Yeah they've got even more depth than us and I'd still expect to be behind them come the end of the season, but no reason why we shouldnt both expect to be up there, unless of course they finish 6th

August 8th
When you are born with a soapbox attached you better be correct with certain statements. (Sorry Mum !)
I didn't/don't want to be correct and looking back I wasn't alone in thinking Bonne would score goals for fun. Of course he will miss some one on one's that's why he's on loan in the 3rd tier.1 -
Anyone who scores 11 goals in the Championship, and in a team which got relegated, will be very good in L1.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Quality goal from Bonne last night - really seems to have upped his game.14 -
Must admit, I am starting to eat my hat a little bit on him, he does seem to be in the right place at the right time.. And he has a lot of luck going his way at the moment.. Goal last night, I actually thought he mis controlled it, but was a good finish.
Fair play.1 -
Bonne was never shite. Just didn't fit how QPR played and wasn't championship ready. I can see him doing well this season and next he will get the opportunity in the championship again.5

Be interesting if they did go up whether they do, or whether they think he's League 1 quality rather than Championship quality.ForeverAddickted said:

That's what happens when you've worked yourself into the right place at the right time, confident and on a goalscoring streak.DubaiCAFC said:Must admit, I am starting to eat my hat a little bit on him, he does seem to be in the right place at the right time..

Fair play.
In football it's often referred to as "making your own luck".

That's what goalscorers do. It's not luck that goalpoachers seem to regularly find themselves in the right place for the easy tap in, when other strikers are 2 yards awayDubaiCAFC said:Must admit, I am starting to eat my hat a little bit on him, he does seem to be in the right place at the right time..

Problem is you need to be better than 18 other teams. For 80% of the squad we probably are, but where it matters (up front) we are sorely lacking.
@clb74 replied to a post of mine saying that (in their opinion) 2 or 3 of our strikers will chip in with 20 goals EACH.
I say balderdash.
Already a 3rd way through the season & in the League our top goal scorer (Stockley) has 5, with Davison & Washington with 3 each.
I dont think any will get 20 . Probably 15-18 max. The other 2 between 10 & 12.

Stockley actually has 6 goals from 12 starts. His tally, overall for us in the League, is 14 goals from 32 starts and 6 sub appearances. In all competitions his record is 17 goals from 33 starts and 7 sub appearances. With the right service over the course of a season at this level I think he would get 20 League goals. If Michael Smith is capable of doing it I'm sure Stockley is.golfaddick said:

MISSING... Last seen somewhere at the car park near The Valley..
Believed to be deep inside Jason Pearce pocket. Wouldn't change our front 2 for him!9 -
Yeah it wasn’t particularly impressive from him last night. Pre-match I assumed he was nailed on to score against us but he was completely absent.0
-
Nearly got on the end of the 2nd half header which went just past the far-post but other than that got almost no service. He needs crosses but he hardly got any.5
-
I backed him to score anytime but didn't mind losing that one - he did absolutely nothing (mind you neither did the rest of them)0

He’s pony - move on
Would you swap Stockley or Washington for him …. Nope14 -
Looked as if he had put on a few pounds and wasn’t fit to me.3
-
In all honesty , he had fuck all service and I thought he was moving around ok , looking to get ‘that’ pass but it never came or looked like it but he put a shift in when it was just a lost cause .8
-
Would love to know his stats from last night. I don't think he had more than 10 touches of the ball.0
-
They didn't create one chance for him, ok i am sure he could do more off the ball but he couldn't do much last night, they had zero shots on target so not on him the sub-par performance.2
-
His game is all about taking chances, he offers nothing else3
-
There is zero point ripping a decent chap. You're all just saying the same bloody things that we know.
His push on Pearce was quite funny, as bet be shat it for some time after.2 -
The new Mrs Bonne is evidently a good cookbillysboots said:Looked as if he had put on a few pounds and wasn’t fit to me.0 -
He doesn't have the workrate or movement of a Washington, but is a better finisher if you give him chances. He would have tucked away more of the chances we created7
-
Eight games without a goal now, is it? He's going to struggle in a team that's not playing well because he offers nothing else other than finishing.3
