    That lad must score more 1 yard goals than anyone else.

    I know they say a good striker is a lucky striker etc but just think the lads massively over rated.

    Wouldn't swap any of our lads for him. And that's genuine not to wind up any Chelsea under 17 fans.

    From his first 10 goals I counted 6 tap ins, 2 slightly tricky goals and 2 "good" goals.

    I know a goals a goal, but sometimes players just get on a lucky run. Fair play to the lad. Right place right time, but he's certainly no Ashley Fletcher to compare to our premierleague loanee from last year

    Wonder when the penny will drop with their fans that Lee Johnson is ******* *****, apropos of nothing?

    Surely some of the more perceptive ones have started to realise?

    SSW is excellent for close range goals and isn't likely to win many goal of the month awards just like Van Nistelrooy who only scored one goal outside the box for Man United. One yard tap in or thirty yard screamer it doesn't matter they all count just as one.

    Agree pal - wasn't knocking his goal scoring record. It's just I hadn't realised nearly all his goals were tap ins.

    Was watching champ highlights and he tried a volley from 20 yards and blazed it over. Commentator said "a few of weeks ago they were flying in for Abraham". Which made me wonder... And I'm not sure he's scored from more than 7-10 yards.

    They all count. Personally don't see the lad threatening the premiership just yet. probably be wrong mind!

    Scored an offside goal against us to break his drought and as the season has gone on it looks like opponents have figured him out more. Still scoring but not with the same frequency as earlier in the season.

    Personally I think it's unfair to criticise a striker for the type of goal he scores. I'd rather have a striker score 20 tap ins a season than 10 worldy's (we've got the midfield players for that ).

    Sam Winnall for example comes in for some criticism about his all round game, but he's often on the end of a cross or at the back post waiting to knock the ball in. Given half through chance I'd say Bradshaw is the same.

    I suppose the old argument that 'they all count' is most prominent with a player like Abraham.

    Not criticised him at all pal. Even state a goals a goal! Some great strikers were poachers.

    I was just surprised given the rave reviews it sounded like he was terrorising teams and smashing goals from all angles.

    Be interesting to see if he continues. Fair play if he can.

    Reminds me of Andy Payton. Just taller less white and with shitter hair. I'd put him in the Payton class. An excellent championship player with a knack of being in the right place. Andy never developed beyond that whether Tammy will I don't know. He's got youth on his side.

    All the Lee Johnson is the messiah ********. He's spent a fortune to be below a #teamlikeBarnsley .

    Before his offside goal against us that was allowed to stand he'd not scored in four games. Us and Huddersfield are his only two goals in his last ten matches. He scored 11 in 18 before playing us. No doubt about it he's been found out and opposition managers have found a formula to stop him.
