"One Teddy Maybank" thinks he might be a 1 in 6 chances type of player. "The" Teddy Maybank could only dream of those stats.

Do you ever watch the pre-match warm up? They essentially do this - one of the coaches plays the ball to each player in turn, and they take a shot. It's amazing how often they miss.
Precisely.......and that’s without the in-game pressure.
I’d absolutely take 1 in 6 now that we seem able to create enough decent chances - that would put him on a par with, for example, Aguero who averages 4.5 shots per game with a scoring ratio of about 0.8 goals per game.

At Brentford Maupay averaged 1 goal for every 5.6 shots in the Championship, Excluding penalties.
To make a comparison, here are Glenn's stats for Championship compared with his Premier League numbers, excluding penalties.
16/17 Champ. 4.8 shots per goal scored
17/18 Prem. 4.6 shots per goal scored
18/19 Prem. 4.3 shots per goal scored
And Sergio Aguero's stats since he joined the Premier League are,
5.48 shots per goal scored, excluding penalties.
Just goes to show how good Glenn is, and what big boots Maupay will need to fill when Glenn hangs them up.

We have just come off the back of a season where if we did not score from our 1 shot on target per game we would not get a result now we are moaning we are missing 2-3 good chances in a game!!
Honestly you could not make it up. Keep that up the strikers will find their feet and the goals will flow

Burn's and Murray's misses would both have been ruled out through VAR, i think. Both are shown on the extended highlights on the official site.
Matching Glenn's conversion rate is a big ask for any striker but thankfully isn't necessary. I'm hopeful Maupay (or someone else) will take more shots than Glenn, having got in behind the defence more frequently.
Yup, Murray’s ratio is extraordinary........there just aren’t enough shots now though. Maupay will get in to shooting positions far more often

Excellent. Never seen these stats before. Shows Muzza in a good light.
Also Maupay should get more chances with our new Potterball style and with his conversion rate being somewhat similar to his Championship rate (hopefully).

Spot on. As if we didn't know already, Murray is an extraordinary goalscorer. It's his lack of pace that's the problem. With a bit of luck, he'll start home games this season (where pace isn't quite so important), but not away (when we'll have less possession).

How very dare you Sir!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I’ll refer you to our first ever goal in the top division and key goals in the run in vs Luton and Blackburn [emoji23][emoji23]

I remember his first goal in the second division and the crowd around me saying what a good buy he was!
Think it was in the first 5 mins (definitely the first 10) ?
Did he score our first goal in the old First Div at Villa? I honestly can't remember.
I also remember some of our fans not being so happy with him at Kennilworth Road. They started a two word chant about him. the second word was out

Yes, I remember that first game though not the opponent, scored in his second as well at Blackpool.

He was a bit of a flair player but never on the same wavelength as Wardie. Remember his bicycle kick against Sunderland which hit the bar.

But will GP make as much distinction on the home/away aspect as CH did? I haven't noticed much difference so far
although no doubt that will change when we visit fortresses.
