I don't think we've ever had such competition for places in attack, especially not with all of them scoring goals. I know we had a thread at the start of the season asking who everyone thought would finish as top scorer, but I think at the time we were assuming that:

(a) Nugent would be leaving in January (with our current form it now seems more likely that he will stay),

(b) Dichio would again struggle to score/get a place in the team,

(c) Agyemang would again be a bit-part player,

and (d) Ormerod would struggle to regain fitness before xmas, let alone start scoring as soon as he got on the pitch!

On top of that, we've signed Neil Mellor since then, and even though he seems to be far from fit right now, he surely will be at some point and in this team he should get plenty of scoring opportunities when others pick up knocks later in the season.

It's a great thing goals coming from so many different outlets, but who do you now think will finish as our top scorer?
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

My prediction is
1st - Whaley
2nd - Nugent
3rd - Ormerod/ Dichio joint places
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

I go for:

1. Whaley
2. Nugent
3. Ormerod


I hope it will be Nugent though! 🙂 That should mean that he will stay in PNE until the end of this season.
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

I honestly have not got a clue who will be top scorer this season.

And if a season ticket holder can't tell where the number 1 goal threat is coming from, what chance have the opposition of knowing? It's bloody great ain't it! 😀
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

I'm going for Whaley asw he has more chance of still being here come the end of the season that Nuge. 😀 I hope both are and if they are, the Prem is a great possibility.
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

I was working on a worst case scenario where nugent leaves in voting for Ormerod. The spread of opinion just further highlights what a fine squad we have.

And why not paddy???

Well, I was just "keeping alive" the joke by justinr73. 😉

Paddy is not a long shot here at all: he's already scored 5 league goals, and is showing the best form of his PNE career. His position as a striker also gives him an advantage over Whaley who won't get into as good and many goalscoring opportinities as Aggy. Paddy will also stay at PNE until the end of the season much more likely than Nugent or Whaley.

Two things which talk against Aggy are 1) his minor injury problems (hip) and doubts about his fitness, and 2) the quite likely - in my opinion - scenario where Aggy will be our weapon from the substitutes bench whereas Nugent, Ormerod and Dichio will the ones from who Simmo regularly chooses his 2 strikers for the starting line-up.

But how about some further questions to this discussion:

- How many league goals will our top scorer score this season? 15? 😕 20? 😕
- How many players will score 10 or more league goals this season?

If the current "goal form" more or less continues 'til the end of the season, it could well be that Nugent, Whaley, Dichio, Agyemang and Ormerod will all score 10 or more goals, but maybe none of them more than 15. 😱

Presumably Paddy can count on at least one more vote...

I wonder who that could be from.......

Multiply by 46/16 = 2.875 the current goal tallies:

Whaley: 5
Agyemang: 5
Dichio: 4
Nugent: 4
Ormerod: 2

and for Ormerod take into account that he has played only a handful of games so far, but he seems to be on fantastic goalscoring form.


Not difficult, but not novel either. 😎

Fair play. Couldnt be arsed working it out. Aggy will top score with 17.
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

Sorry but Nugent will top score with 18 😛

Yeah,i know whats coming.....someone will post ??? with 19.....i wonder of the 6 players mooted who'll end up on 22 goals? 😛
 
Re: Top goalscorer?

I think if Whaley can continue the form he has shown so far this season through to next summer then he will finish top & blitz his target - off current form i can see him topping 20 😀
