seventy_times_7 Posted 13 July 2005 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???
Hazza Posted 13 July 2005 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 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.
jjno1 Posted 13 July 2005 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.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 13 July 2005 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
Fox 4 Life Posted 13 July 2005 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!
Foxes_Wizard_Striker Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 but who is your dark horse? Mine is Elliott or Fagan of Hull

rossporterlc Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 De Vries 137305[/snapback] that just took it to a new level
Janx Posted 13 July 2005 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
Durnerz Posted 13 July 2005 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.
Knighton Matt Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 andy johnson will have a poor season mark my words!
Parsons Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 wot about Lee Morris?? that would be a shock! but id have 2 go for Dean Ashton
Leicester_Mad Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 Ashton and Johnson. Cant see Crouch netting that many. Dark Horse would be Parkin or Ugarte
Hitesh Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 Ashton and Johnson. Cant see Crouch netting that many. Dark Horse would be Parkin or Ugarte 137427[/snapback] The irony being he might be going to Liverpool, wher i cant see him doing any better!
woznotwos Posted 13 July 2005 Posted 13 July 2005 if Pahars is fit and ready to go he'd be my first choice,another dark horse would be lita at reading!!!!!!!
