The spread of opinions is one of the great things about football, and it's going to be fun reading this back at Christmas when we know if Olly has pulled  rabbit out of the hat or not.
John Still the old Luton manager had a theory that if a man knows where the net is, and how to get into goalscoring positions he can probably do it at any level. Its defenders that need the brains as they climb the leagues. Lets hope he was right

Ah! John Still, he knew a thing or two, ex prem manager and European cup winner, wasn't he?

Yeah, if John Still was right abour that, every league club would be signing every Tom/male private/Harry who knocks 30 goals in for the Dog & Duck in local sunday leagues wouldn't they.

As defenders get better higher up the leagues, of course the strikers need to be better too. I get what he probably means is the actual finishing technique (shooting action) but theres far more to being able to score goals than that really.

That's not to say players can't step up. Of course some can. I just mean it doesn't automatically mean that ANY player scoring goals can do it at higher levels.

Spot on Tommy. One out of these three making the step up successfully would be a result.
