Good in the air, links play well, possesses a good shot and awkward to disposes off the ball. Once fit, could he be the answer to our Striking options?

I've said this numerous times. Played in the striker role against Rochdale last season in the JPT - very strong in front of goal and useful in the air. Definitely an option when fit

The best goals to chances ratio at the club I would guess. Don't know if he could do it up top though. I hope he gets back fully fit because he did well for an inexperienced kid.

As good as any, I think. It's so disappointing that this kind of thing is being debated before the season even starts, it's the sort of thing that should only rear it's head in - say - February, during an injury crisis.

And I reckon Evo looks sharp when he went up top last season, so there is another option

Wonder if someone at Rotherham said last year at this time 'I reckon we could see a lot of goals from Kieron (Agard) this season'. 'Oh, I see' says Mr MadMiller sceptic type 'so you're telling me a guy who only scored 6 goals in 33 appearances last season will score over 20 goals this next season? Leave it out'

He finished with 26 in all competitions.

Or a Scott Hogan, never played League Football- scores 17 league goals in 29 starts (+4 as sub) for Rochdale.

At least they are genuine strikers. Not a CM being thrown up top. Bad goals to game ratio/inexperienced or not.
FWIW I agree that OB could do a job but again it should have never come to this.

:rolleyes: Well used in that role,of in the hole,supporting the striker last season.Had a decent return to begin with then dried up a bit then of course came the injury.It'll be good to have such a player back in the squad and give the manager options and hopefully a selection headache. :wacko:
Many a good tune

Neither is in fact. Both regarded as winger/strikers by their club's websites.

Per Hogan himself: Scott describes himself as a versatile player, saying he is comfortable playing in a number of positions.
He said he enjoys the challenge of taking people on and running at defenders and thinks he has a good all round game.
"I played all over the place at Rochdale last year; I played out wide, I played as a number 10, I played up front on my own, I played up front as part of a two and a three," said Scott.

Wasn't it Armand up front and Banks in the hole behind him?

I feel Gardner could be the short term answer. Strong quick and direct. With a full pre season his assets could be effective up top for us

I agree. Gardner is more of a CF than Banks. Ollie best dropping off. I'd like to see Dan have a go up top.

No he didn't he played as part of a three behind the main striker, the fact he is good enough to link up play behind the striker shows how good he is as an attacking option.

He is a good player no doubt but if he played striker and didnt get 20 goals he would get slated

Sorry to say that I'm getting more depressed by the minute every day we don't sign a proven striker.We have a great squad of players but we till need that fire power up front,I wish Doyle and Nanndo all the best, but we need a decent striker to partner them. I've missed the Shrews. and Imps games because I couldn't be bothered,(that coming from me is serious because I hardly ever miss any game), and I haven't bought tickets for Leeds,Villa or Hudders., I'm so down hearted with the statement from DA and CT.I don't know what this pair are hoping for as an average gate, but with the away followings, we will easily surpass 7000. Come on if we don't sign any one else, at least let PC sign us a goalscoring striker.
