A 28 goal season will put him second on the all-time league one top scorers list.MintoHumbugs said:He may well end up being one of the leagues most prolific strikers who never played in the Championship or above. I dont think for one minute 12 months ago he thought this is where he would be now.0 -

Crazy we got him so cheap really, what a buy he wasguinnessaddick said:Pity Cheltenham Town, who sold him for £250k, as they thought it would be his last move and a chance for him to get some decent money when he came to us. Since then he moved twice, both with profit on his transfer fee.

I've not been keeping much of an eye on L1 (thank goodness after the last few years!) beyond the league table, didn't realise May has only got 2 in 16 this season, Huddersfield might be kicking themselves they went back in for him.1

Got a red card in the first half on Saturday. 3 game ban as an horrendous tackle.1

Hope he shook hands with them tho 😉0

Alfie May has scored 2 in 878 league minutes. Tanto has scored 1 in 186. Tanto is on track to have scored 5 goals in the minutes May has playedoohaahmortimer said:

Just watched the tackle on YouTube, and it did look like the guy made the most of if, May didn't look like he connected with the guy, rather the guy tripped over May's legs, clumsy rather than malicious....just saying.3

He’ll go and score 12 in 10 between now and Christmas. He’s that kind of striker.5

You might want to check how many games he's allowed to play between now and Christmas...Callumcafc said:He’ll go and score 12 in 10 between now and Christmas. He’s that kind of striker.5 -

This is Alfie May don't forget, he could walk on water...😂1 -
Grant will get sacked, they will get a 3-5-2 manager in and then May will score loads. He’s the best striker in that league if used properlyCallumcafc said:He’ll go and score 12 in 10 between now and Christmas. He’s that kind of striker.4 -
Might not be this year as Grant keeps playing him in midfieldCallumcafc said:He’ll go and score 12 in 10 between now and Christmas. He’s that kind of striker.0 -
Shame its not really working out for him there but on the plus side im sure his salary is still being paid/part paid by Birmingham or he receoved a payout to leave. At the end of the Alfie wanted to leave and he got his wish, there is always a risk with that but im sure its been great for him on the financial side.
Hopefully it works out for him on the football side too.1 -
Don’t think the tackle was that bad.2

Didn't think it merited a red either.The Red Robin said:Don’t think the tackle was that bad.
Player rolling around probably didn't help.1 -

Maybe a red, but not as atrocious as was claimed earlier in this thread. He should not have dived in two footed and to do so early in the game is naive. Does not seem to be himself from the highlights and games I have seen recently. Still got time for him and saving us from League 2.3

Should not have been allowed to leave in the first place.

I know the vast majority would've wanted him to stay, including me.ElfsborgAddick said:BalladMan said:Maybe a red, but not as atrocious as was claimed earlier in this thread.

But Godden turned out to be a decent replacement and generally more of a team player.15 -
We got absolutely miles better without him? Surely that debate is done now?ElfsborgAddick said:BalladMan said:Maybe a red, but not as atrocious as was claimed earlier in this thread.

Should not have been allowed to leave in the first place.Jones didn’t want May, that was obvious and that decision has proved to absolutely be the correct one for the team17 -
I know, we might have been promoted and then get into a Championship play-offs position by now if he'd have stayed.ElfsborgAddick said:BalladMan said:Maybe a red, but not as atrocious as was claimed earlier in this thread.

I still think we flogged him to bring in more players, who is to say if he stayed it could have worked out. Plus save 3 million? quid on bringing in Kelman.

Also it was pretty clear that May wanted to leave for Birmingham/Huddersfield at the time, otherwise he would have stayed and fought for a place under Jones if possible3

Going over old ground here but i tend to agree, Jones didnt really fancy him that much as his type of player, Alfie wanted to go further up north to Huddersfield to be near wifes family and earn more money after a stellar season instead of staying where his missus was unhappy to try to impress a manager who didnt rate him that much and get paid less. Then Birmingham cane in and blew everyone out of the water financially, I assume the pragmatic side came out as football is a short career and Alfie started late in pro football so they settled on Birmingham. Birmingham get promoted and alfie is surplas to requirements at championship level so he goes to Huddersfield, also im sure from personal knowledge of how contracts work in football he woupd of received a payout from Birmingham to leave his contract or his wage at hiddersfield is being partly subbed by Birmingham.sam3110 said:Also it was pretty clear that May wanted to leave for Birmingham/Huddersfield at the time, otherwise he would have stayed and fought for a place under Jones if possible2 -
I wish all the best for Alfie but no one can deny we became much more of a rounded team when we sold him.
Obviously a good player and can score goals even in poor teams but he didnt have the team ethic that NJ wanted and despite all the moaning when he went, it is fair to say it has paid off.2 -
so dropping a striker who scored goals for fun in league one is a good thing, could be an idea0
