I really don’t warm to him so there’s possibly some negative bias in what I see.stoneroses19 said:Good to see Campbell is targeting 9+ goals this season (from Cawley's free email newsletter).In my opinion, he's doing everything right at the moment, up to the point of shooting. It's going to be very exciting for us when it does click for him in front of goal this season.But I see we channel so much ball to him, he’s our key attacking outlet, yet the ratio of it turning to chances and outcomes is far too low for the amount of final third ball and positions he gets.Frustrates me hugely.3 -
He might actually benefit from coming on fresh against tiring defenders rather than being the one spending 70 minutes tiring them out5

Some of his shots need more power behind them.
Need to get Martin back for some coaching 💥3 -
Or Simon Church4

No one has mentioned that the excerpt was really talking about his contract: Asked if he had thought about his future longer term, Campbell said: “No. I just want to play football for Charlton.”
I know it's partly media training etc but it's still nice. Most players say "I just want to keep perfoming well/helping the team, impressing the manager" etc., it's a subtle difference but maybe a signifcant one, I hope so anyway

Would you have fancied him to tuck that goal away on Saturday?hermann said:He might actually benefit from coming on fresh against tiring defenders rather than being the one spending 70 minutes tiring them out
I wouldn't have.
The fact he got one assist last year and still featured in nearly all of the games tells me Jones isn't concerned one bit about his attacking tallies.
It's difficult to remember he's still only 22. His best years are yet to come. Whether that's in the form of goals and assists i'm not sure. But I'm certain he'll have plenty more savvy in a season or two, which is a frightening prospect for the opposition.0 -
He’s created our most chances this season, and compared to other championship wingers he’s not doing too badly. Especially as a lot of these wingers will get more of the ball than TC does playing for us, and more players in attacking positions to create chances forAFKABartram said:

And this is just from his first 6 games at this level, he will get better as the season goes on.Even when he doesn’t create or score, he’s so integral to getting us up the pitch with the way he carries the ball. Even if his run only wins us a free kick or a throw in, we’ve then got possession higher up the pitch. I can see why he is picked to start every game and I don’t see that changing16 -
It is aggravating when your forwards miss chances. We have had dozens of misfiring strikers over recent decades. The difference with Campbell is that nearly all the chances he misses he has manufactured himself. No one ever lays one on a plate for him. In fact he is rarely passed to at all, apart from Bell or Edwards up the line, which still leaves him a long way from goal.5
-
The only chance he should have scored from this season was the header against Leicester. When I look back on that game, it was our best performance of the season but we lost because we snatched at excellent chances.1
-
I'd love him to be a little more direct, sometimes he just does a trick or two too much. It's the same with most you haters though so hopefully that comes in time. Very good player with a high ceiling.0

He’s still not going to score a championship goal, which when your playing as a striker is going to massively hinder the team’s goal return.He’s great at dribbling but has terrible composure and finishing, so it looks good with little end product.I can’t wait to be proved wrong and have it all rubbed into me on Twitter and here but so far I’ve been right and Tanto even scores within 10 minutes.Absolutely laughable TC has a target of 9 goals in the Championship. He couldn’t even get that in league one.0

if he was a new signing this season, he would be getting far more comments he’s not up to it, but academy products get extra protection.1 -
He makes opposition defenders absolutely sh*t themselves. The fact that they're immediately on the backfoot as soon as he drives with the ball is winning us 20+ yards of territory every time he gets it and that means we're not constantly defending balls into our box with less than half the ball across 90 minutes.CAFC_boi said:

There has to be something in almost every opposition fanbase coming away from our games saying he's our most dangerous player, doesn't there?
There's a place up for grabs in the front line for sure but it's not Tyreece's place that's in danger.15 -

Because unless he dramatically improves his finishing, that’s what’s going to happen, in my opinion.0 -
How have you been right? Whether TC scores or not isn’t the indicator of whether playing him was correct, whether the team does well is what matters. TC is starting, playing well and we are doing well. Jones is right to pick him every week, and he was right to use Tanto off the bench as one of the 3 subs that helped us win the gameCAFC_boi said:He’s still not going to score a championship goal, which when your playing as a striker is going to massively hinder the team’s goal return.He’s great at dribbling but has terrible composure and finishing, so it looks good with little end product.I can’t wait to be proved wrong and have it all rubbed into me on Twitter and here but so far I’ve been right and Tanto even scores within 10 minutes.Absolutely laughable TC has a target of 9 goals in the Championship.

I don’t care if he doesn’t score all season as long as he plays well and we keep getting good results. Why does he need to score goals? He’s created our most chances this season, and already has one assistCAFC_boi said:

I think the goals will start to come for him at some point, but judging how well he’s doing purely by how many goals he’s scored is just stupid5 -
I’ve said he won’t score a championship goal, this season, which is factually correct right now.NabySarr said:

Always worth remembering that TC is always the player opposition fans pick out as looking dangerous5

And TC has definitely contributed to that defensive record. Without him we’d struggle to get out of our own half at times, he’s our main out ball and runs his socks off every gameCAFC_boi said:

Yes, he could be better in front of goal, but other than 1 header (not his strong point at all), it’s not like he’s missed any big chances that our other players would score.He probably wouldn’t have been in the position Tanto was in to score, but Tanto wouldn’t have done a lot of the good work TC has done this season. That’s why you have different options and Jones knows when and where to use them pretty well12 -

It’s a results based game and to get results you need end product from your forward players, he doesn’t have the quality (yet) to produce. Doesn’t matter how many times you run at people, without end product you’ll eventually find yourself out of the side for someone who can.2

End product isn’t just goals though, he’s created our most chances and has an assist from a good cross.drawnablank said:It’s a results based game and to get results you need end product from your forward players, he doesn’t have the quality (yet) to produce. Doesn’t matter how many times you run at people, without end product you’ll eventually find yourself out of the side for someone who can.Surely Kelman is first in line to be left out if we want to change a forward player. He’s only had 2 shots this season and contributes way less than TC does to the team3 -

Very bold statement to say he won't score a Championship goal when he could feature in 30/40+ games this season.He’s still not going to score a championship goal, which when your playing as a striker is going to massively hinder the team’s goal return.He’s great at dribbling but has terrible composure and finishing, so it looks good with little end product.I can’t wait to be proved wrong and have it all rubbed into me on Twitter and here but so far I’ve been right and Tanto even scores within 10 minutes.Absolutely laughable TC has a target of 9 goals in the Championship.

I'm somewhere in the middle on him, I don't agree with some that he's our best player. He won't keep his place if the end product doesn't start coming through, but I don't agree with writing him off, he's still only 22 and last season was his first season of regular starts. As a team we're still adapting to this level, and our attacking play should improve as the season goes on.
He's not a poacher and won't score many tap ins or grab the type of goal Tanto did over his career, but pretty much every goal he's scored for the first team was a composed finish, with either foot, often involving him creating the space for himself or by running at the opposition.
I'd be surprised if he goes all season without scoring at least a few similar goals. The step up a division of course makes it harder, but it'll also create space as teams won't sit back deep in numbers like many clubs did in L1. At some point he'll take advantage of that.
I think his biggest weakness is in his head, it's his confidence and belief. He made progress last season and it might take time, but he's still got room to grow further.

Aren't assists, winning corners, and free kicks in dangerous positions also end product?drawnablank said:It’s a results based game and to get results you need end product from your forward players, he doesn’t have the quality (yet) to produce.

More of a concern is that TC would not have put the ball over like Bree …. that’s the problem this season is his lack of creating chances..CAFC_boi said:

If set pieces are included in these numbers then that only makes him look better as he never takes them.

Lot of TC chat on other threads but thought I’d put this in here that TC is on average carrying the ball 120m per 90 minutes of football this season. That’s what his most important contribution is to the team performance and something he does brilliantly
Apter has similar numbers, but I think if Bree is starting over Apter, then it is even more important that TC starts so that we have someone who is able to get us up the pitch like TC does
Olaofe carried the ball very well yesterday, but doing so from the bench against tired legs is a lot easier to do. Personally I doubt Olaofe would be able to do that starting a game playing 70 mins like TC is able to do3 -
And yet the issue is that in terms of stats he doesn't create many good quality chances or have efforts on goal that test the opposition keeper sufficiently.NabySarr said:Lot of TC chat on other threads but thought I’d put this in here that TC is on average carrying the ball 120m per 90 minutes of football this season.

He is doing well, but we haven't tried anyone else on the left wing to properly compare his contributions. Apter and Bree have both done better than him in terms of output when they've both started.
I'm sure Olaofe is also able to carry a ball, run and pressure. We saw that yesterday.0
