I have said this before, but Zian Fleming who cost us £20mil, even as a bench striker offers us as much as just being able to run around a bit when he comes on. One goal from open play (so as many as Akpom). Not many words of criticism but if this was one of the maligned "League One boys" he'd be gettering pelters for what he's offering us when he comes on.
He's this seasons Sam S in the sense he had one good season (granted in the top flight) and now looks every bit a Championship player out there with the occasional neater touch. He looks no better than Hirst did for us in 24/25 and that might upset a few, but he really isn't looking worth what we spent on him at all.
The problem is Emersonn also isn't looking like a Premier League player either yet, and there lies the overall problem we have, we simply still don't have enough Premier League level players to stay up comfortably.

He's averaging a goal per 85 minutes of football to be fair to him. I do think its incredibly difficult to come on in games at this level and get up to the speed, its a bit of a thankless task.
He can't contribute from the bench, and strikers need to play themselves in to form. Give him a run of starts.
As for staying up comfortably, you would have to be naïve to think that was ever the expectation. Promoted clubs doing that are very much the exception rather than norm. [Post edited 9 Nov 9:40]
