Sam Nombe is the best striker we've had since?

Not sure about the accuracy of the stats I've just seen but they have Cureton as our last player to hit 20+ league goals in a season during 2012-13. Happy to be corrected but if so what are the odds that Sam will become the latest by getting to 20 this season?

I did put a pound on at 100/1 for Sam to be the top scorer in L1 this season. He's currently two behind Aaron Collins and Clarke-Harris. He definitely should start every game...

We've been lucky to have some outstanding attacking players over the last 10 or 15 years. Curo was the best pure goalscorer we've had since Dazza but Jayden wasn't far behind. However, I agree with the opening post that very few have had the all-round skills of Sam. He can score from distance as we saw against Rovers and he can also score classic poachers goals like Northampton away at the end of the last season. However, he has also pace and power and can link up play brilliantly - I can't think of too many City players over the years who could set up a goal the way Sam did away at Swindon last season.
