    After seeing some post that we won't get promoted or even top 6 as we haven't signed a proven 20+ goalscorer, thought I'd take a look at the last few League 1 seasons to see how many players have scored 20 or more, and where that club finished.  

    19/20 (season wasn't completed)
    Toney - Peterborough finished 7th

    18/19
    Collins - Luton finished 1st
    Eaves - Gillingham finished 13th
    Marquis - Doncaster finished 6th
    Taylor - We finished 3rd
    Henderson - Rochdale finished 16th

    17/18
    Marriott - Peterborough finished 9th
    Pitman - Portsmouth finished 8th

    16/17
    Sharp - Sheff Utd finished 1st
    Vaughan - Bury finished 19th

    15/16
    Ajose - Swindon finished 16th
    Grigg - Wigan finished 1st
    Sharp - Sheff Utd finished 11th
    Winnall - Barnsley finished 6th
    Armstrong - Coventry finished 8th
    Madden - Scunthorpe finished 7th

    What's really intresting, in terms of the conversations on here, is none of them have scored 20 goals a season in back to back seasons apart from Billy Sharp.  And let's be honest he was only playing in league 1 because if was for Sheffield United. 

    So as I said yesterday, who is a proven 20 goal a season league one striker? 
    Mate, there’s a big list of them above 😂
    That's exactly my point though.  No one does it enough to be "proven".

    Hiwula or Thiam is my guess.
    I reckon Hiwula also. Thiam is a winger I think 🤔 would still take him.

    I’d rather it be because of that than him being a stripy c**t...

    We were after him but he wanted too much money I read on here. Might change his mind now and likely only be a 1 year contract.

    Nothing ITK about salaries here, only estimates, but we look something like this I believe: 



    If anyone has anyone I have missed/incorrectly added, let me know and I'll update.

    Just checked and he signed for a Sunday League team in Barnet a few days ago.

    Still under 30: no dedication; no career.

    One for us to pick up again in January, am sure we will.

    Reading between the lines from both Boreham Wood statements we offered less than their value and walked away instead of negotiating the price, maybe they felt we were taking the piss a bit or vice versa

    I suppose I'm biased but I thought their statement sounded like they were a bunch of twats

    Won't be the only team saying or thinking that
  • If he does well next few months there may well be a few clubs in for him.  If he doesn't then we won't look back so BW may be able to drive up the price with a bidding war.  Good luck to them.

    Think I agree. Not sure about this: "we hope all parties are happy, as everyone needs to accept that our little club also has it’s own dreams and ambitions and just like Sorba, we also dream about playing in the EFL one day."

    I'd be annoyed reading that if I was the player

    Am I right in thinking Schwartz only signed for the Danish top flight side midtjylland in January and has scored very few goals for them?

    He got a fair few for his previous club Silkeborg, but they are in the league below
    Silkeborg got relegated from the Danish top flight last season. They are a bit of a yo-yo club to be honest. 

    Schwartz’s scoring record with them was very decent. He’s not had much of a look in with FCM though.

    Yep. Also this: "I’ve asked my Chief Exec Charlie Hunter to write up our heads of terms for any interested clubs, and in this climate that will include a sensible staged payment arrangement, to help the player fulfil his EFL aspirations but it will also include a wide range of add on’s."

    Just odd to put that in a statement.

    I'd guess a lot of that is for the benefit of their supporters, sort of things we might be wondering in their position

    We've got no number 1 ....... or number 9.

    Was number 9 meant to be for Rocket Ronnie Schwartz, I wonder?

    Perhaps there's a sign on the dressing room door:  "Vacancy. Please apply within".


    I wonder if there's any budget left for a free agent...
    That's exactly what I was implying.


    Yes said this previously, hopefully there's a decent striker out there who was hoping for a championship move at the last moment who would now accept a wage cap salary in league 1 until the end of the season.
