True but also our first preseason game is tomorrow and we still haven't signed anyone yet in a year we are meant to be doing a squad rebuild and looking at 11 signings according to Percy. Not exactly good preparation for the team for none of them to be in yet. We are slow again and look like we are going to be leaving it until the last minute again. No changes seen so far...

He will score less than ayew did last season imo

Or maybe I just have expectations above absolute rock bottom, however bad a place we are in we should be expecting to be able to attract players who can score at least 15-20 goals in league 1 especially when people at the bottom of the league can. That is not unrealistic expectations

Rotherham who finished 2nd bottum of league 1 last year had someone who scored 12 in one season last year twice what ings has scored in the last 3 we absolutely can expect better

It really isnt he record over the last couple of seasons it literally the most relevant peice of information. You can't sign someone who has been awful just because they were good more than 5 years ago and then just completely write of there last 5 years as irrelevant thats idiotic

He's scored 6 goals in 75 games as a striker even as a league 1 club you can expect better than that

6 goals in his last 75 games 0.08 goals per game or 1 goal every 12 games But he used to play for Southampton so he must be good right....

At least we know Ghana wont score starting Ayew upfront

Yes i agree we probably need a better no 1 but Jacub is good enough, definitely not a priority

We wont get anyone in then we will get a couple of panic loans in on deadline day and start tye season with no striker again

Not played for Southampton so non starter

Or as it turns out not balance the books

He will be sacked soon and never mentioned as a candidate again thats the only positive

Why do people keep saying this his best finish in league 1 was 13th with a team that got promoted immediately after he left. He has had 1 half successful season ever where he failed to get southampton automatic promotion every other season he has managed has been a complete disaster what about any of that makes people think he will be alright for league 1?

Russell Martin has manged 269 games and of those in 46 of them his team has conceded 3 or more goals thats 17 % or 1 in 6 (5.8) games which means over the course of a 46 game league 1 season (not including cup games we can be expected to concede 3 or more goals about 8 times! Yet we have decided he is the one! Does anyone at this club know anything about football?
