    On oddschecker and DKD at 14/1 to be top scorer, if we keep him past the window he will score a bagfull in this team.

    £10 double returns £450

    Easy money surely if we keep DKD

    Problem is an injury or suspension to DKD or McGoldrick and the starting 11 is extremely weak

    I do worry, if he keeps scoring at this rate during the window, the offers that might come in will force the club's hand.

    A good £8m bid will sort our money worries. I'm sure Conor has a plan in place

    Same problem facing the 3 players infront of him in the odds for top goalscorer, could get injured at anypoint.
    It's been a fantastic start, we're by no means the finished article and I'm sure we'll do more business yet, but all that said as an opposing defender would you want to be facing DKD, McGoldrick, Phillips, Vickers then Kelly and Cleary off he bench?
    I can't see many teams in the league with that amount threat in the final 3rd, I'm trying to find the team that's outscored us in the league, that's right nobody and all from open play.

    And that's all great and we'll survive because of our attacking strength. Unfortunately we still have pretty much last seasons defence, which was not far off relegation form.

    Early days but beating Plymouth was a big statement and Burton I don't think are a easy side to.beat very direct. It's just the defence that's a worry and squad depth.

    I think we'll more than survive mate, there's also 3 weeks left of the window to bring in a CB

    If it means having a smaller squad and retaining the likes of DKD, Phillips, Connell because we're spending less on wages then I'd rather that.
    They'll be 1 or 2 more to come in I'm sure before the window ends

    We're playing a different system which will hopefully help us defensively. Just need to stop the individual errors I noticed o keffe conceded a pen for stockport yesterday

    Would be tempting if we knew he was staying, but you're basically taking a treble - top 6, DKD top scorer and us not selling him. I wouldn't fancy it on that basis. Especially given that if he stays in form it makes it more likely someone comes in for him.

    I'm not sure other than the relegated PL teams who's got the 5m required, Wrexham are stacked in that position, I think he's out of the price range of most mid table championship teams.
    The most viable one to happen is Midfielder Hayden Hackney to Everton, Middlesbrough then strengthening up top with DKD
