    Unless something crazy happens tomorrow, then yes, he would be the joint winner with Charles-Cook.

    Overhead kick was a beauty and came out of nowhere haha. Wrestled free from the defender and connected with the ball as sweet as could be hit.

    Slated him after his penalty miss against Livi earlier in the season, what a turn around. What a player.

    that first goal was phenomenal, would have been nice to get the hat trick and be the out and out top league goalscorer.

    We would be winning the treble if he never got injured

    His first two games or so he tried about 3/4 of them, good to see him get it end of the season :56:

    The weird thing is that was probably one of the hardest ones to pull off given the defender was wrestling him lol

    He's a natural goalscorer that's in the right positions all the time.

    Not that he's settled in he looks like scoring every game.

    Bruce Anderson and Lewis Ferguson both on 11. I can see Livingston putting a few past Dundee

    His second was better, his 2 dummies where he faked going for it with his knee, then faked trapping the ball to totally confuse their keeper before slotting it away was pure genius!

    Mental how far he's come since that Livingston game.

    Missed a penalty than a sitter to win it, and done nothing of note for the game in general. Thought he was a dud, and I think he got injured again shortly after?

    Looking back, he was clearly still far from match fitness. Having both him and Kyogo at full match fitness starting next seaosn is going to make a world of difference.

    There was a time in the season when anyone playing as our central striker other then Kyogo was unthinkable. Giakoumakis is now serious competition for Kyogo to the point where he may well be chosen ahead of him for European games when a big physical striker who can hold the ball up is always favoured. Both have been first class signings, Ange working his magic again.

    What a * player, had a tough start to his career here but overcame it and finished the season so strong.

    He is * lethal in front of goal. Canny wait for a full pre season under his belt.

    Aye, still cant believe we got the Dutch leagues top scorer for £2.5 million, that is normally unheard of. Puzzles me that there weren't more clubs competing for his signature, a striker with his physicality who can score a barrel load of goals is normally in very high demand and commands a large transfer fee. Although im certainly not complaining their loss is our gain.

    What a lad, absolutely love him! Seems to be humble yet passionate too. Could see on his face how much he's enjoying it here and why wouldn't he the fans were fantastic today.

    Perfect storm I think, he wasn’t Greeces main striker, his team got relegated and it just went under the radar.

    * steal.
