    20 goal a season striker

    Posted by EastEnder on 30/7/2025, 15:23:32

    Howard was top scorer in 2025 with 18. When we pissed the league.

    Admittedly not far off 20, but always shows you don't need to be obsessed about having someone scoring 20 plus.

      Keeley up front?

      Think I am right in saying that Josh Keeley (1) scored more league goals last season than Nordas (0) & Woodrow (0) combined?

        Not strictly true as Nordas scored nine league goals for Tromso last season plus two in the Europa Conference League.

        Also, Keeley didn't score a league goal - it was FA Cup.

        Is this a prediction? I'll lump on.

          True.

          But every other time we've been promoted, we've had a striker who has scored 20+ goals

          Stein in 1982, Howard in 2002, Gray in 2014, Hylts in 2018, Collins in 2019 and Morris in 2023.

          Maybe we have an internal solution for it but I'm struggling to see who that might be right now. And I will happily be wrong on this!

              I'm sure i'm in the massive minority here but I thing Woodrow is a very good player. He's never going to get 20 a season but he's what I'd call an 'intelligent' player. Can pick a pass, has good positional sense, scores the odd goal and actually looks like he gives a shit.
              I'm not sure where he fits in the team, perhaps between midfield and the CF?
              At 3rd division level he'll do well IMO.

                +1

                Intelligent player who can link the play, and can also finish. If he gets enough minutes in that role off the main striker, I think he would hit double figures this season. If he doesn't get enough minutes, then hopefully that's because someone else is on fire and keeping him out of the team!

                    To be fair Woodrow has 16 goals from just 31 appearances at League One level. I can't really see him achieving that this season but I'd be delighted if he did.

                  And Howard didn't take penalties. If he had, he probably would've scored 25 in the league.

                    We were actually pretty lucky to go up in 74. We were promoted with the equivalent of 69 points from 42 games.

                          James Collins scored 25 last time we got promoted from league 1.

                          Point being we need a striker of similar goal scoring ability as Howard or Collins, currently I don't think we have that in the squad.

                            Alli 4 in 16 in Champ a few of those deffo as sub.

                            Could probably get 18 in L1.

                              He had 9 in 25 games for Exeter before he came to us.
                              Which would suggest he could be that player.

                              Last season two strikers in the entire EFL scored 20 goals.

                              72 teams, each with two or three strikers or more, and only 2 of them had a "20 goal striker".

                              (And neither of them got promoted by the way).

                                Can we sign the one that is still available then? 😁

                                If you don’t have a 20 goal man you need 3 or 4 to push double figures.

                                Alli is one that would do that.

                                Clark is capable too.

                                  Wells is a third, and I still think that Nordas could get double figures at this level if he got enough minutes (maybe even Woodrow, who is a decent finisher). I'd still like another out-and-out goalscoring striker, but I like the amount of goals we potentially have in the rest of the squad. It reduces the reliance on that player and the risk of them getting injured.

                                  Probably because 72 teams thought they were Barcelona and passed sideways and backwards.
