Ashley Fletcher back in the Championship

Showed what he could do in flashes unfortunately those flashes such as WBA were few and far between. I think he had a good game in the FA Cup too against Peterborough
 
I wonder how Charlie Wyke is getting on ? He played a few games pre season but hasnt been in the squad first couple of games.
 
Martyn Waghorn going back to Derby. Scored 1 goal in 27 for Coventry last season we dodged one there.

Looks like he ticked all the boxes for the type of striker we went for . Obviously everything is changing and we’re going to be the training ground for strikers now 👍😉
 
I actually think he is a decent footballer and might surprise a few people on here this season if he gets a run of games!
Yes if only he had enough time here, 5 years just wasn’t quite long enough.

No idea how he got that contract at Watford, they sussed him out straight away.
 
The original FMTTM 'definitely a player in there' 😂

I mean he had 4 years with us. A loan at Sunderland and 2 more clubs in quick succession. Yet done nothing.

I would suggest he'd done 'nothing' prior to us paying 7 mil for him. That's on the back of 8 goals in league 1 for Barnsley.

He's in the Saville / Flint bracket of 'who thought that was a decent fee?'. You'd walkout laughing when quoted 7mil for any of them.
 
Players like him fit perfectly into algorithms with a few stats and facts, don't they?

Had contract with PL club. Purchased for £7m. Saw out contract at Championship club who came close to/in play-offs. - That puts him in the same bracket as Messrs A, B and C. Scored whatever% of team goals when on pitch.

...and then you watch him play every week and realise your error: played in a low scoring team and saw out the contract because nobody was daft enough to pay what we did. Not all data is meaningful.
