Scored in all 5 of the last 5 games. Always has been and will be someone who scores if chances are created for him. Would score loads at a dominate club unfourtunetly for him neither is or the MK Dons were/are.

Also that is 10 goals in 16 appreances this season so for you to not call it prolific is actually idiotic so assuming you thought he had been playing since the start for them.

Ye thought he had been playing regularly, be interesting to see if he can keep doing it.

If he plays at this level and scores at a similar rate fair enough but he didn’t. His first touch wasn’t good enough and he lacked lightning pace.

We also signed Doyle who had an even better scoring record in the lower divisions but was anything but prolific with us.

This two are nothing to do with tactics or systems, they simply weren’t good enough at Championship level.

Healey will score goals at any level of provided with opportunities. He is a goal scorer. The problem with us is that we didn’t create chances. We still don’t create enough chances people get caught up about our strikers without thinking it through properly. It has improved since we started playing Tomlin but now he’s injured it’s going to be hard to create many chances again aside from set pieces. Hopefully Ralls can add something back into the team with his return just a shame as him Tomlin and Vaulks could have worked well together.

As for Healey if he gets a chance at Championship level for a good club he will score many goals. Comparing him to Eoin Doyle is just laughable.

Why is it laughable? Neither have done anything at this level.

I hope he proves me wrong but he’s no youngster and in my opinion would have made it by now if he was going to.

Tbh my mate and I used to make the same comparison (no pace and ability to score in lower divisions).
If he was indeed able to score in any division I’m pretty sure that a club at or above our level would have had a look at him. Every time I saw him play I saw nothing that made me think ‘Mmmm, potential”.

Fair enough. However just remember many players have not achieved much/ had their talent recognised until later in their career. Vardy was still playing non league football for Fleetwood at the age Healey is now. Pukki had already been written of as not being good enough for Celtic. Ian Wright didn’t even get a professional club until he was 22, Luca Toni’s career was a bit of a failure until he was 26 then ended going on to win a World Cup. Not everyone comes through as a teenage sensation and many that do end up as failures within a few years or end up retiring in their late 20s/early 30’s.

for every Jamie Vardy there are literally hundreds if not thousands that just found that was their level.

If your a pure goal scorer it’s not about levels it’s about finding the right club that will create opportunities for you to stick the ball home. Healey is a goal scorer he adds very little else. He will score goals at any level if provided with the opportunities. The question is wether he gets that oppertunity but if he can keep this up with a struggling MK Dons side till the end of the season then he should get an oppertinuity at a champ club next year perhaps.

I'm sure Warnock brought him on one game at home last season for no reason other than he has quite a long throw :o :o

no mate Carl Dale is a good xample of someone who was absolutely fantastic for us , but that was his level..
can not believe ..anyone.. thinks its not about levels of ability..which suggests clubs waste bucket fulls of money on world class players when they pop down here and get free transfers from our under 23s who would be equally effective..
maybe he will climb the divisions but he would be the exception..
