Time for Bamford to step up and make a similar impact to Roofe last August.
I'm hoping it will be different this season with injuries but that's Ayling, Roberts and Roofe who won't be fit for the opening game already.
Roofe out for 4 weeks

I said after the end of last season that we need a "Pukki" or a "Tammy Abraham" in the team. A striker who is a constant threat who has a high conversion rate.
Bamford has a very poor conversion rate, but has undoubted striking talent. He's poor on the ball - a lot of attacks break down when he's involved in the build-up.
Roofe is superb with his positioning and movement, but has had injuries and that seems to have taken away the ruthlessness he had at the start of last season.
Roberts struggles to score. He's better just behind the strikers imho.

Our strikers scored 27 last season between them including Roberts 3 in 3 when he played up front, not helping though that two are injured. To me it's a 10 we need who can score as well as make goals.

It will be interesting to see if they think Edmondson can make the step up this season.

Hernandez? Costa?

You are joking.
We are signing him when we sell Morelos. I suppose Defoe can lead the line while we wait for Roofe to recover.

Have you forgotten Clarke ? Not Allan !

Clarke (a talent no doubt)
He hasn't played enough GAMES yet alone scored enough goals to be included in the conversation

Could it be Roofe ain't injured but it's a hustle to keep him on ice?
