Seeing posts about him being a "terrible player" and similar on the transfer thread about Jonson Clarke Harris, but come the end of next season I doubt we will have a striker who has scored more goals than either of these 2 You joking? If Healy stays and stays fit he will score more than them two combined Huge IF there for a player who has only played more than 30 games in 2 of the last 14 seasons. For context injury prone Danny Ward has played more than 30 games in 5 of the last 14 seasons.

a strikeforce of Healey, Bojan, Ward, Cole, Koroma would be the strongest by someway in L1, If Danny Ward was fully fit for the season he would get double figures in L1 When was Danny Ward was fully fit for a season?

Add to that Healey who struggles to stay fit, koroma who isn’t a striker and seems to go into his shell if he starts the game bad, it’s not a great attacking lineup. Then we get half way through the season and the excuses come out saying if our strikers were fit we would be near the top.

Then we get half way through the season and the excuses come out saying if our strikers were fit we would be near the top. it seems that we went out of our way to sign injury prone players, it would seem, because we got them cheap and hoped that they would somehow get over their injuries. Relegation has been something we have been working towards for quite some time, before the new owners team took over the steering wheel and kept us on the same heading and just pressed the accelerator.

Genuine question, cause I'm not overly knowledgeable of League One currently. All I've read about Cole seems to be that he's a terrible player. Healey could be great, if kept fit but that remains to be seen Ward is okay, I wouldn't say he's great. Plus he is constantly injured Koroma, besides being unplayable for a small period of time has largely been ineffective, and off the back of a below average season. 23/24 version of Koroma wouldn't have made any other team. Bojan remains an unknown. Is he going to physically handle League One? Is Duff going to play him, or will he be a perennial bench player? Will he even want to stay at Town based on the last 5 months here?

He’s also been a part of the rot at the club and should be one of the ones cleared out with Ward imo if we want to instil a winning mentality. Not good enough

Not good enough I’m not sure on whether I want him to stay or not but I will say koroma is one of the few attackers we’ve had in recent years with a bit of composure to pick his spot. The lack of a 15 goal a season striker has made him look worse because a winger who’s in and out of the squad scoring 6 is fairly good.

If he's available on a free, I could see why it might be attractive, especially given Duff's familiarity with him. May or may not happen, but it wouldn't be the worst thing - 4 central strikers, Bojan, Healey, Harrrat and Cole? Not a bad lot to pick from.

How on earth could a player who has scored 18 goals in this league this season be a terrible signing when we have the likes of Hudlin, Simpson and Ward scoring the sum total of naff all a season. Healey 100% has 20+ goals in him in this league, imagine that being complimented by a striker capable of scoring the same.

With duff wanting good people around there’s surely no way he stays.

Was speaking with a Barnsley season ticket holder this morning and he was slating Cole (unprompted). Said he cost them last season, and Cosgrove should have been selected above him all season. Says only got where he has in the game because of who his dad is. Lazy, not very strong, doesn't score except tap-ins and penalties.
Fully expect Town to sign him now! 😂

Both rely on fitness. Hudlin and Simpson have been on loan this season at League One level. 45 league appearances (mostly as substitutes) and 3 goals between them. Simpson has more basic attributes to him than Hudlin, but neither is good enough unfortunately.

The guy is a bit of a bad egg, not the kind of personality we need, and he doesn't have it in him to cut it in the championship.

Clearly been raised to think it was acceptable. Gambling? He was 18.... If we can rehabilitate him we should.

You say we should rehabilitate him, he's not a wounded horse, and he's not a child. I'm sure he's taken accountability for his actions, but does that mean he's a good enough footballer for us?

Maybe it was how he got into it. Anyway, he's still only 21 now. I'd hate for my career path to have been dictated for what I got up to between the ages of 18 and 21. Most of us probably would.

That's a fair point really. At 21 I couldn't have been more different to how I am now at 34. Go on then, give him another season on me 😉

I think many folk on here would be up in arms if we re-signed Jordan Rhodes, yet he scored 15 goals in the same division as Cole, in half the time.

The thing is we need to be signing players that could play in the Championship making the step up or its gonna be another rebuild if we go up. I think both Duff and cartwright also alluded to this.

I agree, just mentioned this on the Williams thread. It really did sound like were going for it. Duff said more than once, we WILL be the biggest team in the league.

Cole sounds exactly like the sort of player we are now wanting to get rid of. Apparently downed tools half way through the season and his goal record is shocking in the second half of the season. Lazy, heart the size of a pea and thinks he's better than he is. A big no from me.

I'm not a fan of signing Cole, but surely that shows he has good anticipation! He'd have to score a lot of tap-ins because he'd get bugger all penalties 🤣 Town signing somebody for their ability to score penalties is about as pointless as Darren Moore signing a player for their ability to pass a ball forwards. Theoretically useful in a footballer but never a skill that's going to be of use at that club.
