    Still not sure that starting 11 has enough goals in it.

    Clare isn’t here to be a back up, no matter if you made your mind up on him during the first half on Saturday, think he’s got a pretty high upside to him in terms of potential

    Possibly, but we failed to score against a very experienced Sheff Wednesday back four, so maybe they won’t come much tougher than that defensively.

    It's great to get away from a side packed with the likes of Pratley, Watson, Gunter and Pearce - each one of them have their merits but consistently playing three or even all four of them limits the energy and pace in the team. It also does nothing for the future.

    Stockley 15-20
    DJ & Kirk 15-20 between them
    Gilbey 5-10
    Morgan 5
    Clare 5
    Inniss & other defenders 5
    Washington 10

    That’s a 60-75 goals. The numbers add up quickly.

    Very very wishful thinking. 

    Stockley is the only one you'd be confident in.

    We just need to sign that Randell fella and this guy https://globalsportsarchive.com/people/soccer/lorenzo-hop/47917/ and my day will be complete.

    Hopefully with Gilbey back in the no10 role, he'll add goals. Really found his form towards the end of last season.

    I think some of those figures are a bit generous

    Yeah those numbers are definitely on the generous side! 

    Personally would prefer another striker and play 4-4-2, but Adkins seems to prefer 1 up.

    I don't believe him for a second, why would a random Charlton fan have a 2015 Range Rover Evoque with a 2011 personalised numberplate that spells out C KIRK when they're name is Jake?
    Have you ever thought of becoming a detective?  :smile:

    Can’t see anything in the Jephcott rumours. It’s been said before but we’re not going to spend that sort of money for someone to sit on the bench behind Stockley. 
    Get your point with the cost involved, but we need a striker with a proven record to support/back up Stockley, and maybe Jephcott is that player, and we will need to spend realistically to get the right player in, the alternative is reliance on youth ie Davison

    I don't think it's just Adkins, I don't think many teams play with 2 strikers these days. When I checked last weekend no one in league one was playing two up top.

    Jephcott is 4 months younger than Davison, just saying. (Not sure what I'm saying, though)

    Not sure I’d even be too confident in Stockley getting 15-20. With a fair wind he might get there.

    Would be good to get a permanent striker signed up. Dion Charles would be great. Then loans at LB, CB and CAM. Then Hendo in as a short term No2 keeper.

    agreed - morgan and dobson don't appear to have goals in them - gilby does but isn't a general type - i see him and clare as being interchangeable - break the bank for a goalscoring midfield playmaker who morgan can deputise for and a  pacey left back now and we are in business  - then sort the schwarz situation out one way or another and bring a CB in

    Tbf, he got 8 in 22 last year. So equals out to about 16-20 goals across a 46 game season in the league.

    Yeah I know I’m in the minority camp and it’s seen as a little outdated, but if you’ve got two goal scoring strikers that compliment each other I think it would be the difference at this level.

    Agree entirely and the rest can be loans for cover.

    Desperately in need of goals from midfield.

    Yeah I don't really disagree, I really like Washington up top. With Stockley's physicality and Washington's movement I wouldn't expect any defence would enjoy facing that.

    But I guess teams these days want/need/tend to have 3 midfielders in the centre of the park.

    That works mathematically, but in practicality it isn’t that easy

    If you're going by highest total in a season so far, here are the goals in our squad - in League One or above: 

    Washington: 12
    Stockley: 8
    Jaiyesimi: 4
    Gilbey: 5
    Kirk: 6
    Clare: 4
    Morgan: 1
    Dobson: 1
    All of our defenders: 4

    Even with Forster-Caskey's 5, it's clearly not enough goals in the squad.

    I thought Kirk has scored 24 on 3 seasons so a high of 6 can’t be right
