Reading Rebel Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Took a look at the top goal scorers in the Premier, Central and South and West division 1. Amazed to see a player called John Mills, playing for Didcot who has already scored 32 goals with more than half the season still to go. He also scored 2 goals in the last round of the trophy against Merthyr. Can't see him being at Didcot for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlenSTFC Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 How can Hereford be in for any decent players when they keep being pulled up for financial issues? If he's scored that many he won't come cheap, plus surely he must have read/heard all about their situation, why would you be stupid enough to move there on no doubt empty promises! If I were him I'd wait until another more local club shows an interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Looking at strikers and us if you look at JD, Hatchett & Ed Smith's records for us they are all outstanding I don't think we need any more. Where we do possibly lack goals is midfield from a central area (especialy with Warren out) and hopefully Luke Knight will start to add to our goals soon as all our other central midfielders are pretty defensive and looking at his goal for Barton against us last season goals are probably one of the reasons he was brought in. With regards to other strikers at other clubs John Mills record is outstanding, but then so are other players. You only need to look at Shane Cooper-Clark's record at Bracknell - 24 goals in 23 games this season! I'm sure Bakes & Unders will have their eye on players lower down that might be able to step-up over the in all areas of the pitch. If we look back over the summer if you remember we had Sam Barratt with us for a few games and I thought he was an excellent prospect. Over the last few weeks he's just started to get in the Maidenhead side and is now getting some rave reviews. Was really disappointed we could not get him over the summer.

GlenSTFC Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Big difference in quality though from step 5 (Bracknell) to our step 3 level. I doubt that player would be prolific but saying that if he was young enough (under 20) to learn then it could be worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sam Barratt was at Bracknell last season. Now look how he's doing. But anyhow this should be looked into during pre-season mainly, not during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 But Sam isn't a striker, I meant that striker would struggle to get double figures at our level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonblack Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 But Sam isn't a striker, I meant that striker would struggle to get double figures at our level. That's probably what they said about Austen ( QPR ) and Lambert ( Liverpool ) and countless others no doubt . Players can improve with better teams .

Sir Rebel1965 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Someone on here was saying how good Simon Martin was - maybe he should be approached! His goals to game ratio was close to Ed's - Ed has 75% goals to games ration and Simon has 75% no goals to games ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Martin in his heyday was wanted by Leicester City and was also bought by Hucknall Town for £10,000. Given that he has also played for St Albans,Hayes and playing now for Hitchin in a higher league than when he was playing at Slough, he cannot be that bad !

3spirit Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 A much younger Simon Martin was probably a decent player. Obviously,RR ! Perhaps Simon Martin did something to Rebel1965,as he does seem rather fixated about his football ability. We know Simon isn't a prolific scorer or has the skill of an Ed Smith or Johnny Dyer but to me he is an honest,hard-working,strong,battling forward, who in certain games can be a pain to mark,if you are a central defender and dependent on the style of play, can do a reasonable job and is a team player.Unlike some strikers.
