Parkin & Rendell are No's 2 & 3 in the top scorers charts, I doubt neither of those will play league football again, that suggests there is a gulf between the Conference and Div 2 when it comes to scoring goals?
As far as Akinde returning to us I doubt neither fans nor the player would think that's a good move after his last spell with us!

Go on ... I'll start: Through ball from Lines to Akinde. Akinde shot hits the past and rebounds into the path of Easter. Easter side steps. Still Easter. EASTERRRRRRR!!!!!

No I would not want to sign the top scorer of the league we are currently in.

Nah, we'd resort to long balls. I like the smalls re Easter and Taylor.

Love the fact people are making out that Akinde is only scoring a. because he gets lots of penalties and b. because it is easy to score in this league. That shows how woeful our front line must be then. None of our strikers are anywhere near the top scorers list in this league, Rovers find it exceedingly difficult to score in the Vanarama and our top scorer, Taylor, wouldn't even have as many as he has now if it wasn't for penalties!

Some would say he's found his level , take away the 11 penaltys he's scored and his tally looks less impressive . He won't find as many poor defences in league two as he's found in the conference . He didn't fit in well at the club before and I don't think he would in the future. take away 11 penalties and he would still be the leagues top scorer, 5 ahead of our top scorer. I hope you have taken the penalties away from our top scorers total?

Yes - pair him up with Andy Williams and buy shares in barn doors, cows arses and banjos!!!
His third touch has clearly improved since leaving us!

Go on ... I'll start: Through ball from Mata to Sturridge. Sturridge shot hits the post and rebounds into the path of Easter. Easter side steps. Still Easter. EASTERRRRRRR!!!!! Ok, how about that then?

So was the whole point of starting this thread just to have another yet pop at our strikers/DC's management? I take it you wasn't at the Mem on Friday or you would have seen we have potentially one of the best strikers we've had at the club since Hoskins, plus he's proven himself in league football unlike Akinde.

But he's scored 11 penalties. Seriously, what the obsession with people discounting penalties from a strikers goal tally? Lambert took and scored penalties, is he not good enough either?

Because within reason anybody can score a penalty but scoring goals in open play is a lot harder. Harrold's 18 goals in one season with 6 or 7 from the spot proves that beyond doubt given his subsequent record!

I was pointing out that even if he didnt score all his penalties he would still be our leagues top scorer

No the whole point of starting this thread was to ask a legitimate question. I had in mind what it might be like to pair Easter and Akinde in League 2 next season. Rather than me have an agenda against DC it strikes me you're the one with the agenda Topper: against anything I say. It's getting a bit tedious to be honest. I've not had a bad word to say about Easter and was pushing for him in the starting line up so your usual Barbed comment about the Mem makes no sense either. Unless, of course, you meant the best striker since Hoskins is Matty Taylor?

I'll probably get slated for this, but in Nathan Blissett we have a similar player to akinde... Younger and a much rawer talent. We've got a better shot next season by keeping Easter fit and getting Taylor on the score sheet more frequently

Seems like the only thing he's good at is not being booked.85 fouls and only 8 bookings absolute joke. Although he did get sent off once.
