on goal difference. Worse still the pigs won the league.

 

[wizadry]

Leon can’t do any more, he’s been immense. He plays like a man possessed.

 

[Jehovah]

Wednesday mate text me last night saying its amazing he's doing so well considering he's utter garbage. I said you're right, missed a right chance for another hatrick at your place.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Well at least one striker is appreciated.

The other one was shite though wasn't he ?

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

8 goals in 3 games, surely it's time we gave this a proper run out...



* and yes I do realise we'd need to change it to Leon as Will Grigg doesn't play for us, before some clever b*****d comments

 

[I should coco]

Well at least one striker is appreciated.

There's quite a few have a thing for the Chedster too.....

 

[Tyler Durden]

The other one was shite though wasn't he ?

You've always thought he was shite.

 

[Fanny magnet]

You've always thought he was shite.

No he's had some good games this season
He was awful last night though

 

[8lade]

And you know what makes it better? All the Wolves, pigs, Bury etc. fans are fucking gobsmacked! They didn't expect him to rise above average at best!

and me too when we signed him, 'he'd be ok for a season but a three year contract?'

If he was 5 years younger in this form he'd be off to Russia next summer.

and my point here which I've tried to make before, shouldn't matter how old a player is and the national side shouldn't be looking beyond the next tournament, if somebody is producing the goods just prior to a tournament they should be in the squad.
