Strikers will probably score more when Maddison is in the side as he's a quality "assister" at this level. Almost 70 assists in his last 4.5 seasons at Peterborough.
Although of course Peterborough had better strikers than we currently do.

Summed it up in a nutshell. You could have the best "assister" in the world but if you have shit strikers then the "assister's" role in the team is not worth talking about

I would expect both Washington and Aneke to be comfortably in double figures. It is noticeable how defenders stand off Aneke. At this level he looks to me to be unplayable and is probably why Bowyer is being so careful with him.
Pleased for Joe Pigott and his family that he has established himself as a League 1 striker. Joe is more than the sum of his parts. He doesn't have pace, heading is average and isn't as strong as Aneke or Evans etc. But ever since I saw him score 4 and should have been 5 (Harriott blocked the ball on the line) against Huddersfield at Sparrows Lane I knew he had an eye for goal and would've a career some where outside the top two divisions.
Didn't work out at Cafc but Joe who will be 27 in 3 weeks time is at the height of his poaching powers. Great that he scored twice on the return to Plough lane.
I notice that neither Clarke-Harris or Dembele have brilliant accuracy or conversion rates - Still question their defence so if those two stop scoring I can see another typical slide for Peterborough
Goals per minute is a much better stat than goals/appearances
Agree, especially in the case of Chuks who I doubt with start and finish a match all season.
No worries as long as he can influence a game when he is on the pitch. Aneke's hold up play and strength got us over the line last night just as the game was going back to Fleetwood to possibly sneak a draw.
I see that Ched Evans the "proper striker" mentioned in the match thread isn't in the top 12.
he does seem to do well against us, doesn't he. definitely a fine player at this level - the evidence has been put in front of us - but you'd think we can find an equivalent if we need

He's scored 3 goals against us, 2 last night. So 1 goal before then?
Only 4 this season, but he scored 1 in each of the two games prior to last night.
All I'm saying guys and girls is that Luke Jephcott is Welsh... and Young enough to be signed into our side without affecting salary caps... Might cost a few squid though.
Conor Washington, joint 5th best in the league at the moment:
Washington with the best conversion rate for shots on target in that table too.
Have to be a bit careful with taking certain stats in isolation. For example, Joe Pigott's conversion rate is only 20% but he has had 30 shots (three times as many as Washington). Either Wimbledon are creating a lot of chances or, more likely, Pigott is taking every opportunity to shoot. If the latter is the case then his shot accuracy stat of 57% is good.

(Yes, I'm looking at you Smyth)
We'll miss is output towards goals if he's injured but could be a chance for MM to get his tats out.
Although of course Peterborough had better strikers than we currently do.
Washington - 3 goals from 8 appearances
Anneke - 2 goals from 5 appearances
Smyth - 0 goals from 6 appearances
Bogle - 0 goals from 5 appearances
1 goal from each of Doughty, Forster-Caskey, Pratley, Shinnie and Williams.
For some of that time
19 goals will be fine.
Well, typically as a result of some kind of goal attempt.
Kane Hemmings getting 5 when playing for struggling Burton is impressive too
