But we're not playing the same way as they did last season so it's not impossible that we will see more goals coming from midfield. Garner's system generally seems to favour more players scoring fewer goals each rather than one "main" goal scorer backed up by a few others chipping in.
Personally I actually agree with the concern that as it stands we won't score enough for promotion (and certainly not automatic) but I do think we'll see more goals from midfield and wingers than we did last season. And I hope/believe that Garner's fully aware of the issue but finding the solution on a budget won't be quick or simple.
So you are expecting shot shy midfielders (Gilbey, DJ & Kirk) as well as shit shot ones (Morgan) to suddenly turn into Kinsella, Stuart & Holmes.
Dream on.
No. If you read properly instead of going for a cheap shot you'd notice I specifically said I don't think we'll score enough. I am expecting MORE goals than last season but unless we find a proper goal scorer I don't think we'll be going anywhere.

Williams was more shot shy than all of them and he scored 5 league goals under Garner last season. I’m not expecting big improvements but I think we’ll see some given we’ve changed manager, coaches, players, formation and tactics.
Not taking shots is one element, another is being in a team that creates good quality chances. Jackson’s team weren’t great at the latter, they were an average L1 side heavily focussed on getting goals from the front two over anyone else.

Not sure if its been mentioned but young defender from millwall Alex Mitchell is set to go out on loan. was at Orient last season and played pretty well apparently.

Unfortunately Palace are light years ahead of us. We can moan all we like about that but it's a fact. If it helps us get promoted then bring as many of their players that we can to help us achieve that.
Light years sort of…until you contemplate what they laughingly call a stadium and how much they would have to spend to make it even as good as Dartford’s.
A quote about Rak-Sakhi from a mate of mine who is the u18s manager at Palace.
”Jes needs a challenge and I think he will be very good”
I think he found u23 football to easy so needs competitive action now. One of those rare players that hasn’t yet met a ceiling he can’t smash through. Hope he comes and isn’t the next Sulley Kaikai
I am struggling to think of any Palarse players that have brightened my life when arriving at Charlton . Not one John Humphrey or Flanagan or John Sewell going to them. Players from there seem inadequate or injured. There is always a first time .

We sold Flanagan to Palace and bought him back for 50 grand from QPR

Edit: Christ he did play for them first I could have sworn he didn't.
