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 !?

You also need to factor in that you don't just score headers from crosses.
Ellis v Charlton for example.

Quite 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.

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 .

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.

Unless there’s a CB with 5 headed goals in the league somewhere, Moore and Simms are tied.

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. 58949.jpg

if you can't see why having cover on the wings was the most important thing we needed then there's no hope for you

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.

Yeah you have people arriving late at the back post and that's where the goals tend to come from.

You'll see our profile raise in Korea now in the same way that Tats got Japanese football fans interested in us. English football is massive out there, probably even more than in Japan

It’s going to be the you eat dogs song isn’t it? Come on we know our fans.

Thankfully not as the Man Utd version was about the scouse, we don't have anyone to sing about that rhymes with house

With Vik I thought we just hoofed it in his general direction and left him to out pace/out muscle the defenders.

Feed through the middle is quite generous.

Simms has managed to do that in less than half the minutes played that Moore has 905 v 1917
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.

When you dig into the numbers, most teams won’t even score 10 headed goals in 46 games across the entire squad. So one player scoring 3-4 is quite a lot, this is clearly missed on a lot of people.

Not necessarily - Leicester doesn’t fit well with the rest of the song.

Man Utd had “could be worse - could be a scouse eating rats in your council house”

I mean we’re talking the geniuses who sang “she said yes” and “your sister is your brother” which sounds more like a supportive song about your friend transsexual sibling than incest.
