seventy_times_7 Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 Just wondering what the general opinion was about who would up towards the top of the scoring charts in this seasons championship. There seems to be a hell of a lot of competition, but it's gotta be Dean Ashton for me. There's plenty of others who could be there or thereabouts though. Johnson and Crouch (should they decide not to move on), Dave Nugent, Dave Kitson, Kenny Miller, Leon McKenzie, Danny Webber, Rob Hulse, Jon Macken, along with a few outsiders such as Elloitt from Hull, Howard from Luton or even Juan Ugarte. When you start looking at the quality of strikers at other clubs, it brings home how short we are up front. I'm still confident that connolly can do a good job, but he needs a partner in crime. Anyhow, thoughts on top scorers anyone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazza Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 Andrew Johnson if he's still with Palace for me, Ashton will be up there no doubt too. Wouldn't discount Connolly though, over the last dozen games or so of last season he probably got more than anyone else and Ric Flair has said before that if you take that and put it over the season then it's 28 or 29 goals, which would be more than Ellington i think.

Alexikokopops Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 Dean Ashton, he did it for the first half of last season AND in the Premiership. Johnson maybe, if he stays. Connolly if he can keep the form he showed at the end of last season for the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjno1 Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 It would have to be Dean Ashton for me. I also think Connolly can get up there in the top goal scorers only if he can just find the right partnership upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seanfox778 Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 i agree with connolly being up there because it was only two seasons ago he was getting 20+ goals for wimbledon he just needed time to settle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 If Johnson stays he will destroy this league! Also same goes with Crouch - he will be up there if he stays! Hope Conolly will - defo has the potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnerz Posted 13 July 2005 Share Posted 13 July 2005 De Vries 137305[/snapback] that just took it to a new level 137314[/snapback] Dark horses Macken and Hulse otherwise Johnson/Ashton like a lot of others state 137331[/snapback] Agreed However most clubs have one striker who gets all the goals we've got 2 or 3 capable of getting them. Dublin got a few last season despite playing mainly Centre back. Connolly hit form at the right time and De Vries record in Scotlands been good, if he can re-discover that then we're in for a good season methinks. Although I personally am expecting a lot of 1-0's as we seem to be strong at the back on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
