First three names on the sheet:
Stefan Moore
Sammy Koejoe

Stefan Moore.
The Israeli lad on loan from C****** circa 2003.
Connor Washington. Was convinced his goals in L1 would convert to Champ. |  | | |

Mike Sheron, I was at the old fakes ground when he made his debut and he scored/scuffed a goal.
From then on hardly anything at all, I wouldn't mind but even when not scoring he looked like a good footballer.
Slade and the insanely dreadful Stefan Moore were ridiculously poor. |  |

Was that Ben Sahar? I recall we signed him and Daniel Nardiello in 2007. I thought that was the strike partnership that would drive us to promotion.....  | | | |

This is just a list of shit strikers!
Did anyone realistically think any of them would get 20 goals a season?
Maybe only Sheron given his recent record and how much we paid! |  |

Macauley Bonne in recent years.
Mike Sheron.... 19 goals in 63 games is not too shabby (1 in 3) but hardly the prolific striker we envisaged and certainly not worth what we paid. |  | | |

Sammy Koejoe was f'kin gash for us; I remember Crouchie putting clever flicks on and Koejoe nowhere to be found/seen/getting near the ball. Though to be fair it wasn't always him not running into space.
Had a great career elsewhere typically. |  |

Mark Hateley. Our big money replacement for Les Ferdinand was paraded on the pitch while he was on crutches. 🤦♂️ |  | | |

Seb Polter?
NB: I thought he did a pretty good job for us. He's currently at Eintracht Braunschweig, in the Bundesliga 2. |  |

Dean Sturridge. An outstanding first ten minutes.
Tony Thorpe and Jamie Cureton underperformed by their standards. |  | | |

I never expect a striker to score 20 goals a season, although they might manage it once!
I did expect far more than they delivered though from:-
John O'Rourke
Peter Eastoe
Adam Czerkas (why I have no idea!)
Daniel Nardiello | | | |

Dris Sylla, only scored tap ins and diving headers |
Which are the areas where most goals are ordinarily scored. 17 goals in 61 games, of which 33 were as a substitute, would indicate that he wasn't dud at all.
That's a much better goals to games ratio than Lyndon Dykes. [Post edited 11 Mar 10:30]

That was Ben Sahar.
Never fulfilled that potential:

Some success in Israel but struggled to score when he played in England, France, Spain or Germany.
I remember that his mother had plenty to say on his behalf. | | | |

For some strange reason, your post reminded me of - shudder - Rob Hulse. Sigh...
28 goals in 82 games for Direby County, then he comes to QPR, and surprise surprise, he's absolute dog toffee
26 more games, on loan at Charlton and Millwall, with just three more goals, and then he hurls his boots into the cobwebbed depths of the shed. | |

Basically, after the first 12-15 months of John Spencer in the 90s, you can include everyone bar, Charlie Austin's first stint at QPR.
Honourable mentions to: Helguson, Furlong (both second time), and maybe Kevin Gallen's first spell.
Other than that, pretty much all hopeless at being regular scorers. |  |

Also Paul McGee if not already mentioned - might be a tad unfair - those were desperate times. | | | |

Helguson struggled in his first season with us and was sent out on loan to Watford for his second season:
https://uk.soccerway.com/coaches/heidar-helguson/2755/
Watford wanted to keep him and if I remember right Warnock was happy to trade but wanted Danny Graham from them as part of the deal. Watford weren't having that so Helguson returned and the rest is history.

IIRC, Cureton kept being played out wide. IMO he was a fox-in-the-box striker. I was quite excited when we bought him as he had a good record with Bristol Rovers and Reading but only scored 6 goals in 43 games for us.
Does anyone else think the same... that he was played too far wide? | | | |

I’m not sure I ever expected 20 goals but I expected a lot more than we got out of Andy Johnson. |  | | |

Ditto Bobby Zamora.
Let's put 'that' goal aside..... by and large his record was pretty poor. 12 goals in 83 games.... 1 goal in 7.
IIRC, pretty much all of the four goals (21 games) he got in the 2012/13 PL season were in losing matches so they contributed nothing in terms of points (though, TBF, crap defending is not his problem I guess).
Not good on the whole and certainly not for the huge amount of money he was paid but 'that' goal gives him immunity I guess! | | | |

And basically only ever scored against Coventry! | |
