The only argument here is whether Aaronson can compensate in any part for the loss of Summerville. Of course we have two fantastic wingers in James and Gnonto. So the Summerville loss is not huge. Hopefully Aaronson can produce as a 3rd option.
You know I only watched the Valencia game as it was the only vaguely competitive one we played.
I think we will score more goals than we did last year. And I also think that production will be spread out a bit more than last season where we seemed so dependent on Summerville. The reality is we were 4th in goals scored behind the 3 teams that were promoted. We scored 81 goals in 46 matches for an average of 1.76 goals per match. We can and will do better.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 5:41 pm The only argument here is whether Aaronson can compensate in any part for the loss of Summerville.

But Wober is a great replacement for Cooper
Farke was asked about replacing Summerville's goals. He mentioned James getting into double figures last season and Gnonto is always a goal threat.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 6:39 pm I think we will score more goals than we did last year.

As for Aaronson scoring goals. I don't see more than around 6 or 6 goals from him this season. And that's assuming he gets a fairly significant amount of time on the pitch. But I can definitely see him with double digit assists in this league. And I think that would be enough to call it a successful year for him. But it depends on how many minutes he actually gets. And I'm not convinced he will be a starter.
I think we will score more goals than last year too. I also tink the main reason we are stronger or better equipped is that the majority of our players are now proven at this level. Last season we had a lot of players that there were questions about even the likes of Ampadu despite the amount of games he had played. We don't have those questions this season as the only players that aren't experienced championship players are Aaronsen and Wober and it appears that both of them will be squad options initially.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 6:39 pm I think we will score more goals than we did last year.

I still think we need four signings, unconvinced we'll get four, I'm also a bit apprehensive we could lose another main player. Nerve-wracking times for all our fans, I just wish we could wave a magic wand & all our transfer business was done!Cjay wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 5:44 pm You know I only watched the Valencia game as it was the only vaguely competitive one we played.
A game we played well in but not one that answers the thing Farke struggled with most last season, how will he cope when teams actively shut us down and he can't rely on Summerville.
Until we see how that pans out I reserve judgement, hopeful, but not without 3,4 new signings would I be fairly confident
Nothing can be gained from the other 3 bar hopefully some confidence for the players.
You yourself said we required "4 of 5 new signings" but most only wanted 2 or 3 in January so how can you keep claiming the squad is better?
I realise new season optimism etc but it's contradictory.
Like me, you watch our matches twice, Jammy.

Only asking face value gor it. Pm me if you would like it.
Been a member here for many years and never sold a ticket before so unsure what to do
I'm hopeful that Aaronson will hit double figures for goals this season and also think he'll force is way into the starting eleven and then stay there.BlackHillsPaul wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 6:39 pm I think we will score more goals than we did last year.

Watching the game again is something I've always done and the Wembley loss was more bearable once viewed again. Those fans leaving the stadium feeling we hadn't turned up were wrong as we were a crossbar away from forcing ET and potentially going up.
On pre-season evidence, I'm expecting 12 to 15 goals from Georginio.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 6:56 pm Farke was asked about replacing Summerville's goals. He mentioned James getting into double figures last season and Gnonto is always a goal threat.
Rutter should chip in more goals this season. And we should get a something more from midfield. Bogle more of a threat than Gray. Hopefully we get a consistent striker this season too. That really would make the difference.
McCarthy also made a decent save from Dan's other shot.
Who for?
I believe whoever wants to purchase your ticket, you have to sign them up on your LUFC friends & family profile, then e.mail your ticket to that person. I'm not entirely sure though!
