miketh2nd Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just wondering if having the brilliant Tammy has masked how we have been playing this season? I know football is a game of luck but imagine where we would be without his 18 goals?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheddarReds Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Without Tammy, Gustav would be nearing 30 for the season by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 But he has scored 18 goals and he hasn't done it all on his own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very good point, if anything I think Kodjia goals meant more as some of his goals were made by himself rather then say Tammys poaching style (not saying this is a bad thing).

JasonM88 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 The same could be said for any star striker in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadredfred Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Could it not be said about any striker? Where would Leicester have been without Vardy's goals? Chelsea without Costa's? I do agree with your point though. 18 goals in a full debut season for any striker is fantastic. He has the skills to run rampage in this league, even in our stuttering side. A shining light in a ever dimming season. Well done Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Tammy How that that delightful over head goal didnt win the game, such a shame. I feel for next seasons replacement when we are used to the delights of Kodjia and Tammy recently.

Maybe, or we'd have held out for even more on the basis if Villa didn't pay up we'd have still had him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Dastardly Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Abraham is a fine player. However, he is not our player. If we survive this year what the hell are we going to do next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Over the past few games we'd have worse goal difference...but we'd have the same points. I often think it's odd to isolate a single player's contribution. Who knows what might have happened in his absence...who might have scored, cocked up, assisted etc? But to play along I looked up his record. Over the season he's actually only scored goals that have changed a league match result 4 times - against Burton (W), Rotherham (D), Forest (W) and Barnsley (D). So you could say he's contributed to 8 points. We also might not have conceded against QPR when he lost the ball outbon the wing on the half way line, so maybe he lost us a point there. So maybe...maybe...we'd be on 20 instead of 27...and be 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst that sounds like a worrying statistic, three of those players are new and one is a goalkeeper. Agree with the overall point though, we have to spread goals better.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 He's helped in a major way sure, and for sure we would be worse off both in terms of points and what will probably be crucial, Goal Difference! However, assists. Just as important as goals, both lead to goals ultimately. Doesn't usually do it all himself, he may develop this side of game as he gets older and progresses- but to me goal and assist basically the same importance.

But be fair, if you discounted the 2 first choice strikers from every other club, plus 2 other regular first team starters, what would their starting line ups have scored..? Granted, probably more than ours on Saturday, but probably not quite looking as bad as your post made it sound, by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Was a big opportunity to push on this season and mount a challenge with Tammy. Instead we are fighting relegation ( we won't go down due to some dire teams in this league) and will have to find a replacement in the summer. Massive opportunity missed.
