All strikers miss chances that you would hope they would be scoring, to pretend otherwise is disingenuous. The top scorers in the Championship have scored 5, Bamford has scored 4 - and was the width of the woodwork away from 5. So I think you're expecting too much, even Harry Kane has only scored 3 goals (and 1 pen) from 6 league games. He's putting his chances away at a reasonable rate - he's not as prolific as a Sterling or an Aguero but he's on a par with Grabban and Phillips and that's about all we can expect. We didn't win yesterday because Klich missed the penalty that Bamford won, simple as imho.

He needs to start putting some of these chances away. This isn't anti-Bamford or denigrating what he does but that is his role. We need those goals (as yesterday made absolutely clear) and he was brought in to do that. > > > > Nick _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
