Tom scores on 79mins for Milwall v Coventry. 6 goals in his last 8 appearances. I wonder what’s going on there |

Could get 30 a season and not get called up.

Could get 30 a season and not get called up. There will come a point where realistically he would have to be called up. You never know with Page though, it wouldn’t surprise me if Bradshaw did end the season with 20 odd goals at Championship level and Page did still ignore him because his age doesn’t fit the profile or whatever. What I’m interested in is what has caused this run of goals. He’s gone from freezing cold to shit hot overnight. Like Millwall have accidentally found the way to make him an effective striker. |

That’s the problem though, he usually goes back to freezing cold again pretty quickly. Then we forget about him until he had a short run of goals again. I still think he’s worth a look again though but iI wouldn’t get too excited |

He's on a streak at the moment, if he maintains it through to the March playoffs he'll definitely have made a strong case for inclusion. I suspect, however, he'll drop off in the next couple of weeks and go on a dry spell for a month or two |

I suspect, however, he'll drop off in the next couple of weeks and go on a dry spell for a month or two I see where you’re both coming from but for me it’s about the statistical context: he only scored 4 all last season, 10 the season before where his best run was 8 in 14, so 7 in 9 is a significant step up, which is why I’m wondering if something has become fundamentally different at Millwall and it’s unlocked his potential as a striker. It’s still early to clamour for call ups, but it’s certainly interesting how his goal to game ratio has exploded from a hum drum season to suddenly be the best it’s been, at least for a good long while. |

His movement is class, he's hard working and has a decent finish.
He'd have better service playing for Wales, deserves more caps over the years imo.

His sporadic runs of form are actually quite similar to Ramsey at Arsenal.

I'm sure he'd have a couple of goals if he'd been given the opportunities Simon Church had or Tyler Roberts

I think Bradshaw would have had more caps by now if Kieffer hadn’t appeared from nowhere (and Church would have had loads less if Keiffer had been around in those days)

I just think calls for him to be involved have been more of a statement about our lack of options than his ability Back in the day I was calling for his inclusion over Church etc.. But I can't see how he could be involved now unless he started to look like a top Championship striker |

It's strange isn't it, even in the dark days under Gould and when Toshack was losing the plot a bit we always seemed to have Premier League strikers to choose from, now we're looking into the second and third tier at players. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's clearly worked with Kieffer to such an extent that he's got a very good International record and has proved to be a real handful. It's just strange how things work, we had some fantastic talent up front in the 80's, 90's and 00's and we did nothing.

Tidy finish. Shame he got injured when he did as he was in his most consistent form in years but seems to have picked up where he left off now he’s back, sadly at the end of the season. Hopefully next season he can really announce himself as an option.

Just saw the goals on Sky, great hat trick fair play.
Scored last week as well.
Unfortunately, history suggests he goes quiet again after having a little run of goals. Shame that he can’t be more consistent as we could always do with a goal scorer.

Just had a look at his scoring record throughout his career,it works out at about 1 goal every 5 games.
Not great for a striker I admit but, as I said, most of his goals have come in little runs so it’s a shame he can’t put together a consistent goal scoring streak.

His last run was statistically his best in terms of PPG by a reasonable amount (iirc) suggesting that he had perhaps turned a corner…yet it was ended by an injury that ruled him out from January til near the end of the season, that was probably the tipping point for his career- if he hadn’t got injured and kept the run going he could have got a transfer and been a real contender. As it is I’m surprised he’s still at Millwall and they haven’t binned him off. Feels like a proper sliding doors moment in his career.
I can’t imagine how many goals he would have to score now to win another Wales cap.

Yeah, as insertname says above, that was a really unlucky moment in his career as he looked to be on a good streak |

Just watched the goal, I’ve always though when I’ve seen his goals that he has a natural goalscoring ability. You see other strikers who hit and hope or snatch at chances or otherwise have an “uncultured” finish but with him it’s usually deft and well placed. I’m not sure there is another Welsh striker out there currently who has that ability…but then saying that when I think about it there really aren’t that many Welsh strikers out there worth talking about at the moment full stop. Harris doesn’t score many goals at all, after him you’ve got…Mullin I guess. I’m also talking specifically about penalty box strikers so excluding Johnson who is more of a wing forward to my mind.
Actually saying that I guess an honorable mention should go to Aaron Collins, my mate was raving about him and reckons Bristol Rovers will struggle to keep hold of him in January. An upward move would probably bring him into the striker conversation

Fifth goal of the season for Tom, I think it's over now though, I don't see him getting another call up unless there's a plague that he avoids or he doubles his goals tally, both have as much chance of happening.
