Dayle southwell, scored very few goals the season before he came to us, and look how it turned out in the end.
You are correct Obt . One of the few goals Dayle scored was against bufc when on loan to Harrogate , at Grimsby like with most teams the young players get little opportunity to play competitive matches hence his low score rate .
I've been round the block a few more times than youngsters like you and OXO . I base my comments on past records (reality) not on unfounded hope . Your quote in sarcasm "unprovern forwards " is in fact perfectly correct . Tuton , Thewis and Knowles over the past 4 (four ) seasons have scored a combined total of less than 40 goals , average of 3 goals per player per season . Hopefully I will be proven wrong but I would be surprised if more than one of these players score over 15 goals for the season .
Has they say it's a funny old game ! Tshimanga who we released a year ago (which I thought was the correct decison ) went on to score as many goals for the season as the 3 above have scored between then in 4 seasons .
I do agree with you that we may not have a golden boot player in our team, but from what l have seen so far is that we have several goal scores among the squad.
Yes it's nice to have one 20plus a season striker, but if he is your main goalscorer and gets injured,many teams then struggle to find the net.
On the other hand if the goals are coming from several different players it gives us more options and attacking threat, l always think you should keep the opposition guessing and not put your eggs in one basket.
We will score plenty of goals this season and hopefully from midfield with George Green now on board.
I hope you have good season GHM, l always love to see you posting on here, your posts are very interesting and informative, l also hope you are recognised by the club for long standing support.
