As a collective, Hirst, Azon and Akpom have underperformed more than any other forward line in the Champ. If it wasn't for the xG overperformance of Jaden and Clarke, I dread to think where we'd be in the table. |
This is so obviously correct, and I can't understand why anyone would want to spin it to the contrary. We must all support our team on the pitch, but trying to pretend that black is white is bizarre. The numbers are there, and our strikers are not scoring the goals they should. Whether you put it in terms of xG, or goals minus xG, or big chances missed, they have massively underperformed, and are nowhere near being top 6 strikers in terms of their output. |  | |  |

Missed far too many chances from our number 9’s, our results could and probably should tell a very different story, but goals decide games. I like Azon, his personality, work rate and character, but conversion rate of 5% as number 9 is damming. |  | |  |

No Wednesday striker is troubling the xG or real G columns this year bless them. Missing sitters is the biggest piece of our puzzle no doubt. |
No Wednesday striker has a Jack Clarke or Jaden behind them though. |  | |  |

And no striker is going to get many passes from Philogene or Clarke given the number of goals they’ve scored this season, they're going to shot, not pass. I would rather Clarke the 2nd highest scorer in the league continues scoring rather than passing |  | |  |

My bad wasn't clear enough, that line was me supporting your point. |  | |  |

TBF Clarke has created 8 big chances and 35 chances created overall Philogene is very different But sheff wed certainly don't have a nunez, who has 8 big chances created and 48 chances created overall. |  |
