What about Sam Jones as well? 7 goals in 16 starts last season is pretty impressive!


Completely agree!

And i can see Osborne getting around the 10 goal mark!

Yussuf is only 24, and can play a big part in our season IMO

Sam will score a good amount but for him and the other non strikers they have to get upfield and playing around the penalty area not out wide or deep in midfield.

Quoted from devon mariner
"i like Yussuf, he looks like he's bulked up in the summer and looks strong and fast but not convinced he's a 15 - 20 goal a season man."

Not sure that he needs to be if he puts himself about and gets the midfield involved as well.  I can see some midfielders getting 5 or 6 goals each from his style of play.  Add into that penalties and free kicks around the box he could end up with 20 to 30 assists instead.


Absolutely agree mate, although 20-30 assists is pushing it a bit ha.

However the original question was "is he a natural goalscorer" and in my opinion I don't think he is.

I do think he'll play an important role in the side this year though - possibly coming off the bench and using his pace and power to terrorise tiring defences towards the latter stages of games.

Yusuf could be the John Paul Pitman type of striker but one who stays fit.

Kelly showed some good skill and pace at times last night but his final pass/cross was generally lacking. Have a feeling he could be very good on his day, but I wonder how often that day will come!

It might help once we've signed a left-back permanently so Kelly can develop a better understanding with whoever is playing behind him.

He did make some good quick forward runs and his ball control was ok, However I agree there was little end product as he did not stop until he was at the bye line and closed down. An earlier cross might have been more productive or he could have cut inside himself. Early cross supposes we have a couple of bodies in the box but often we didn't. We seem to have had so many wide players like this over recent seasons. Tombola has improved this aspect of his game though and when played wide Dembele can make things happen, so all is not doom and gloom.

Depends how bad Osborne's injury is

Also for how good Osborne is if you look at his career to date you'll see that Osborne is not really a goalscorer, it seems to be the only thing he lacks, whether he can develop a goal scoring touch time will tell but I think Osborne won't get double figures.

Will Yussef get a chance, pre season suggests he deserves one.
