I was looking (by accident) at the last 10 year league 1 top scorers and it surprised me how few make the step up, even to the championship. I believe if you haven't moved by 21/22 you probably won't. Big target men types do mature a bit later though

Season Top scorer Club Goals
2004–05 Northern Ireland Stuart Elliott Hull City 27
England Dean Windass Bradford City

2005–06 Wales Freddy Eastwood Southend United 23
England Billy Sharp Scunthorpe United

2006–07 England Billy Sharp Scunthorpe United 30

2007–08 Trinidad and Tobago Jason Scotland Swansea City 24

2008–09 Republic of Ireland Simon Cox Swindon Town 29
England Rickie Lambert Bristol Rovers

2009–10 England Rickie Lambert Southampton 30

2010–11 Scotland Craig Mackail-Smith Peterborough United 27

2011–12 Scotland Jordan Rhodes Huddersfield Town 38

2012–13 Republic of Ireland Paddy Madden Yeovil Town 24

2013–14 England Sam Baldock Bristol City 24

2014–15 England Joe Garner Preston North End 26

I do agree fella also jack Payne of Southend is a raw talent who can play higher.only sticking point would be what fees these youngsters would command but that's what we need I believe young,hungry players :ayatollah:

Jack payne is a great talent would love to see him here, would be wasted with slade though. Sure hes available on a free too end of season but would prob have to pay compensation?

I watched tom bradshaw earlier for wallsall. Scored a cracking goal really good finish, but not convinced on his overall play gave the ball away quite a few times, could be another gamble which goes tits up again?

Could be right fella on the Bradshaw one then again most signings are gambles aren't they?me personally I'd like to see us go the the younger,hungrier player route.I'd think Oxford would want a mill or two for roofe so if we could nab Payne even for a fee I'd be well happy with that one.We have a fair few experienced players at the club so if we could offload a few and get a sprinkling of good young raw talent in that would be great :bluescarf: :ayatollah: here's hoping :bluebird:

I agree with u there mate, jack payne and kemar roofe would make great signings, roofe would make an ideal replacement for noone.

We would just need a new manager then to utilise them in their best positions and get the best out of their talents.

I love all this speculation of let's get this one or that one..
Can we afford them
Will they come seeing as how we have treated previous signings.
If they are that good surely other teams will come in.

I'd be worried if we couldn't afford them fella.obviously taking into account that the embargo thing does get lifted and we have an ambitious new manager in place.And yes other teams will be in for them make no mistake about that :ayatollah:
