You also need to factor in that you don't just score headers from crosses.
Ellis v Charlton for example.
Take the piss fine, I’m cool with that and happy to be enriched with the stats but I’m sure some bright spark can tell us all how many crosses we have put into the box and how many headed goals our strikers have achieved so far !?
Quite a lot actually… 5 goals betweeen Simms and BTA.Take the piss fine, I’m cool with that and happy to be enriched with the stats but I’m sure some bright spark can tell us all how many crosses we have put into the box and how many headed goals our strikers have achieved so far !?
Fine , Fully aware of that, But I did pose the question of how many actual headed goals our current strikers have scored.You also need to factor in that you don't just score headers from crosses.

Come on and score against them within five minutes.Bench against Leicester is going to look a bit different, keep em coming
I think Keiffer Moore and Simms are tied for most headed goals. Simms was possibly also the top scorer in headers last season too - he was definitely up there.Fine , Fully aware of that, But I did pose the question of how many actual headed goals our current strikers have scored.
I think my point really is that I’d like to see another striker come in who we can feed through the middle like we did with Vik .
We have scored the most headed goals in the Championship. Crosses generally create panic and it's about the 2nd ball flick ons and I'd say we are the best at capitalising from these situations.Fine , Fully aware of that, But I did pose the question of how many actual headed goals our current strikers have scored.

You'll never sing that!We have scored the most headed goals in the Championship. Crosses generally create panic and it's about the 2nd ball flick ons and I'd say we are the best at capitalising from these situations.
if you can't see why having cover on the wings was the most important thing we needed then there's no hope for youTake the piss fine, I’m cool with that and happy to be enriched with the stats but I’m sure some bright spark can tell us all how many crosses we have put into the box and how many headed goals our strikers have achieved so far !?
We normally play with 1 striker in the middle. We normally have lots of players waiting for a cross. We have several players that are good with their head. Our striker is outnumbered easily by our other players so I would expect them to score more headers than the striker.Take the piss fine, I’m cool with that and happy to be enriched with the stats but I’m sure some bright spark can tell us all how many crosses we have put into the box and how many headed goals our strikers have achieved so far !?
Yeah you have people arriving late at the back post and that's where the goals tend to come from.We normally play with 1 striker in the middle. We normally have lots of players waiting for a cross.

It’s fun to play for the Sky Blue Army,

Not necessarily - Leicester doesn’t fit well with the rest of the song.It’s going to be the you eat dogs song isn’t it? Come on we know our fans.
That's a brilliant song.Min Yang min Yang
Oh Baby when he moves he moves
We go crazy when he shoots with so much power
And he stings like a bee
He will go down In history
To Ricky Martin she bangs
Simms has managed to do that in less than half the minutes played that Moore has 905 v 1917Quite a lot actually… 5 goals betweeen Simms and BTA.
Simms has the same amount of headed goals as Keiffer Moore who some people seem to think would score a bagful of headers under us.
With Vik I thought we just hoofed it in his general direction and left him to out pace/out muscle the defenders.Fine , Fully aware of that, But I did pose the question of how many actual headed goals our current strikers have scored.

I’m pretty sure 4 headers would have had Simms up there with the top ‘headed’ scorers last season. In this respect, the ‘eye test’ has failed a lot of people saying we need a striker to score headers. As you point out, Simms has played half the minutes as Moore and a few contributors said Moore would be ‘perfect’ for that role.Simms has managed to do that in less than half the minutes played that Moore has 905 v 1917
To be sung whenever he leaves a defender on their arse (or two-foots them!):Is there a song to be made based on Bang Bang by BA Robertson?

Man Utd had “could be worse - could be a scouse eating rats in your council house”
I can only remember him scoring one or two headers tbhNot many of Viks goals were headers!

Ignore me, I was thinking of the Nancy Sinatra song...To be sung whenever he leaves a defender on their arse (or two-foots them!):
Yang Yang...
he shot you down
Yang Yang...
You hit the ground
Yang Yang... ... ...
Our winger shot you down
I can only remember him scoring one or two headers tbh
