Payne scored more goals than any other shrewsbury player last season. The shrewsbury team you kept banging on about last season remember? I checked jimmy greaves,alan shearer and sergio aguerro's goal records and they clearly have counted all their goals including penalties and free kicks. You always manipulate statistics to suit your point of view and it does you no credit at all. I didn't keep banging on about Shrewsbury last season at all, although they did do incredibly well. Payne got 9 goals from open play and 2 penalties. 11 goals. Wow. He also has 16 goals in 100+ appearances in the football league. Those are the facts. Right now an eleven goal a season striker is what we need and the good news is we know payne can do it. |

He's looked unfit and very poor so far. Lacks pace, rarely challenges for headers and generally doesn't offer much of a threat. Fingers crossed he can turn it around, but at the moment he looks disinterested. |

Pace is not relevant to stefan payne as hes not that type of striker. I think hes a striker who likes to try and hold off the centre-back and bring the ball down if he can rather than out jump his opponent but its not really working for him right now. For me this season is all about staying up and stefan payne is the only big physically strong forward we have at the club and the only player who scored goals at this level last season. So with that in mind i remain optimistic that he can play a part in getting us to safety. |

One goal. Just one goal will set him off.
Play five upfront for just one game, pass to him at all times and the goal might come. Then the back of the net will become his home.
Of course we'll lose that one game 7-1, but no pain, no gain.

But he's not coping very well under struggling conditions like we've found ourselves in this season. DC is all about building a team that will work hard for each other, have the right attitude and give everything for the shirt. At the moment, Stefan Payne definitely doesn't appear to be that man. |

Moult got a move to the league above yours which prob tells you were your standard is and Frear is not there best winger its Cadden at Motherwell who will end up in championship to Did you question the EPL when Vardy and Gray bang goals in there who were non league? Or the strength of the championship cos Taylor has only 2 goals at City? Moult got a move to the league above ours,and you are questioning where our standard is? join the club mate!He still went from non league to Scot prem directly. Neither Vardy or Gray moved directly from non league to Premier.Frear was 1st choice when he moved to Motherwell,Cadden no relevance to my post,was he even there then? Strength of the Championship or the scoring feats of Taylor are nothing to do with non league players going to Scot prem.All your points are moot. |

Lacks pace, rarely challenges for headers and generally doesn't offer much of a threat. Fingers crossed he can turn it around, but at the moment he looks disinterested. Payne not challenging for headers is a weird one,if you watch him closely he will quite often be a couple of yards from the defender,and moving towards him,where he looks like he will be the one to get a running jump on his opponent,then he pulls out completely! It's all very odd to me. |

No it’s not that bad, by my reckoning it will be in the 47 so that doesn’t sound so bad? 😂 |

Strangely he showed all those on Sunday when he was trying to protect Sincs from getting his red card, just why he can't seem to show them during the actual game is just plain odd. |

Interested to know opinions as I'm sure they will vary given the lack of goals being scored by forwards this season.
For me, there is little doubt Nichols is the best player. Seems to be streets ahead of ALL our other strikers in almost every department.
As none of our other strikers look any more like scoring, I think Nichols should be one of the first names on the team sheet.
He at least brings something to the table. The team seems to play better with him in it because he's the only striker with any real ability or intelligence.
In my opinion he's been one of our better performers this season, particularly in recent weeks when he's been MOTM at least twice.
If we had someone like Telford banging in goals for the reserves then there would be a strong argument for giving him a chance. Unfortunately that isn't the case.
I honestly believe Nichols would have little trouble finding another league club if he was released, whereas Reilly and Payne would be lucky to find any takers in the Conference.
Having said all that, we desperately need to sign someone in January who can put the ball in the net as none of our strikers - Nichols included - look capable on that front.
I would imagine this poll might end up quite split. A bit different to comparing Taylor, Harrison, Bodin and even Gaffney.
Good for him. Lets hope he does

How anyone can vote for a STRIKER who has scored ONE goal in 49 games in 12 months and 3 weeks is beyond a joke. If he is truly the best striker we have then Clarke needs sacking

Not sure you can fully blame DC for Payne turning into a v. poor looking striker this season. |
