the mythical 20 goal a season striker 16:12 - May 3 with 3588 views | Jigsore | pree the top Championship goalscorers now the regular season is over. No one got over 20. 13 will get you 5th place. from memory Piroe and Sainz scoring theirs in patches rather than consistently. in this division Kelman would do well to get 10 next season discuss |  |

Frey has scored an average of 0.4 goals a game in the championship this season. Where do you think we'll find someone on our budget who'll do better than that? |  | |  |

I quite like Frey, he's a 100%er and the defenders know they've been in a game. |  | |  |

Cheek turns 34 in August so I don't think so. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Agreed. He's not great, but always puts in a shift and, as you say, he works the defenders. That's something you don't see from our other strikers. |  | |  |

Maybe because he'd looked out of his depth in the Championship, needed a loan and it was a great plan to give him regular matches and build his confidence and technique elsewhere? |  | |  |

Exactly. Especially as he is sometimes tasked with drawing away defenders to allow other players the space to take a shot, as explained in the podcast I posted on another thread. Also as you say those players are way out of our budget. Even if we could afford their wages, the transfer fees for Piroe, Saintz, Conway etc would be more like €10 million than the €1-2 million we could afford. |  | |  |

Was thinking of posting exactly the same thing. A bit older than is ideal but I believe he’s out of contract. Would be good to play on the left if we didn’t get to sign Koki. Ryan Hardie has got a great scoring record but is in his late 20s and would presumably cost a fair bit too. |  | |  |

He’s an upgrade on a struggling Dykes . I like him because despite his lack of ability. He gives us all and has contributed when he’s played. |  | |  |

Maybe to get automatic promotion but not the play offs. Sunderland and Coventry each only had one player who scored double figures in goals. Bristol City and Sheffield Utd each had two. Middlesbrough had three and didn't make the play offs. We definitely needed our forwards to score more though. Especially Celar. Also more from midfield - no-one scored more than three from midfield. If only Celar had scored as many as Frey - so not outlandish - we'd have scored more/as many as Sunderland/Bristol City. |  | |  |
the mythical 20 goal a season striker on 07:12 - May 5 with 987 views | ngbqpr | Norwich had two of the Top 5 and finished one point ahead of us. Sharing them out's the name of the game these days, imho. Look at Frey & Kolli's goals per minutes played ratios, both would have been double figures had they stayed fit / played more. Chair usually good for 7 or 8 a season if fit, he's also our main assister - his absence was keenly felt. |  |

the mythical 20 goal a season striker on 10:05 - May 5 with 789 views | themodfather | andy thomson, with 27, is one player i can think of who got 20 or more. Gallen when he came back, played all over to help the team, he never got 20. we had furlong, helguson and adel, i don't think they got 20. we have had many loans up front as well, this year injuries crippled us but if FREY was ever fit for 30 games he'd get into double figures, he looks powerful and works hard . squad rotation these days probably affects goal scoring ? simply GOALS WIN GAMES . |  | |  |
the mythical 20 goal a season striker on 11:16 - May 5 with 728 views | ParkRoyalR | Do any Championship Managers now set their team up to play through their no 9? 10's seem to be all the rage, so 15 goals from any one of your 4 attacking players seem to be a good return. |  | |  |

Weirdly enough, the season we did have 3 players sharing out over 40 goals between them (Hugill, Wells and Eze) we conceded over 70. If a single stat sums up our luck over the last decade, that's probably it. |  |

Systems score goals not players (best let QPR Twitter know!) The last Manager who clearly adhered to this statement for me was Warburton, Since Warburton I hav'nt seen a coherent style of attacking play, Cifuentes was undoubtedly a good defensive Coach but as Gallen alluded to, we just did'nt have a clear attacking style of play. |  | |  |
