If only my aunty had blcks. Tom Nichols was “always unlucky” In this business you have to take chances. There are no awards for effort. I’m not saying give up on the guy, I’m saying several of his chances should have been taken and if so, we might have won the game. More possession, more chances but less goals. A massive however is that the difference was our defence. We scored 3 and Loft got one. That was the difference but I’m just saying loft should have scored at least 2 more. Obvs , but sometimes you have to stick with a striker for a bit . Collins couldn’t score for toffee to start with but he came good. Loft is getting into goal scoring positions which is a great sign, he’s not yet clinical but given a bit of time and his growing confidence he may come good. His mobility is definitely a plus . Agree with all of that. I’m just saying even at L1 level he should have had at least another based on those chances.

You just move onto the next chance . 3 goals so far is respectable for a bottom 4 side . There’s potential there and I think he could come good given time.

Considering he didn't score his first league goal until December last year, his goals per game ratio has been brilliant.
Apart from Erling Haaland and Mitrovic who scored 40+ for Fulham last season, I can't think of anybody else whose been as prolific as Aaron Collins over the last 10 months
I make that 23 goals in his last 36 games.
When people are knocking Joey Barton about his recruitment, remember Aaron Collins was a free transfer 🙂

I think loft has surprised a few people this year in a good way. Thought he was a bit unlucky with the chances missed in the first half. One a bit of good defending and the other seemed like he was trying to cross to someone more central and got stuck between shooting and passing. Didn't get a clear view of 2nd half misses but the goal looked well taken. Yes we could have scored more but when you score 3 and still lose you know the issue is elsewhere. Collins hit the post a few weeks ago when it looked easier to score, it happens. If the 2 keep up their partnership we'll score a few as well as miss some guilt edged chances but should be enough for a regular 3 points. Get the defence sorted and we'll be just fine. If only my aunty had blcks. Tom Nichols was “always unlucky” In this business you have to take chances. There are no awards for effort. I’m not saying give up on the guy, I’m saying several of his chances should have been taken and if so, we might have won the game. More possession, more chances but less goals. A massive however is that the difference was our defence. We scored 3 and Loft got one. That was the difference but I’m just saying loft should have scored at least 2 more. Ryan Loft has pretty much scored as many league goals in the last month than Tom Nichols did in not far off 100 games! A tad unfair to compare him to Tom Nichols 🙂

I look forward to us selling him to the first bidder in January. Probably for something pathetic like 500k paid in instalments!

There more to be seen from this side. Too early to be writing us off.

Agree with all of that. I’m just saying even at L1 level he should have had at least another based on those chances. Agreed but good strikers never worry about missing . You just move onto the next chance . 3 goals so far is respectable for a bottom 4 side . There’s potential there and I think he could come good given time. If you were to look at any striker you would no doubt over a season have a large tally of misses. Its the total of goals scored over the season that count. At his current rate if he features in all games he will bag something like 15 goals over the season. Collins on current form is heading towards the 27-30 mark. Marquis it seems will not have a big goal tally but will be valued for work rate and assists. Perhaps 6-8 goals for him. Coburn is an unknown quantity so anything from 0-25 is possible ! Its only a matter of time before Evans starts hitting the net again and i expect him to grab 6-8 goals with similar assists. McCormick too hopefully will be getting 6-8 goals plus assists. So i see a minimum of 60 goals in the team not including the odd goal here and there from other team members. Tighten the defence to keep more clean sheets and thats a comfortable midtable finish. Even at the moment ,sat in the bottom 4 only 6 teams have scored more goals than us. Edit: The question is...will Collins get called up to the Wales squad ?

UTG Sorry I was being far too ambitious! 250k paid in six installments over the next three years whilst our League One rivals wont sell their best strikers for less than 5 million!

Don’t be a numpty Oldie , you’re better than that 🙄 Just taking the water. Memories of Eric Morecambe, Luton Town and Malcolm MacDonald...before your time and when humour was a much larger part of the football experience.

He’s worth 300-400k maximum and that’s being generous.
