I wouldn't bother with Stead or Mackail-Smith. Both mid 30s and don't score enough goals.
In any case didn't we sign two forwards in the window? They seem to have played about 15 mins between them in 3 months.
Age is just a number, ask Dannie Bulman 😜
If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

bit chicken and egg really. They don't score enough but they are playing in sides that don't create a huge number of chances. To be fair their career records suggest they are either better than where they are now or they have totally gone. Looking at CMS on MOnday I would certainly say that he hasn't lost his legs
Okay, fair enough but... simply based on what was on offer in Mondays match, i know who i would prefer - between Ollie & CMS - to be leading our attack...!,

It took me a while to remember who they were! Neither have made any impact. Maybe if Palmer trods off to Southend and Poleon moves on they’ll get more chances next season.
I would happily have CMS here, even just for one season. Would be refreshing change to have him over sulking Palmer and Poleon. He probably won’t score 15-20 goals, but he’d put a shift in and his experience would be valuable. I think players with good attitude rub off on the others and vice versa with bad attitude.
His numbers aren't great, but then Ollie's weren't exactly spectacular before he got here.
Also have to bear in mind he's playing in a dreadful Notts County team. Who knows how many he'd score in this dreadful Crawley team?
Well he was playing for a top of the table club last season and only managed 8 league goals (needless to say 3 were against us).
So I don't think that argument stacks up really.
You say only 8 goals,i wish we had a 2nd striker(cos that's what he is really)who scored only 8,how many did our 2nd striker(Poleon)get for us.No i wouldn't dismiss him at all,especially after Monday's performance.Of course i'd rather have Aguero.
Stead, CMS & Enzio too... It all Just deepens the mystery of "whatever happened to Notts County this season"...?
Indeed it does......it's not like their owner was shy of putting his hand in his pocket.(no puns about the twitter pic please!). They had a very large squad as well for this league,suggests something is rotten at the club.
And CMS has still scored more than Poleon, RGC, Meite and German put together! I don’t think we should sniff at him. P.s I remember the days when had a 40 goal a season striker whose name rhymes with pubs!

In those days we got the ball to our forwards so they could score goals not like now when they have to go looking for it in our own half. happy memories.
