Yep, there isn’t another striker in the league with his movement

Which is why he gets so many chances. There’s no striker in the world that takes all of them. Probably not even most of them!

        we are 14th in the champs with 23% drawn games they are 9th with 26% (NCFC) - Tombs, Apr 6, 12:52:02

      - Ffs do you have to pick a fight on everything? (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 6, 12:03:59
        
        I understood and agreed, Jim (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 6, 13:29:28
        
        Glad you now agree it's not incredible then. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 12:08:53
        
        I’m certainly surprised (pleasantly) that after dropping 4 out of 6 points were better off (NCFC) - Drurys Left Nut, Apr 6, 12:36:16
        
        Swansea losing four straight games is pretty incredible. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 13:07:42
        
        also incredible; sheffield mittwoch winning five frikkin' zip (NCFC) - Tombs, Apr 6, 12:41:08
    - I agree tbh. Though I guess it's not incredible given we see similar time and again (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 11:28:19
      - Only just seen - Goreham has written about the exact same game and feeling this morning (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 13:29:42
      - Excatly. It's not 'incredible' at all. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 11:57:38
      - Think it was Brentford - Canos scored I think? (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 11:30:19
        
        The weird thing about that run of draws is the Reading game. (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 12:05:55
      - Yes, that's right, Brentford beat Leeds 2-0 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 11:30:09
        
        Yes! Coming back to me now (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 6, 11:30:54
        
        Coming back like those twats behind us at Stoke giving Anal grief every time ... (NCFC) - APB, Apr 6, 12:50:39
        
        Should probably see a Doctor about that, pal. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Apr 6, 13:02:47
        
        Too late. The damage is done. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Apr 6, 13:35:46
  - You'd have expected one of Swansea or Brentford to win a game though (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:37:23
    - You would expect it (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 10:40:00
      - I haven’t looked but I wonder what the odds would have been on neither winning? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:49:59
- I've gone with a solidly sensible 2-0 win. Three points, bagged. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Apr 6, 10:22:11
- Would be nice but they are a bielsa style high tempo team... (NCFC) - loz, Apr 6, 10:08:43
  - And yet the biggest danger will probably be from long throws (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:54:01
  - I think the away performance is of zero relevance (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:45:39
- Greedy for goals (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Apr 6, 10:06:11
- I agree - I hope we go for the jugular (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:03:38
- Yeah me too. I think we will get that sort of performance to be honest. (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Apr 6, 09:55:54
- Pukki needs to start converting more than score one and miss 6. He offers a lot around the (NCFC) - Biggles, Apr 6, 09:52:52
  - His ratio is excellent. Your premise is flawed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Boyer, Apr 6, 12:32:30
  - so what percentage of missed chances is acceptable to you? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 6, 10:27:38
  - 22 goals from 81 shots is pretty good (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 10:05:53
  - I think that's overly harsh in the context of his whole time at Norwich (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:02:37
    - The criticism of Pukki is ridiculously harsh (NCFC) - BungysPie, Apr 6, 10:28:39
      - He's still going at roughly 2 goals in 3 games at Champs level isn't he? Ridiculously good (n/m) (NCFC) - NxNW, Apr 6, 10:35:56
        
        Yep, there isn’t another striker in the league with his movement (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 6, 10:46:38
- Tbf, we didn't sit on 1-0 at Preston (NCFC) - jamesward, Apr 6, 09:45:39
  - I hope we play the way we have played all season (NCFC) - norwaay, Apr 6, 10:35:36
