20 goal a season strikers


Recommended Posts

When did we last have one?

 

I know Steve Maclean was close to that mark in the promotion season of 2004/05, but how many did he actually get?

 

If he wasn't last, was Hirsty the last to bag 20 in a season?

 

How many 20 goal a season strikers do you remember?

Mellor and Maclean both got 20 in all competitions an Madine got 18 I think.

In the league will be Hirsty. We've been craving one for years.

I am hoping Keane could be the one, get him going this year sign him perm in summer then next year he's the man. If we can get him some supply that is

I remember being confident at the start of the 94 season that Brighty would top 20 and we would win the league, and showing people how god like he was in my sticker album.

In a good season in the Championship, there will be about 5 20+ goal strikers.

Last season ;

Ross McCormack

Leeds United

28

Jordan Rhodes

Blackburn Rovers

25

Troy Deeney

Watford

24

Lewis Grabban

AFC Bournemouth

22

Danny Ings

Burnley

21

Chris Martin

Derby County

20

Dave Nugent

Leicester City

20

Sam Vokes

Burnley

20

It's no surprise that the top clubs are the ones with the 20 goal strikers, but they've got them because they can afford it.

Who of those could we afford, and would we have the ammunition to supply them? 20 goal strikers don't often come as half season loans, and less often to teams who do t create mountains of opportunities.

It takes more than a striker to get a 20 goal striker.

I still can't believe Mellor got 20 in that poo poo season. Wasn't he injured for a couple of months as well, or at least one month?

Testament to how good a striker he was at that level I suppose.

 

Shame he had to retire early.

Completely forgot about Mellor. Also hadn't realised Madine got so many either. It's a shame his behavioural problems seemed to derail any momentum he had.

Madine, like Mellor (and Maclean come to think of it) also had a lengthy spell on the sidelines if I remember rightly.

Madine missed a good three or four weeks I think.

Mellor got two hatricks in a couple of weeks didnt he?

 

Also, cant believe MacLean scored 13 in 06/07. Didnt he trigger some clause in his contract and he couldn't play? I remember something going on with the board when he got sold. In our playoff season, he got injured in the Donny Rovers game at the start of March, so missed a good few months. We all know what happened in the game he came back :rolleyes:

Didn't that trigger the rise of Drew Talbot though?

Fuuuucking hell he really wasn't 'class' was he? Few pens and tap ins against shower opposition. Really has got to stop this imaginary talent people associate with him based out of thin air
