It's bonkers. We've had so so many woeful strikers down the years. Even the really great players of the 90s moving on to Benteke who had a wonderful season not done it. He's going to go way way beyond. Pongo Abraham 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Obviously you have to control for level, what the likes of Yorke and Benteke did in the premier league is a better achievement than what Abraham's doing at this level. Aside from that, at this rate Tammy could well be hitting 30+. Just a shame that we have a goalscorer like this but are such a mess in other positions. Some smarter purchases in defence and midfield would have given us a genuine automatic promotion calibre side.

Tomaszk Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think he'd come on loan again if we went up. He's still, even with our crap form, getting loads of chances a game. He must be loving the sights on goal he gets. It's good work from him and something about the way we setup that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He’s a goal machine at this level and I believe he will next season have a very good return in terms of goals in the Premier League. With who will be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He would score 50 per season if he stopped missing sitters! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He's evolving, not just the goals his all round play. He works so hard for the team, he chasea deep lying midfielders down, he's excellent at defending corners and he's starting to link up the ball much better. I love his attitude, when he leaves he will get all the best wishes as he's too good for us down here unless we somehow get promoted. I hope he leaves Chelsea too he's too good for their bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before yesterday I did not realise what quick feet he has. Some of his close control and passing was brilliant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I can’t get excited about him banging in the goals. This is why I don’t like loans. You love them then they leave you. Just like Snodgrass. I’m obviously thrilled he’s banging them in but I’d be getting way more excited about his form if I didn’t know he’d be a distant memory in 6 months’ time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any club in the championship has a player banging in 20+ goals they will be getting sold whether you want them to or not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 27, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2019 It's worth remembering that he missed the opening six games of the season doing nothing at Chelsea. He's played half a season - a full season of this would bring you 38 goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played an excuisite crossfield ball yesterday straight to the feet of (Adomah?) who of course made a hash of it.

villan-scott Posted January 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2019 The leagues top scorer last season was Vydra, he scored 21 goals. Shows how impressive Abraham’s haul has been in just 23 games The last player, and only player since the league turned into ‘The Championship’ in 2004 to score 30 league goals was Glenn Murray for Palace in 12-13. Theres a few who scored 27 and 28, like Ricky Lambert and our very own flying Scotsmen from his Leeds days. Hopefully Tammy can surpass these if he continues his form.

Tammy's shots per game for Swansea were only 1.4, he managed 5 goals in 1721 games. But if you are only getting 1 chance a game it significantly decreases the likelihood of scoring.

Dave-R Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What a sniper he is, he doesn't half poach those goals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't think we have had a 20 goal season man in the league since we won the league. Ok its a level below but he is on his way to double that if he keeps going like he is. Hes got to be a top Premier League player and future England striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
