Top scorer

[Bronson]

One for the stattos - 

Believe Jordan White has scored 14 goals this season, I just wondered if anyone knew who our top scorers have been in recent seasons and how long it's been since someone scored more than 14?

How he's managed 14 goals, I will never know...

2013-14 season: Billy McKay with 18 league goals, 3 Scottish cup goals, not sure about League Cup 

Before that it would be Adam Rooney

to answer the Billy question ... it was 18-3 and 1 league cup goal.

Talking of some of our ex players like Mckay and Rooney, I notice another, Scott Boden, now playing for Chesterfield, has scored 20 goals so far this season (2018/19), including 12 in the past 3 months.  Wonder if he'd like another stint up north??

Because he's a competent and capable forward who has improved as the season has progressed.

Stewart, Wyness, Rooney and Mckay all leading scorer for three seasons - you can kind of divide up those into eras of the club tbh.

Interesting that in our most successful season our leading goalscorer only just made double figures and left the club in January!

In the disastrous relegation season of 2016/17 if we'd actually started our leading scorer when he was fit we probably wouldn't have been relegated.

Five goals for a leading scorer was ridiculous in 2008/09

Was referring to the amount (of which I've lost count a while back) of times he's either pure skied it or dragged it wide...I understand that in the past however long he's slowly started to take control of the ball rather than blasting it at the first given opportunity.

[Satan]

What is our tally for leading league goals scored this year?

(Letting Oakley go seems like an even bigger mistake now.)

Interestingly from 2014/15 and the following 3 seasons Draper and Vigurs were our most booked players - twice each...funny that.

7 goals by Jordan White in the league, 7 in the cup.

Strikers need providers and yet again it is Liam Polworth who heads the list by some margin with 11 in the league so far.  Probably in the top 2 or 3 in the division I would guess.

He's tied for second in the division with Joshua Mullin.  Fraser Aird has 13 assists.

Tom Walsh has seven assists.

[Satan]

Unfortunately for us Josh Mullin scores as well as creates goals.

[ictchris]

In 2017/18 Liam Polworth scored 3 goals and had 18 assists.

In 2018/19 Liam Polworth has scored 2 goals and had 11 assists.

Last season and this we scored a total of 95 goals, meaning Liam Polworth has either scored or assisted roughly every third goal we've scored in that time.

Still the second best player ever to come through our development system. Glad to see and hear that the appalling and unwarranted abuse he was subject to earlier in the season from some quarters has lessened.

We are fortunate to have him.

personally i would put him third, unless another name is escaping me but i would definitely put Graeme Shinnie and Ryan Christie ahead of him. For now though, Polworth is a cruicially important player for us and i can't help thinking that he has signed a pre contract with St Johnstone and the club just haven't announced it yet, if he was staying it would probably have been announced already that he had signed a new deal.

Eddie Ofere appeared for a very brief time and turned in a few important goals after Billy that year.

If we get to the Scottish Cup final, I wonder if we can parachute in a huge name out-of-contract for a star performance and winning goal in the cup final.

Oooh who to get?! 

Answers on a postcard ...

Some names to whet the appetite ...

It has to be Bobby Mann.

Not quite sure Graeme was always ours. Did we not pinch him from someone else at an early age?

He was never at Aberdeen before us. He played for Kincroth or some other Aberdeen boys club before he signed for us at the age of 17 (maybe 18).
