Interesting stats here for anyone looking at potential new strikers; ive picked afew out but full link bottom of the article

  • John Marquis top scorer with 16 (1 pen), 1 assist - 62 shots (35 on target)
  • Ian Henderson; 15 (5), 5 assists - 57 shots (34 on target)
  • Josh Maja; 15, 2 assists - 33 shots (20 on target)
  • Karlan Grant; 14 (3), 4 assists - 50 shots (29 on target)
  • James Collins; 14 (4), 3 assists - 46 shots (27 on target)
Players we are linked with
  • Kieffer Moore; 14 (1), 2 assists - 64 shots (32 on target)
  • Tom Eaves; 14, 1 assist - 57 shots (29 on target)

Other Notable players

  • Lyle Taylor; 12 (5), 7 assists - 54 shots (36 on target) - Most Assists for ST & highest shot on target %
  • Ched Evans; 11 (3), 4 assists - 33 shots (21 on target) - Same amount of shots as Josh

Highest scoring midfielders

  • James Henry - 10 goals 4 assists
  • Jamal Lowe - 1o goals 3 assists
  • Ronan Curtis - 9 goals 8 assists.

Shows what a good player Maja was & maybe how wasteful Eaves & Moore are compared to him. On average Sunderland AFC have just under 4 shots on target a game, pretty poor! Also shows how Pompey are getting it done without a real goal out and out goal scorer thanks to Curtis & Lowe (Gareth Evans also has 8 so that's their 3 behind the striker with 27 goals)

Ronan Curtis sounds decent.

He's a good player. Been massive for Portsmouth this year. Their striker Hawkins is a limited footballer but wins a lot of flick ons etc. They need their 3 behind to keep banging them in really. Also they're like us in which they seem to rely on their defence whereas you have a Barnsley that are really attacking.
 
He's going to take some replacing. Big week ahead for the club. Any off the radar strikers available on loan from the premier league who could hit the ground running?

Sam Gallagher at Southampton maybe. Spent last season at Birmingham got 6 goals. 11 for Blackburn in the season before but they went down.

Most of the young players you're banking on them coming in and hitting the ground running. You seen what Sinclair was like for us. Not sure how many will have high level football league experience

I'd take Evans
 
Maja has the pretty much the best minutes per goal figure in league football together with Gayle and Abraham, then there is a bit of a gap

So basically if we sign any of the strikers from this league we have to nearly double the chances we create for them to score at the same rate Maja has.

Or the chances we do create are far better chances hence most of Majas goals being 6 yards out.

You could ask the question as to why isn't Maja making more chances for himself like a lot of the other forwards will be doing.
