    I agree, wouldn't be a bad call with Keiffer. Has pace. Not sure what wages we'd need to pay.

    Would be an excellent signing in league one. Would prefer him to Bradshaw as a strike partner for Moore. More pace and capable of the spectacular.

    I'm in. Can we call that a groundswell of opinion?

    Never go back - well unless you are Adam Hammill, but Armstrong never really clicked here first time round so I dont see him really fitting in a second time. I think Hedges will be pretty good for us in League 1 anyway and Isgrove if he can get fit

    I have the opposite view , Armstrong has done o.k this season in division one but Bradshaw is proven at this level , has already worked with Moore for 4 months & should no each others game , plus Bradshaw is already our player whist Armstrong would command high wages & Newcastle would want a reasonable fee

    Fair point - don't think we'll get him realistically. However, although Bradshaw has more experience in league one, Armstrong's scoring record is significantly better overall. Armstrong: 29/61 Bradshaw: 41/119.

    Don’t think Bradshaw will be with us still next season.

    We never played to Armstrongs strengths, asking him to drop deep all the time instead of using his pace in behind. A lot like Kent in that certain people will pull him down on his lack of goals but I remember both smashing the woodwork several times and had they been an inch to the left/right everyone would be all over them

    Hedges has always been our player though, so the patience we show has got to be different.

    Think Bradshaw played a lot more championship games to be fair

    That was just league one stats. Don't get me wrong, think Bradshaw will do a job for us in League One. In champ: Bradshaw = 17/79. Armstrong = 7/54. So Bradders has performed better in the champ. These are based on wiki by the way - might be more accurate stats out there.
