Don’t see how that has been apparent at all - Mcgoldrick wasn’t a penalty box finisher either
He is a natural goalscorer. I think you know exactly what I mean by that.
JCH isn't a natural goalscorer. Biamou isn't a natural goalscorer. Bakayoko isn't a natural goalscorer.
McNulty was. McGoldrick was. Think you know exactly what I mean. It's a instinct thing and a natural finisher thing.
McGoldrick scored 76% of his goals for us from inside the box.Don’t see how that has been apparent at all - Mcgoldrick wasn’t a penalty box finisher either
was called mcgoaldraught before he joined thoughMcGoldrick scored 76% of his goals for us from inside the box.
tbf, he's currently one of our top scorers...and turn him into one of our top scorers by the seasons end.
I think Mark Robins and AV will work with Bakayoko and turn him into one of our top scorers by the seasons end.
Walsall hardly ever work at developing players (other than Tom Bradshaw) - I think we might reap the benefit over the course of the season.
I remember everyone slagging McNulty off this time last season.
Trust me you heard it here first!

What makes you say players are pissed off the Bakayoko in the starting 11? Where's that come from? Never heard anyone else mention that as a possible rumour.If Robins is saying that Bakayoko is a better player than Ponticelli then I fucking give up.
Bakayoko will turn out to me one of our worst signings ever. I though Vincenti was a terrible signing but Bakayoko takes it to another level.
I can’t believe Robins signed Bakayoko and must have had him pushed on him. That’s the only excuse I can think of? It’s like going out with 10 men and were handicapped straight away with him. No wonder players get pissed off with Bakayoko in the starting 11.
Before anyone asks no I’m not a fan of him!
So we give him an easy ride then but not others because “he’s one of our own”?:emoji_thinking:

He is big 6ft 4" I think and he is quick - I agree his positioning is all over the place right now but that can be coached out - have faith in AV as he is one of the best coaches outside the Premier League.They may improve his knowledge of the offside rule, but not his ability as a striker.
Even when McNulty wasn’t firing last season, you could see his all round play was geared towards him being a good forward at the level we were at, it just wasn’t going in for him at the start.
I don’t see any of that being replicated with Bakayoko, he looks awful!

Not sure finishing can be coached that easily

Still doesn’t show him as an instinctive finisher but is interesting as it means 14.44 goals were scored in the penalty area
Where is the source for that?
Didn't stop us with Bakayoko, Nick!He isn't the same sort of player as Biamou though so in theory we can't chuck him in and expect him to do the same thing now Biamou is injured. He is the sort of player that would thrive from playing alongside Biamou.
I'd agree but he scored a blinder from outside the box last season. It was like a perfect golf shot onto the green, dipping and swerving it's way over the defenders and beyond the 'keepers reach...thought he deserved a run after that but he's not a winger and that was the only way into the side last year with Biamou-McNulty working up top.Change 'goalscorer' to 'finisher' and I'd agree with his comment.

Surely we need all hands on deck when it comes to players playing up front right now, unless we have someone lined up?
Or will we do another ‘mcdonald’ and let one player go without replacing them first?
As frustrating as it must be Chaplin, Pompey might be right in not letting him go before they replace him!
I think you can improve, but what you can't coach is the instinct of being in the right place at the right time. You can learn to be better but it won't be instinctive.

Come on. He's been prolific at all junior levels. He's a penalty box goalscorer. Whilst he's not yet been prolific at first team level we can all see that he gets himself into the right positions and has chipped in when he's been given a chance.What a load of cobblers that “natural goalscorer” theory is. Where are the goals then?
I'd still say that qualifies him as a great finisher rather than a goalscorer. Most strikers at one point in their career can score a screamer. That doesn't necessarily qualify them as a goalscorer, or a great finisher for that matter. Look at Biamou as a case in point - scores great goals but isn't a goalscorer. Goalscorer's bare the title because they have a career record to back that title up. Doesn't really matter the type or quality of goal he scored, Ponti only scored 6 goals last season.

Maybe like McSheffrey at Luton? But like McSheffrey, he was already good enough, actually...He isn’t getting games so I think he needs to go out on loan however I think he has something to offer and will be a mistake. Not sure if he is a poor trainer so doesn’t ‘deserve’ a start but still think he is our best chance of goals this season but maybe 3 months at Tranmere might highlight this to MR
