8 of Akinde's 24 goals are penalties.


Thought we were talking about Lennie, not someone else's striker.

Penalties only count towards a striker's tally when you're trying to make (or more generally ignore) a point about something or other, I suppose.

Quite. Akinde's a very good Conference striker, but not superhuman.

And seeing as penalties don't count, he's only scored 5 more goals than Tony Gray of Telford, who no-one's heard of   (get your house on him scoring next Tuesday now I've said that)

A bit sad when the bottom club in the league has a player with more goals than our top scorer.

He's probably one of the 28, 29, 307, however many it is.

Yeah, but not as sad as when he has scored more goals than all our other strikers put together as well.

Anyway, I thought we were talking about the important goals i.e. the ones in the Conference? He hasn't scored more of them than than LJL, though sadly, he has still scored more than all our other strikers combined.

Quoted from SamTheMariner


I said this after the Eastleigh game "after we lose to Bristol Rovers, all you "Lenny is Sh!te and Hurst Out" gang will be out again. You disappear and when we lose a couple of games they all come back.

Lenny adds an awful lot to the team, he's good in the air, brings others into play, holds the ball up and in October and November was the hottest striker in the league.

I agree that Hurst has no plan B, but if we get promoted, fair enough, I'd love to get promoted under Hurst but I just don't think we will.

And also are you one of the "Hannah is our saviour" because he isn't.



Sam, take a bit of time and look through some older posts on here and you'll find that I've never rated lewis, never have and never will.

I've not disappeared when we won a few, I've always stated that hurst should've gone not the Christmas just gone but the Christmas before....take a look for a thread I started last season about if we don't get promotion hurst should go

To get back to PH , whether intentionally or not he has put the Board in a very tricky position. There are some on here who would have seen him sacked at Christmas but would that have been a sensible decision by the Board seeing as we were in a play-off position and games in hand of the leading team? It would take a very brave person ( at any club and at any level of football ) to have done this knowing the consequence of things not turning out. Even now while we are still in the play-offs then it would be a foolish decision. It would have been much easier if , before Christmas , we had been about 8th or 9th and on equal games as the teams around us. We might think that , based on the past two seasons, even if we get in the play-offs then we won't get promoted but anything could happen over those three games. If we don't get promoted then I honestly think that PH will be dismissed. The interesting thing is if we do get promoted , then what? Will PH be retained to lead us on in League 2 ?
