Stuck a fiver on Bowman at 33-1 for league top scorer. Very favourable odds and no doubt in my mind that (barring injury) he will score goals for us this year. Great signing and a great age.

Voted for Bowman, only seen him v Walsall looked very good, scored a cracking goal that day, only if we'd had this lad last season, have a feeling we might still be in the league.

if it's Briscoe, I'll have to remortgage...pledged £ 5 each home goal !!!

Which joker voted Karl Hawley!?

Not impossible for it to be Hawley. He has I believe the best league goal scoring record of any player on our books. The conference has a habit of regenerating ageing forwards.

4 of the above are on the transfer list......

Even more surprising is that neither of last season' s top scorers (Chapell aside) are even an option!

And which two people on this god forsaken earth voted for Benyon?

Elliott and his mum!

Almost certainly.

Has to be Bowman, barring injury or alien abduction.

No votes for Yeoman surprises me. My guess is he is above Benyon, Hawley and O@Achie in the pecking order.

I voted for Bowman as he is likely to be our lead striker this year. I reckon he'll get somewhere in the region of 15 goals, and at present I can't see anyone else in our squad matching that.

I think Yeoman or Benyon are naturally better goal scorers, but it's hard to justify a case for either being top scorer. Ash has potential (which seems to have been the case for the last three/four seasons!) but has not shown it on a regular basis. Elliot hasn't been anywhere near form since he left us in 2011.

I reckon if Elliot starts well, a couple of goals in the first few games, then his confidence will rocket and he will be a good player for this league, and will potentially get 15+ goals. If he plays like last season, he'll be lucky to get 5.

2 votes for Benyon, 1 for Hawley. Don't ever say TUFC fans don't have a sense of humour.

Obvious choice, Bowman.
