Another one from our recent past in there. I suspect Carrick might have used Flo more effectively than the previous manager!

It went in (on the rebound) so I think that’s ok, although it’s fair to say he need more practice.Nobody will be looking at him of they need a penalty taker. He is shocking at spot kicks lol.
Bamford was the last one that came close, he got 17 in the league and we were a less attacking team under Karanka than we are under Carrick. The championship is very different to the PL as well. Players like Rav, Yakubu, Viduka, Jimmy, Ricard and Boksic were a different level.We’re on an all time high with Chuba. I know the last time we had a decent striker was way back when, but Chuba is so different.
Many have lived through the white feather, Bernie, Hendrie and Hickey but honestly the fella (not to disrespect the others) is way above them. One of the posts today hit the nail on the head— the finish for the offside goal was way up there amongst the elite strikers. I’d even go as far as to say he’s in a different class to anything in the championship or perhaps in other leagues.
Ok he’s having a purple patch maybe but even when he was out in Greece some of the goals he scored there should have been ample warning of what was to come from him— and now we’re seeing it for real.
He’s had the extra year activated, I suspect both parties have agreed to look at a longer contract in the summer when we know what division we’ll be in.Bamford was the last one that came close, he got 17 in the league and we were a less attacking team under Karanka than we are under Carrick.

I was one of the majority expecting Akpom's career to continue as it was so hopefully this is just me understanding him again but I don't think he'd be capable of replicating this form at the highest level.
Need to get that contract extension sorted.

Promotion... focus on that & the goals will come.I know Slav got 21 and Hickton got 25. Camsell obviously crazy amount but what are the other targets for Chuba?

Chuba is doing amazingly well this season but it’s the Championship. Way too early to be saying he is ‘way above’ players like Rav, Viduka, Jimmy etc.

Doing it season after season like those playersI know Slav got 21 and Hickton got 25. Camsell obviously crazy amount but what are the other targets for Chuba?
