United's form with Cannon on the pitch.

[Pollingtonblade]

There were rumours other day the players hate him and maybe off in Jan

Fuck me that chance today though

I agree, when he bagged a long, overdue goal against the pigs it was totally noticeable how the players just walked back to the halfway line leaving the 'hated' Tom to celebrate on his own.
Clearly they all hate him.

 

[The Hobott]

I quite like him - think he'll come good

In the 1733 minutes Tom Cannon has been on the pitch for us since he joined in January 2025, we've collectively scored 24 goals. That's 1 goal per 72.2 minutes.
In that same time period we have collectively conceded 28 goals (1 per 61.9 mins).
Blades Goal Difference with Cannon on the pitch = -4
Tom Cannon has contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in those 1733 minutes.

Took his goal well today. Good shot on him when you put it on a platter for him.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Good finish today, allowed Wilder to rest Bamford as well so good on him.

Nowhere near as bad a signing as some are making out, particularly if his actual cost was closer to £5m than £10m as has been suggested.

It is 10 million. The figures are recorded in Leicester’s accounts and were made public as part of their troubles with the EPL and EFL.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

3 goals in his last 8 appearances and 4 of those were as a sub and he's not done 90 minutes.

He hasn't cracked it but that's signs of promise

 

[ancientblade]

i think bamford coming in will help cannon i think those 2 will start up front against leicester

4 in 9. Keep it up!

 

[ZoneManWilf]

I've been a critic, but an excellent performance today. Best match in a United shirt. Clinical finish and superb pressing all game long.

 

[Maurice Maurice]

If we have a problem, Tom Cannon isn't it. I gave him sackloads of shit a bit back, and I think deservedly so but with Bamford at the side of him he looks twice the player Campbell is. Big confidence game playing striker, and the way we've set up previously with a negative, slow paced build up and one up front, even the best strikers would struggle.

He's running more, he's closing down and he's grabbed a couple of goals so time to get off his back, he's doing just fine now.

[brownblade]

Hard to criticise much tonight. Few little things maybe, but overall looked a Championship striker and with a clinical finish.

 

[jono_t2000]

Right now he's earned his starting spot alongside Bamford, worried if Bamford leave tho, coz we need to play 2 up top and Campbell can't get past a mild jog at the moment.

 

[Bradfordblade]

Really pleased for him. Has a torrid time and looked completelt lost. Let's hope Bamford stays and that he can keep up the improvement

In the 1818 minutes Tom Cannon has been on the pitch for us since he joined in January 2025, we've collectively scored 26 goals. That's 1 goal per 69.9 minutes.
In that same time period we have collectively conceded 28 goals (1 per 64.9 mins).
Blades Goal Difference with Cannon on the pitch = -2
Tom Cannon has contributed 5 goals and 1 assist in those 1818 minutes.

It just goes to show what a horrendous start to his Blades career Tom Cannon had that our goal difference with him on the pitch is STILL NEGATIVE (though hopefully not for much longer as the tables seem to be turning!)

To me he looks like a player that can get off a quality shot as long as you put it on a platter for him. I'm not sure how often we will be able to do that but it's nice we've been able to do that for him a few times lately and he's certainly held up his side of the bargain.

Top work by Brooks today for the assist and credit to Cannon for finding space too.

 

[Jon B]

With Bamford alongside Cannon looks many times the player he did before.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’m not disputing that it’s right but was that the total value of the deal or the actual amount we’ll pay to Leicester regardless of performance?

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Tidy finish, good harrying and chasing. More of that please

 

[bakeblade]

He's jumped up to our number 2 striker. Campbell stinking the place out and should be behind Ings now.

 

[Iceybabey]

Need one of these threads for Campbell.

 

[blader]

Oh it’s painful. It’s so so painful.

 

[BigDon]

‘I don’t care how crap he is he starts, coz I still need to justify my decision to buy him!!’ Thanks Chris

Forgot to update after the Charlton game so this includes the last 2 fixtures.

In the 1948 minutes Tom Cannon has been on the pitch for us since he joined in January 2025, we've collectively scored 26 goals. That's 1 goal per 74.9 minutes.

In the 1973 minutes Tom Cannon has been on the pitch for us since he joined in January 2025, we've collectively scored 26 goals. That's 1 goal per 75.9 minutes.

In the 2072 minutes Tom Cannon has been on the pitch for us since he joined in January 2025, we've collectively scored 27 goals. That's 1 goal per 76.7 minutes.
In that same time period we have collectively conceded 30 goals (1 per 69.1 mins).
Blades Goal Difference with Cannon on the pitch = -3
Tom Cannon has contributed 5 goals and 1 assist in those 2072 minutes.

Now the stats have reached the 2000 minute mark they start to carry more weight. We can be happy that we're not leaking too many goals when Cannon plays though it's hard to give him much credit for that since he has little to do with defence. More worrying is how goal shy we are when he plays, often just scoring 1 goal in any given game when he's on the pitch.

It still concerns me that we have a negative goal difference when he's on the pitch, surely that can't be the case by the end of the season? We have too many other decent goalscorers for that stat to continue I think?

It doesn't help Mr Fodder that he's often played up front on his own .......

 

[Balham]

Just give up now eh? Whatever the point was, it’s been proven. Or not.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Just give up now eh? Whatever the point was, it’s been proven. Or not.

He's a wholly unremarkable footballer

 

[Keen Blade]

I'm sorry but he has no redeeming features as a striker.
He's a hapless , useless striker and running around to be second to the ball will never convince me otherwise
