Tyrese Campbell

[Bladesince59]

Agreed, not quite up too Shackleton's standards.

second best after Cooper

 

[FriethBlade]

Anyone see a similarity with John Tudor?

Nah more Nathan Blake, similar physique and strength amd a bullet shot

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Hmm. Ceilings are all well and good, but I reckon Campbell would kill for a career at Billy's level of performance.

BIlly's first touch was excellent, what he lacked that Campbell has is height and pace.

Campbell has 45 goals in 186 appearances

Billy had 90 plus goals in about 200 appearances at about the same age

I think he's been great but we've seen 10 goals so far lads

But what divisions were the appearances and goals in? Billy spent most of his career in League One and was at his most prolific at that level.

All but 5 of Campbell's goals were scored at Championship level.

To the end of the 2010/11 season (in which Sharp turned 25), Sharp had scored 9 in 16 at League Two level, 53 in 82 at League One level and 38 in 113 at Championship level.
Campbell has 5 in 15 League One appearances, 40 in 171 Championship appearances and 0 in 4 Premier League appearances.

Sharp was way more prolific - but it should be pointed out that 30 of his 38 Championship goals came for Doncaster in the 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons (62 apps).

Tyreese looks like he eats far less pies though

Anyone see a similarity with John Tudor?

Nah, not even if I squint a fair bit.

Agree…of course he would….Sharp has had a fantastic career….and is one of the best strikers the Championship and EFL has ever seen.
He’s got plenty to feel proud about and of course the 2nd tier is a very high level.

My point was that Campbell is more talented, better 1st touch, better dribbler, more pace and power.
Not at Brian Deane level but Campbell could become an average/ established PL level striker…..he might be our main striker next season.
Where Edwards and Sharp were purely brilliant finishers (better at finishing than Deane or Campbell) but didn’t have enough in their game to make it in the top flight.

Campbell is very quick and mobile plus his strength means he's very difficult to stop once he's on a forward trajectory.

He also makes great runs which are timed to perfection. This is a real skill which many strikers can't achieve. Can't remember him being being caught offside very often.

If he can stay fit he'll be a top top goalscorer.

Sometimes a player and club and honest hardworking group just click and it works.

Reminds me of Leon Clarke.

I love the guy but he was tired along with hamer after 10 mins on Saturday! I blame the warm weather . Some of our players have major fitness issues!

Ridiculous verdict that a 54 yr old in such good health could drop so dramatically, for it to be decided it's "natural causes". With that on his mind, sod promotion, his welfare is far more important.

It wasn't a ridiculous verdict, and Kevin wasn't in good health. Let's not open a stream of speculation on this topic.

Tyrese Campbell must have been going through a bloody hard time, and probably still is. Who knows what is going on in the private lives of all the other players? It would be good if we could all remember that they are human beings as well as professional footballers. As you say, we should all consider their welfare as important, even when we lose a few matches.

 

[Tom Bott]

Reminds me of Leon Clarke.

Who once we gave him an improved new contract only scored 1 cup goal.

That's some footballers for you.

We need to be looking at the other T Campbell at Charlton scored again this weekend

That’s a very touching article and shows a side of football that isn’t often seen, the amount of encouragement that a player like Campbell gave to others. I was surprised that he overlapped with Wayne Rooney, I would have thought they were from different generations.

His dad was a gent and a great player. Saved Everton in 99.
