Yeah, but they didn't get anywhere near 100 goals. |  |

They would have had one if we *allegedly* hadn't made Swansea recall him.
If we are being honest, a 20 a season striker isn't important if you've goals coming from throughout the team, but very few teams can achieve that. [Post edited 28 Jun 2023 9:06]

It is indeed a myth.
However, the fact is, if you are struggling to convert chances, you struggle to win games.
We had a period during last season where we created good quality scoring chances but failed to take advantage of that.
A good goal scorer is worth their salt, especially if you, like we ended up doing, finding others that chipped in with a few as well.
Obviously last year, others did more than 'chip in'! |  |

Burnley (Championship)
Plymouth (League 1)
Leyton Orient (League 2)
None had a 20 goal a season. Burnley had 17.
I think we've already got a 20 goal a season attacking player in the squad in Chappers. Good finishers score goals, I can't see any reason why he won't step up again.
We do need a forward though, but it's not new news. There's no way we won't bring someone in. [Post edited 28 Jun 2023 9:30]

Burton Albion won the League Two title in 2014/15 with their top scorer Lucas Akins only getting nine. |  |

It’s not just about goal return either is it. We were a much better team with Hirst playing than when Ladapo started, despite Freddie having the better goal to game ratio. | | | |

Probably more common place at the lower levels as more loan players are in and out, more short term deals etc. You could easily have a situation where one player scores 10 goals between Aug-Nov then another between Nov-Feb etc. |  |

To win the league and have a top scorer on 10 must be pretty exceptional. Of course teams don’t need a 20 goal striker though. As Chelters says, as long as sufficient goals come from somewhere it doesn’t really matter where. |  |

And their top scorer of 10 appears to have had 5 penalties? |  |
