I would love to see Freddie Sears continue his rich goal-scoring form that he had in the half a season he was involved with Ipswich. Over the 16 games (7 as sub) that he played for Ipswich, he was averaging 0.56 goals per match. Now using that ratio as a starting point, if he was to play over the whole of the new season (counting league only), you would expect him to end the season with about 25 goals. Obviously this is a very optimistic prediction, and should be adapted to account for a potential 5/6 game goal drought, which would then take the number down to 22. Now this is a target that I think is very realistic.

Playing him alongside any combination of Murphy, McGoldrick or Pitman, there will be so much supply, I think this is a realistic target for him to achieve. The competition for places in the forward positions is only a good thing too. I can see Mick using 3 of the 4 strikers in most matches, with Sears likely to sit deeper of the 3. However his pace will be utilised on counter attacks where hopefully he will score most of his goals.

Freddie, make it so.
