Best yet to come? Adam Armstrong finally seeing opportunity and light at the end of the tunnel
When you are a centre forward who is struggling in front of goal, sometimes you just need a bit of luck to turn the tide in your favour once more., I take a keen interest in what happens to players when they leave our club and since leaving Newcastle United, I have watched on as Adam Armstrong has battled to establish himself as a forward player capable of being effective in the top two divisions of English football.
Having proved himself in the third tier, next up was a spell at Barnsley in the Championship. The step up to the second tier would prove more challenging for Armstrong and he would score just six goals, adding four assists, in 35 appearances. Back in the third-tier Armstrong would find his scoring touch once more, finding the back of the net nine times in 21 matches as Rovers achieved automatic promotion.
In 2020-21 Armstrong exploded. In 43 appearances he would score 29 goals, add five assists and win a host of individual awards., who had money to spend after selling Danny Ings, to take a chance on Armstrong and after getting off the mark on his debut with a thumping finish, it seemed that he was finally ready to make his mark at the top level of the English game.
Which brings me back to the opening to this article, the need for a bit of luck to inspire a change of fortunes when you are struggling in front of goal. In their third league match of the season against Plymouth Argyle, Armstrong displayed remarkable maturity after being pressed into an unfamiliar midfield role following an injury crisis.
