Not advocating it just another option to consider. For an example swap Keena for someone else till season end to let him get some playing time and we get hopefully someone who can score a few goals for us.
For an example Keena for Jake Young or Danny Johnson. Could benefit all parties to season end.
Obviously a risk that incoming player won't score, but at the moment nothing to lose.
See how it goes and keep him next season. Not advocating selling him.

Just an idea to consider

I would not be shocked if we loan him to a league two side and bring in two strikers (permanent) and a younger prem loanee.

All will be revealed by Wednesday. The games are ticking away. 7 or 8 wins plus some draws from 19 not going to be easy

When he drops deep and plays magical cross field passes he reminds me of Harry Kane,but when he's in the penalty box he's more like Citizen Kane.

This isn’t a computer game so we can’t just click a swap player button. It relies on the other team, other player, and Keena himself all agreeing.

Keena is an intelligent footballer. We will need him especially if Street is crocked.

Going off topic, Streety caught someone else with his elbow yesterday didn't he.
He needs to address that.

One scenario that might interest DC is Matty Taylor at FGR. Fallen down the pecking order and DC has worked with him before

100%. Which is why that kind of deal happens so infrequently.

Keena should have been shipped out on the 1st of January.

Blame Brexit, there's a trade border in the Irish Sea. 😉

He might well be the League Two striker JP has said we're close to signing

Thought we were trying for a more physical target man type

Good spot. I guess there’s a chance FGR’s new manager will want to give Taylor a chance though.

The man that dived for a pen against us for Oxford - that Matt Taylor? Shows that he's desperate to score and will try a few unconventional things?

That has just reminded me....Lloydy has been pulled and shoved and kicked and man handled best part of season. He needs to now start to dive /fall over in the box, Don't like to see it mind, but these defenders need be taught a lesson. LLody is to honest and it is costing us.

We finished the game yesterday with 3 strikers on the pitch, 2 goals between them all season. Milton etc need to pull something out the bag, I don't perceive selling Goodwin without a plan 'good business' for the club as it stands.

If you are a well organised club behind the scenes you should have plan a b c d e f g h etc and explore any option that can possibly help. I know you love Keena and Ithink if we can get him scoring he might go on a run but it isn't happening for him for what ever reason. Feelers should be going out way before Jan 1 to see whats available just in case.
Hope you still saving the pennies!!!
