All other players there including Chester who continues his rehab. Having Chessy back to continue his rehab is not only classy, it will also be great PR, showing that the club really does care about players, even when they have left the club. 21CSchizoidRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Wonder if the new kit is coming at the same time as new training gear. That's last season's training wear isn't it? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmoram1995 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I genuinely feel confident about this season I think certain players will be a surprise package. my prediction 2nd automatic promotion top scorer Collins 16 goals fewer goals scored but stronger at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I’m amazed that people are predicting great things from Collins. He isn’t a natural striker and so doesn’t take up good positions in the box. He takes up deep positions because he lacks the hunger or natural finishing skill to be a goal poacher. If he could get himself in the mix more, like his goal against Portsmouth, he might have a chance, but too often he gets caught the wrong side of defenders and the ball gets cleared before it can reach him.

Blondest Goat Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Collins being our top scorer AND us getting automatic promotion feels like something that could only happen in a parallel universe. If Collins is our top scorer I think we'll be lucky to get the playoffs. Edited June 30, 2023 by Blondest Goat Srg and Steve How Hard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. There isn't an out and out goal scorer in the Team. I suspect there is the issue everyone knows we need a goalscorer but we do not yet have one. So the most forward minded player has to become that hitman. Once a new striker is signed - which all hints suggest is on the way (whom, I do not care to guess) - attention will migrate to that individual.

I'd be perfectly happy with (provided they stay) Sibs, Knight, Barks, NML, Bird, Cash each scoring 5 more than they did last season. Much better than relying on 1 player to get 25...

He scored 26 for Luton in this League. I wonder how many he would've scored if he would've taken up good positions in the box.

McGoldrick got more goals last season than in any other season in his whole career. I'm not saying that Collins will be a 20+ goal scorer next season, but players do seem to get seasons where everything clicks and why can't it be him?

I’d argue it’s more of a problem than ever as pace/athleticism is more important than it used to be. But regardless of that, everyone is different. You can’t just assume that because a player did something 5 years ago that they can now. And frankly, he doesn’t look remotely capable.
