I don’t have the minutes per goal stats but I can assure anyone it’ll be very good. If Chuks is fit, Chuks scores, at this level. It’s only because of his terrible record with injury that we need another forward.
Total: 19 goals in 1966 minutes. A goal every 103 minutes.
What about his time at Birmingham ?
“Aneke in league one for us”
That is ignoring a part of his career that actually makes wose your already poor figures.
It’s ignoring a part of his career which is not in league one because we are not in league one.
Also, poor figures? A goal every 103 minutes is superb, it was the best strike rate in league one 20/21. This isn’t opinion, just basic maths.
Just wading into this debate.
Aneke is a beast & his figures for the season before he left showed his goals per minutes was in the top 3.
HOWEVER
That season he couldnt play even 90 mins, let alone sat/tues/sat. It's no good having a great striker if he can only play 50% of the time. Stockton I believe played 45 league games last season.
If you are going to have Aneke at your club you are going to need at least 4 strikers.....and that doesn't include Davison.

You want us to sign three strikerI'm s?
We definitely need to offload Davison and sign 2. Just my opinion
I think Garner might get a tune out of DJ . Bloody frustrating player though .
He’s good at beating a man but needs to learn “get a yard of space and deliver”
not “get a yard of space, turn and do him again, repeat until you lose possession”
his job is to deliver crosses so get that into his head and you’ve got a player. His first touch is usually very very good so working on s few other bits will increase his productivity hugely
DJ was a case where we signed him because he was doing well, didn't fit into any sort of tactical system, as our managers who managed him didn't have one.
I think it was just a panic deadline day signing. We sold Williams that day and then bidded for pretty much every league 1 player that can play out wide. I don’t think we really wanted to sign him it was just the best that we could get on the day. Fortunately our transfers seem to have more long term thought to them now as before it was always short term

I'm expecting one and Davison to stay, personally. Maybe one and a half if we're after a winger that can also do a job up front.
Agree that we definitely need two if Davison goes.

Maybe 3 if we offload Davison! One being a winger/forward and offer something like Leko was meant to.

Davison is not a promotion winning forward imho. Aneke comes off the bench, not Davison, and no way will he start. So what’s his role?

Be fourth choice. Not every forward has to be promotion winning standard. Josh Parker, Paul Hayes & Dany N'Guessan proved that. Making 15-20 appearances off the bench and score 5 ish goals will be a good contribution from a fourth choice striker. I don't know any striker signing up for that role that the fans will be excited about signing so may as well keep Davison on hand for it.

Impossible to read into, and will be interesting to see if there is anything different against Dartford.
But Davison played up front in a similar Stockley role last Saturday
Aneke on the other hand played as the attacking midfielder / support striker in the 4-2-3-1 type role, rather than as a Striker himself.
If thats the case its Davison vs Stockley for the starting spot against Accrington - So we definitely need a third Striker to compete with those two at the very least... If 4-2-3-1 became the first choice approach, then Aneke is almost there to compete with Fraser.
Unless of course thats going to be a change with DJ going back to the role he played for Swindon - As he pretty much played alongside Davison on Saturday.
Am sure Famewo will turn into a beast at another club.
He 'should' be good, he's big, pace etc but terrible judgement and feels the need to Cruyff turn on the back line multiple times a month. Maybe having better players around him might make him look less like a liability.
Am sure Famewo will turn into a beast at another club.
Famewo was very good in his first season for us.
He was less good in his second season, possibly in part due to the general malaise in the squad but his poor form was a contributory factor to that malaise.
I think we now have better centre backs but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him settle elsewhere and do well.

Hayes would certainly have been good enough for top six, if we hadn't signed Yann. He was good enough as a starter for Scunthorpe.
Didn’t get the Championship move he was apparently after then.
I rated him in his first season here but there came a point last where I was hoping we wouldn’t sign him permanently. Will do a job for someone in this division but not the type you want for a team trying to play out from the back. It was his aimless holding down the line to no one that put me off more than anything.
I wouldn’t write him off becoming more consistent and getting to the Championship but it’ll need to be the right type of team. I’m glad we’ve moved away from players who’ve been part of two poor seasons.
I like DJ. None of our managers got a tune out of him but I think Garner can. Plus he was the Swindon advance party paving the way for the rest to follow.
He's shit
Most comparisons depend on two opinions, so both would be included.

@Callumcafc Fair enough, I guess we need a fourth choicer. But I’m still hoping for a new striker to fit the ‘new’ style of play.

Perhaps BG knows enough and we are trying to offload... I have no idea.
But I get the feeling the priority is to find a Washington replacement before we look into moving on from Davison.
