One thing I've noticed with May's finishes....they're usually taken a bit early or to catch the defender/goalie out. Not always clinically finished in the corner. Bit like his strike that hit the post v Bristol R (I think). His penalties are also funny!
Glad his tally is building.1 -
Alfie May and George Dobson were my naps for having a good season.
Alfie's work rate is great and he scores goals.
Should be fun seeing him in a 2 up front with Miles or Slobadan and in a 3 with who ever.
Good players can adapt.
When Fraser and Leaburn are sharp and fit we will see the best of Alfie May.
4 from 6 isn't too shabby in a struggling team.

Anybody know why he was booked today?0

I agree about the bookings but I don’t see how you can blame him for today’s one. The keeper spends ages giving him shit and the ref does absolutely nothing. He then scores and does the same back for less than a couple of seconds and he gets booked. Just. Be. Consistent.3

He said on BBC radio London to Louis that the keeper approached him and said “your going to put it down the middle” Alfie said “I know” and when he did, and still beat him he gave him some stick about it, said he knew he shouldn’t have done but it was heat of the moment after scoring.Callumcafc said:

Ps…. Worked his socks off today, especially in those last few minutes of added time chasing them down and closing them off9 -
If the keeper knew it was going down the middle, why did he jump out the way 😂JaShea99 said:I agree about the bookings but I don’t see how you can blame him for today’s one.

Let’s get a team who are all good at their jobs and play in a way that maximizes those strengths. Otherwise, at this level and with our budget, you end up with a mediocre team of journeymen like Sean Clare who are okay at multiple roles but also not that good at any of them.cantersaddick said:
Thats my point. Unless you are gonna have a massive squad of superstars ready to completely blow the league out the water you cannot have a player capable of one system to be effective. Even less so if that player is a striker, is expected to be your main goal threat or is your big summer signing.Covered_End_Lad said:Can almost guarantee that when May has Leaburn up with him (or a striker in the target man mould) we will suddenly see May banging them in. He is a player that plays on the shoulder and needs someone next to him that can bring him into the game with little lay offs, through balls and flick ons.
He will do better (a lot better) with Leaburn alongside but that will still keep us locked in to a specific system.May is looking a big upgrade on most strikers we’ve had in recent seasons. Like a better Connor Washington. Like him.4 -
Now he’s on 4 in 6 he’s looking like a striker who’s made a good start to his career with us.
We potentially have plenty of goals in this group of strikers - Leaburn is capable of double figures and in Kanu and Tedic we have two that if they improve on last season should contribute.

He looks like that old cliché the "instinctive finisher" - he doesn't really think about placement or technique, it just comes naturally.mendonca said:One thing I've noticed with May's finishes....they're usually taken a bit early or to catch the defender/goalie out.

That's not a criticism though, it's a very useful thing to have.3 -

He moved house this week - I told you he’d be settled soon and start scoring.Good lad Alfie - keep it up23

Nice to see him doing what our strikers haven't done for a while.0

Born in Graveyends but was in the spanners0

4 goals so far at £250,000 he’s a snip, when you consider JCH is 800 plus add ons (the deal that fell through for BR) and nombe a mil.5

Biggest issue for May is discipline.
We’ll lose him soon enough for a game when he gets another yellow.1 -
Had a Builder round yesterday, helping me fix some issues inside the house, and outside it after another one had done a crap job.
He claims to be a Cousin of Alfie, possible as they both come from Gravesend etc. but was saying yesterday that Alfie is "only" on about £2.5k per week here.0 -
Clearly i am not comparing our team to Powells 2013 heroes at all - but May certainly fills the BWP box at this early stage in terms of a poacher who is tracking for 20 plus goals in a season. Leaburn / Tedic contribution in terms of goals and overall impact on the team will be key.

Although he was actually born in Gravesend I believe he is from Dartford and lived in Temle Hill. There were no maternity facilities in Dartford in that era.Karim_myBagheri said:Born in Graveyends but was in the spanners0 -
We could do with one of our midfielders replicating Jackson's form that season too - not sure who is likely to fill that but Fraser or Campbell II seem most likely based purely on their apparent roles in the side.DamoNorthStand said:Clearly i am not comparing our team to Powells 2013 heroes at all - but May certainly fills the BWP box at this early stage in terms of a poacher who is tracking for 20 plus goals in a season.

Kanu has already improved on last season because he'd never scored a league goal until this season.Scoham said:Now he’s on 4 in 6 he’s looking like a striker who’s made a good start to his career with us.

May is gonna get 20 goals this season
wont get us in playoffs but will be a success0 -
Yeah agree, it’s why I’m feeling positive about our strikers. He still needs to keep it up but he’s shown he has the ability to.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

We have 2 forwards to choose from when May is suspended for a game.
Let's not make too much of it. Just keep him away from the injury jinx.5 -
