Josh Gordon excelled last season. However, hugely helped, in my opinion, by Ben Whitfield. I don't think many clubs will be in a race to sign Gordon. And I certainly don't think many will be raving about him due to his past goal scoring endeavours - noted by yourself - and by myself, in the past on here. If we've noticed his past record I'm sure EFL Managers will have! No great loss, if he leaves.saltcellar wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 10:52 pm People on here amaze me.
They are quick to knock or rubbish any player we sign who has not scored 20 goals in a season.
All 24 clubs in league 2 would like that player but only 3 got one last season.
Then people are raving about Josh Gordon.
Ok he scored 15 goals from 37 appearances last season.
In his first season with Barrow he only scored 6 goals from 1 fewer game.
In his 3 seasons at Walsall he scored 7 from 37, 9 from 35 and 5 from 36.
Not prolific is it.
Getting a consistent goalscorer in league 2 is not easy.
Any club that does will find those players mostly moving up a division as every club in the EFL wants them.
Let's just hope we can find a gem from somewhere.

Now you're talking, but I fear he'll be courted further up the food chain.

Gordon turned down an unbelievable offer from Barrow ! so guess it`s bye bye .Hadrian wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 2:10 pm A young lad from the leagues below trying to make his mark might be a good find but wouldn't be a proven scorer at League 2 level.
By contrast, Josh Gordon's performances have proven his value to us, not just in terms of his goals tally. He would be a great loss.
As for Garner, let's see what comes after a pre-season with the Barrow squad as part of the manager's plans for the team.
Already had clubs In Championship, League One and SPL showing interestMisterPleasant wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 4:18 pmNow you're talking, but I fear he'll be courted further up the food chain.
As long as we get some equally as good in their place.
