It's weird to think that by the end of this season Krishna could well be our all-time top goal scorer... His goal tally took me by surprise!
70 games and 27 goals, actually not as good as you would think. He played a lot of games early on with no result. Hence I chose Burns instead because he scored from the word go. Smeltz and Ifill have to be shoe-ins.
You can argue that Burns was even greater than Ifill and Smeltz looking at how his play transformed our team from one that couldn't win away, to one that topped the table briefly. Our best run of results was with him leading our attack.
Ifill and Smeltz are both big game players though. Nothing like seeing an Ifill limp start and just knowing he was about to do something amazing...
harsh on Marco, Kosta and Krishna as they fall between stools to a degree, but not in the top 3 forwards we have had at the club in my opinion.
Brockie for me misses out as he had some barren periods, missed sitters and often seemed at his best when we were down, not when we were on the front foot. Also because I couldn't drink so much during that period! Scored fantastic goals and had a brilliant season, but for whatever reason couldn't mesh in a team on the way up.
