Thanks guys, so, Rene could, barely conceivably, beat the record.

Matt.

Only League & FA Cup goals. No League cup no JPT goals in those days !

40 by Sammy Collins again I believe. Not sure if that is league only or all competitions.

Stefano etc, what's our record for goals in a season? I'm sure Rene won't beat it, but might be interesting to see how close he gets.

Matt.

I've no doubt he'll get another chance to beat the record later (if not sooner) in the season. A lot more goals in him yet..

Shame he didn't break it last night, bet he was gutted. So nearly too if he'd managed to get a touch on one of Craig's corners in the second half!

He's our best footballer, has the best football brain, has the best touch, is our only goal threat, is good in the air and is an excellent finisher. He's the best striker in the division and we are massively lucky to have him.

hes *probably the best keeper at the club too! wonder if they have tried him.............. 8/ =D

Indeed - one hopes the board pull out all the stops to offer him what he wants in order that we can keep him!!

This season has been a one man attacking show for us as the rest of them have done piss all so congratulations and a massive thanks go to Rene for lifting us out of the brown stuff. Any one care to deduct his goals and see how many points we would have then? It wouldn't be pretty reading. WELL DONE RENE!!

gives me the shivers just thinking about it.......

I wouldn't hold your breath, rene will want more money there isn't anymore in the budget, so as soon as he gets a better offer he will be off. He can talk to other clubs from January and leave on a free. He scores goals but is quite disruptive but I'm sure someone will take a punt.

Lets hope Ling sees it as his priority to sort the big man out with a new deal. None of this low release fee crap either!

I did a "what if X club didn't have X player" thread 18 months ago or so and it got repeated on just about every board in L2 with everyone making the same comment (it seems an inability to understand simple concepts is a universal internet constant): "Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because we DO have [player X] to the post is irrelevant. Torquay are obviously jealous of us." Missing the point, entirely, that it's merely a 'what if' scenario.

Nice to see that Rene has become the 20+ goal a season man that we have been asking for since Sillsy left, long may it continue.

Matt.

We're the only team to not lose at home and Gillingham are the only team who haven't lost away yet, one set of fans will be unhappy after the match. Would be happy with a draw though
