Shocking miss aside he is our leading scorer
Surely we wouldn’t be that stupid to sell him to a promotion rival? |  | | |  |

His (non) reaction to Scienza’s goal was interesting, I thought. |  |

I thought that too.
It was very weird. |  |

Compare the tame effort of AA and then the goal Leo scored. Chalk and Cheese in terms of finishing. |  | | |

We only have mid-table rivals, not promotion ones.
This season has been as disappointing as last to be honest. | | | |

If he doesn't want to be here then get rid. | | | |

I wonder if speculation during the window does affect players by them not knowing where they might be.
That said, he’s been badly off form in front of goal for weeks now.
I think he’ll be moving on in the summer if he doesn’t this week. |  |

Identical chances only one clinically dispatched |
Im surprised at the stick that Armstrong is getting here, he had two chances, the first one was not the greatest finish, but it was low and hard and the keeper did well, not every chance in this position goes in.
The second saw him come through a crowd of players and hit it well.
Leo finished clinically, but he has missed similar chances to Armstrong's first chance in other games.
If things had been reversed and Scienza missed the early chance and Armstrong scored the opening goal, I don't think anyone would be nit picking about Scienza |  |

I agree with this. I thought both chances weren't goals because of great goalkeeping.
The first one was exactly the sort of low nearpost shot that would have beaten Bazunu and McCarthy both. | |

That first one should have been finished.
The second one he did what he needed to do but their keeper was in the right place and reacted well.
I think if Leo's chance had fallen to AA he would have fluffed that. | |

Armstrong has scored 11 Championship goals and Leo 5,, both fluff chances | |

I’m not sure how you can compare the two? Different positions.
Armstrong has also missed a lot of penalties. |  |

Leo Scienza has 5 goals and 4 assists, his conversion rate is 9% per shot
.
Adam Armstrong has a conversion rate of 13%
Different positions yes and Armstrong gets more chances in a game, but he is a better finisher than Scienza | |

Going by the rumours and body language. Armstrong doesn't want to be here , whilst Scienza does. | | | |

That's not a meaningful comparison:
- Scoring goals is supposed to be AA's main job. Leo's is creating chances.
- Leo's shots are mostly from outside the box or tight angles. AA's shots are mostly directly in front of the goal so he should score more as a %.
The key thing in this comparison is that Leo looks better 1 on 1 with the keeper. I've seen AA have a number of 1 on 1 chances this season. When he's confident and there's no great pressure he's ok, but when the pressure's on he's likely to panic and snatch it (e.g. v Blackburn). Leo just looks calmer in that situation.
Having said that I wouldn't criticise AA too much for the chances yesterday. He should have scored the first one but his first touch was good and his shot was ok-ish. A top striker would definitely have scored, but at our level (a mid table championship side) AA is what you get. Leo is a class above us and will probably move on soon. | | | |

Our finishing has been piss poor of late - with pretty much everyone being guilty.
Arma is expected to score more than Leo, as he is a striker and will get more chances, but Leo isn't that prolific.
Even if we look at the Sheffield United game, Leo should have done much better with a couple of shots that weren't even on target and that free header in the 2nd half was a guilt edged chance that he some how put straight at the keeper. Luckily his goal got a crucial deflection !!
Fellows needs a goal big time. He cuts inside and hits it with his left foot so often, you'd think one would go in, but no, everything is usually high and wide and rarely tests the keeper. He had 4 or 5 good chances v Sheff Utd.
Azaz was on that 6 goals and some assists in 7 appearances, or whatever it was, but his form has dried up, yet still manages to get 80 minutes every game before he is eventually subbed.
Hopefully things improve at Stoke on Saturday. |  |

Not disagreeing with you Nick
No player has a perfect conversion rate, but AA hasn’t scored in our last 8 games I think? And going by recent form I don’t think he’d have scored the chance Leo took. He is in one of those runs where he just needs one to go in off his shin. | |
