Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
I think Wood has 12 Premier League goals now this season. Any player who gets close to 15 is a top Premier League forward. He can still get 15.

This stat is quite true but at the same time, highlights just how reliant upon this combination we are! Something to address in the summer months...

Think Brighton and Cardiff would both accept one for the run in.
Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
If Wood gets the service he'll score goals. Never really understood the stick he gets.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
If we had a more creative midfield he 'Wood' have scored more. McNeil is creative and bang!!!teo today. Also no striker can be effective every game a d thats why opfions shoukd be available.

If he could put away 1/3 of the simple tap in chances he gets he would be in the high 20’s per season

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
So if he gets say 5 tap-ins per season (like today's second), then he ought to get 20, and that would be 20 out of 60? I doubt that Wood genuinely gets 60 easy tap-ins per season. Are you saying that a really competent forward (who can score two thirds of his tap-ins) ought to get close to 50 goals per season for Burnley?Burnleyareback2 wrote:If he could put away 1/3 of the simple tap in chances he gets he would be in the high 20’s per season

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Of the twenty players who have scored 11 or more (Wood and Barnes have 10 each, according to the Premier League website), as far as I can see only Vardy, King, Wilson, and Murray have never been sold for over £30m. And Vardy could have been if Leicester had accepted an offer. (Not sure about Milivojevic, but all but one of his have been penalties anyway.)
So an upgrade on Barnes and Wood wouldn't be easy.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Having two strikers on 10 goals each with 4 games left is good going for a non top six side. 1 in 3 strikers
Having played more minutes, granted, but our boys are level with £50m Martial, £100m rated Rashford.

If we pretend that penalties don't count then I think Wood would be even higher up that list.

Indeed, and Wilson was valued at £50m in the january window so will likely go for over £30m this summer.dsr wrote:Of the twenty players who have scored 11 or more (Wood and Barnes have 10 each, according to the Premier League website), as far as I can see only Vardy, King, Wilson, and Murray have never been sold for over £30m.

3 or 4 chances per game that he either misses or doesn’t attack.dsr wrote:So if he gets say 5 tap-ins per season (like today's second), then he ought to get 20, and that would be 20 out of 60?

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Sitters every week, not sure if he has really had a run of confidence yet but so many simple ones get missed. On an attack his first instinct is to hold up play and pass. Dwight shows more confidence and strikers instinct.Rileybobs wrote:Really? Seems pretty clinical to me. Although he did miss a sitter with his head.
Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Getting 10 goals a season for us at this level is not to be sniffed at, especially when our strikers are generally feeding off scraps. We should be looking to bring in a striker who is at least on a par with Barnes and Wood and can offer serious competition.
Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
So over the season, that's between 114 and 152 good chances that he fails to take? Not many forwards score goals at that sort of rate. Wood can't be the only bad one out there!Burnleyareback2 wrote:3 or 4 chances per game that he either misses or doesn’t attack.

Where are the posters on here, who were calling Wood "the plank" and saying we should offload him back to Leeds and cut our losses.? To ssers.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
And if he got 1/3 of them it would be fantastic. You can get by in the Championship with a low goal ratio to chance score, but it’s much tighter in this league.dsr wrote:So over the season, that's between 114 and 152 good chances that he fails to take?

We are making more than a fair share of chances, just need an out an out goal scorer.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Seeing as the thread title refers to 20 goal strikers, I thought I'd look up just what sort of player we are talking about. So these are the players in the last 5 seasons (including this one) who have scored 20 goals in a season, excluding penalties:Burnleyareback2 wrote: And if he got 1/3 of them it would be fantastic.

Sergio Aguero (twice)
Diego Costa
Harry Kane (3 times)
Romelu Lukaku
Mo Salah
Alexei Sanchez
And I think it's fair to assume that these players all had more chances than Wood, because they play for sides that have more of the ball in the opposition area. But this is the starting point, if you;re looking for players who can score at least 50% more of their chances - this is the sort of player we are looking for. Presumably.

I don’t work in the recruitment team at Burnley but the likes of Payton must be wishing he was part of a later generation.
Of recent times an Austin would be a hero.

For all we know that might be Vydra on the training ground, not quite good enough to break into the team but putting the wind up Wood & Barnes.jrgbfc wrote:We should be looking to bring in a striker who is at least on a par with Barnes and Wood and can offer serious competition.
I don't think with Barnes & Wood we'll be looking at a major striker signing in summer, maybe someone to replace Crouch's place in the squad to make the numbers up. I still think we might recall Wells as it costs us nothing really.

Why does it matter what generation Payton played in? He wasn’t good enough for the top level when he played so he certainly wouldn’t have been good enough to play in the PL now.Burnleyareback2 wrote:I don’t work in the recruitment team at Burnley but the likes of Payton must be wishing he was part of a later generation.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Chelsea allegedly want £40 million for Batshuayi and he's an overrated bag of toss despite what some on here will claim about him
Admittedly Chelsea have that transfer ban for a couple of windows, but he's still not worth that much, so demanding a 20 goals a season striker is amusing when rubbish like him is being touted for that much.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
It's not healthy to have Barnes and Wood know they are guaranteed to start every game no matter what though. What happens if one of them gets a bad injury? For me we should be looking to spend 15/20 million on a striker, I'd be looking at Bowen at Hull.CombatClaret wrote:For all we know that might be Vydra on the training ground, not quite good enough to break into the team but putting the wind up Wood & Barnes.

Re: Who needs a 20 goal per season striker?
Begs the question why Dyche wouldn't play the pair of them in the first half of the season. Plus there's more to forward play than just goals. We have a very rigid conservative system that means our midfield is more a functional than creative but at the level above us top strikers need a bit more to their game than what our pair offer. I'd love us to bring in an Ings style player but under our current system our two big lumps work perfectly
