Our front 3 will bag 30 goals between them this season

doubt it Josh O Hanlon will be headin back in July unless his loan deal is extended?

Nope won't be extended, he is 100% determined to go back to England in June. Even if josh gets 4 or 5 goals before then it's a decent return if the rest of the team is chipping in too.

The best striker in the country Christy Fagan is the favourite at 13/2 but given his injury record and the unproven nature of the Pats squad, this is probably a poor value bet.


Where do you see the value?

The ones catching my eye are

14/1 Ciaran Kilduff
18/1 Ishmail Akinade
20/1 Ronan Finn (if he is the nominated penalty taker)
33/1 Kurtis Byrne
50/1 Padraic Cunningham

Kilduff might have a chance, he scored two v Drogs on fri night but he will have to hit the ground running this season, plus he'll be going one for one with McMillan for the lone striker role, so it will depend on the amount of games or minutes he gets, I can't see McMillan being the top of the charts, he is a decent player, but seems to be much better at setting up chances and link play than scoring regularly. Our main striker might get 12-15, my money would be on Fagan though, as long as he keeps fit and if Pats are competitive.

You'd imagine he'd just be sent back out on loan though, but maybe if he does well with Longford it'd be to a higher level than his previous loans.

Ronan Finn up to 5 league goals now. Maybe there is an outside chance of the 20/1 long-shot paying off.

If he's on penalties now that's a big help. He was excellent in the 2 games I watched him play this year

Richie Towell scored 7 penalties in his 25 league goals last season.

If Ronan Finn scores a similar number of penalties, a target of 20+ league goals is within his reach. He would probably need to be above 20 to be league top scorer.

It's a possibility, but if Christy Fagan stays fit and St Pats find some form, he should be the comfortably winner
