last time we reached the Prem.... 16:10 - Jul 18 with 1786 views | blueysbackside | ....we scored 92 goals. If Omari now leaves - and good luck to him if he does - we are gonna need some stellar attacking replacements or players having a fantastic season, which, of course, is possible. We'll need, say, Ogbeni, Clarke, Szmodics, Philogene, Chaplin and Broadhead to be contributing close to 10 goals, while Hirst will arguably need to step up, too. Can't see it happening in terms of us being top two right now. All of that can change with the right incomings. |  | | |  |
last time we reached the Prem.... on 16:16 - Jul 18 with 1482 views | Guthrum | In their respective last full seasons in the Championship, the six you name scored an aggregated total of 88 goals between them. Hirst scored a further 7. That's 95 in total. |  |

Could chuck in Leif Davis (2/18) if you like as well. |  |

PLUS we’ve already added Smozdics who scored 27, Jack Clarke 15, Philogene 12 and Greaves got a couple to replace the ones Burgess scored. |  | |  |

O'Shea is going to get 5 in the league as well. Mark my words. |  |

Let's remember that of the players still here, some have also now played in the premier league and will have learnt from that experience and be better players as a result. |  | |  |

Honestly, I get it why people need to have a little bit of stress about a new season, and we do need to bring a new CF and 2 CM in, but the extent to which people need to find new things to worry about amazes me sometimes. |  |

Its an absolutely b0llocks statistic really, depends so much on game time and how players are used etc. Ultimately (barring red cards) its 11 v 11 at any moment in time. We need to put the percentages in our favour by having a stronger, better organised, fitter, motivated and technically superior 11 than the opposition. Whoever is occupying those forward roles will score goals, our players are too good at this level not to. |  | |  |

So my point still stands - even if you feel there's no point to it. We need the aforementioned players to repeat what they've done before. I can't see it. Should I change my view to something positive because that's what I believe? I don't understand these posters who moan about other people's posts if it doesn't agree with their narrative. Perhaps all the posts should go through you and then you can select which ones to put on here. ALL views are welcome. |  | |  |

No. Is that wrong? I can't see all of them hitting the heights they did for other teams. That's my fear. Sorry if not everyone agrees with it. Surely you also have to take into account how many games they've played together - in the same team - at this level? A big ask, I'd say. |  | |  |

We do have a load of attacking options. I'd be interested to know how many of those players you think will better what they did in 23-24 (taking away Ogbene? |  | |  |

So you're assuming they can repeat those goal-scoring returns. I don't. |  | |  |

I'm assuming nothing, but it seems oddly pessimistic to seemingly believe that a whole host of players with great goalscoring records in this league suddenly hit the skids. |  |
