Two headers tonight...so as I was saying, about those Tap-ins...

yah, i haaaaate it when a striker, you know, like, scores goals. 

Guesses on how many goals he'll score in total this season?

I'll go with 22. 

69.

 

100

36...

He's still somewhat of an unknown quantity in the Championship so I think the season will get harder for him as opposition work out how to nullify him, but credit where it's due;

8 after he gets a six-month ban for obvious performance-enhancing drugs.

Happy to see Tammy doing do well on his loan, but i just go back a few seasons when Bamford set the Championship on fire and he was not rewarded for his efforts.

Our young players as good as they are they won't make it in the team, who knows maybe we sell Tammy and buy him back for 100 mill. 

He's got the physique, but does he have the actual ability? How is his first touch? Can he link up play well? How is he at shooting from outside the box? How's his dribbling?

We've seen with Loftus-Cheek, just because he's got the size and strength doesn't mean he's going to be any good technically.

Bamford scored 19 goals in 44 games that season, Tammy has 8 goals in 9 games. Tammy has the potential to be a lot better than Bamford. 

After last nights performance, these are the words of Sheff Wed supporters who have no affiliation with Tammy,

Quote

One of best performances I've seen from a teenager

Quote

Looks a real quality player

Quote

Some future in the game that kid. 

Quote

 said at the start he will get a couple. Top goal scorer for a reason

Quote

Very good - not their player though, he's on loan from Chelsea

Quote

Terrifying player. 

Quote

Premiership star of the future believe you me.

Quote

will be an England regular

Quote

What a player that lad could be. Bosses it tonight. 

Quote

He tore Lees, Hutchinson and Sasso a new one. Quality performance.

Quote

Unbelievable. I bet Tom Lees is happy the games finished, won absolutely everything in the air. 

Quote

8 goals in 9 games having played only 2 senior games before. Incredible, this lad may well walk into the Chelsea side next year.

Quote

Unreal performance. Was talkinbout him constantly to mates as  seen him play b4. Fantastic Chelsea talent

Quote

18 Y/o and insane

Quote

He was playing us on his own 2nd half. Incredible performance, against one of the best centre halfs in the league. What a player that lad will be. 

Quote

Best player on the pitch by a mile. Everything I was hoping Joao would be this year. Glad he didn't take the pen for his hat trick.

Quote

Proper handful

Quote

a tremendous performance and very clever

Quote

That was the best centre forward display I have seen at Hillsborough for a long time. I'm not sure even he committed a foul during the match at all. Definitely one to watch for the future.

Quote

The best opposition striker performance I've seen at Hillsborough

Quote

I was petrified everytime the ball went within 20 yards of him. Looks an absolute beast.

Quote

What a player. Bit of Drogba about him.He will be an absolute star. 

Quote

Best player on the pitch. 

Quote

18yrs old & bullied our CB's all night. he looked such a nightmare to play against. phenomenal talent.

Quote

Him and Rashford are the future of English football. Abraham's all round game was quality tonight 

Quote

he kid is a talent. Chelsea have unearthed a gem,

Quote

Now it's over and a happy ending I feel lucky to have seen him

Quote

I thought he had the perfect CF performance yesterday in all honesty. hes lightening quick, strong as an ox and showed predatory instinct with his second goal following the shot up.

he used his height and strength so we'll all 90 mins. The amount of fouls he kept winning for them in the last 10 mins just by pure tenacity was remarkable.

the guys got a big fiture

Quote

He was absolutely immense yesterday. I don't often praise an opposition player unless they play well but me and the group were talking about him a lot yesterday.

IF he's still at Chelsea, and beef's up a bit, he'll be the next Drogba. He has got everything in his locker to match that.

Quote

Sounds like a northern soul singer, what a player

Quote

Looks a great prospect, I knew I should have kicked him hard on the shins when he was getting off the team bus.Only 18 too, played with so much maturity.

Quote

He's  a real talent, I wish we had him.

Quote

Imagine how good this lad could be when he hits his peak (26 - 30) years of age. If he's that good at 19

Quote

Scary talent. We were bricking it 2nd half every time they played it towards him. We were either gonna foul him, & give away a dangerous free kick, or he was gonna run at our goal to try & get his hat-trick. Nerve wracking stuff.

Quote

Slumped to his knees in centre circle when our winner went in.

Quote

Abrahams is a chelsea star in the making

 

Conte loves playing with two strikers, if we play a formation with 2 strikers next season he might actually get chances.

Let's compare him to our best ever striker at the club.

Drogba had an average first touch, wasn't a 'link up' player , and his dribbling was on par with Costa, bloody awful.

I'll give you that he could bang them in from distance, but i doubt he was doing much of that at 18yo.

Lets not forget he is just a young lad playing in a competitive league against players above his age bracket, but he still stands out above everyone else.

Fingers crossed the people in charge of Chelsea are actually planning on bringing him back permanently.

Only reason this may possibly happen is because Conte wanted to keep him in the squad in the first place.

Cycnic in me still thinks says even that wouldn't matter and he will be moved on without getting anywhere near the team.

Agreed but still you never know how long his red hot form will last. Hope he beats Bamford's goal scoring tally.

eh? loftus cheek is very good technically. sure you're not thinking of frank nouble or someone?

He is winning me over with every goal. If he keeps up this kind of rate of scoring then he should be in the first team next season. 

 

I'm dying for us to have a player come in and have the same impact as Rashford has for United.

.......by Christmas.

40 goals I reckon. Championship is piss and any top talented striker would score at this rate.

Another impressive contribution from this young man, this time with a mature interview...just comes across as a great lad...hope he stays that way and it doesn't go to his head https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/16/tammy-abraham-chelsea-loan-bristol-city

Sorry what? Loftus Cheek is absolutely fantastic technically??

Meh, I'm not a massive fan of him. I think we've got far better young players.

That's by the by- I don't think baker is even a certainty to be a premier league player yet, but I can't deny he's good technically. 

Ruben has it all to prove that he's a good footballer, but that isn't down to a lack of technique. 

What's even more puzzling is the implication that he has already been found out and that being on the basis of an absence of technique.  He's technically better than lampard for example! 

 

How good a player is technically doesn't equal how good they are football. 

P. S. re tammy, 

Already its clear he's no Marco mitrovic. He did need this loan that  tell us what would happen when he plays against men. So far, so good. I still think solanke is the bigger prospect (and that he has been judged harshly on his loan last season, he moved just after turning 18 don't forget), but nothing more can be asked of him at the moment. 

Seems a great lad too and that desire to improve himself should help him improve a lot, just like ola.
