Connor Washington's career in League 1 at Peterborough was 27 goals in 82 games. They are a more attacking team than Cafc but 1goal in 3 games is a decent record.
Connor scored only 13 goals in 107 matches for QPR and Sheffield United in the Championship. At 28 years old he may be reaching his peak for awareness and consistency.
I felt he was going to be our only regular goal scorer after Bonne was sold and Bogle and Smyth may have qualities but Smyth is not a goal scorer and Bogle has only a good record in League 2.
To finish in the top 2, the January window will need to bring a striker capable of scoring goals. Good luck Steve Gallen on that one.
I like Aneke playing as a number 9 but his injury record is poor and we can't rely on him playing more than 50% of our matches.
Connor Washington will have quiet games similar to the Blackpool match but we need to feed him with passes. He is our number 1 goal scorer unless Chuks can stay fit and give him competition.
Apologies for having to point it out Lancs as your stats are always excellent but Oztumer got a goal in the EFL Trophy against Wimbledon
no apology needed, I need you guys to ensure I end up with the correct stats, I'll correct my original but leave the copy here as is.
Cheers Lancs, dont ever want you thinking that I'm criticising your excellent work
Thinking about it, we've had 3 different players scoring already from free kicks, Oztumer, JFC and Shinnie, which is definitely an improvement over last season!
Shinnie's the best player from what I've seen, but Oz gets 'free kick of the season' so far. Can't wait for Inniss' contribution, if we're aiming for 1 per player.

Technically, he has only missed one game through injury this season. His other absence from the matchday squad was due to Covid.

Chuks Aneke fitness record has been stop start since he came on at the Valley last season and scored after a few minutes. This affects his form and he wasn't always picked when fit again. He could be so effective in this division if he can play regularly and his confidence is high. I hope it's not "Daniel Sturridge syndrome" Where DS could only play when he felt 100% fit according to his close friend of 15 years Micah Richards. Professional footballers are hardly ever 100% fit
For Chuks and Cafc sake I hope he can play plenty of games this season as he could be a big player for the team as Lee Bowyer has now accepted that Aneke can be a number 9, which with his physique is no surprise.
I think he potentially could be a bigger player for us than Taylor was at this level and I know that is a big statement. Yes, keeping him fit is going to be very important. This is probably a good time to extend his contract IMO.

If we go 1 down - we don't win games.
