No way, he is absolute garbage.
Well, he is according to a bloke in the row behind me at the Eco Stadium.

Up against Michael Cheek and Nathan Lowe - who only played half a season in league two. I think Mols might win it

And would probably deserve it, the lads work rate, energy and commitment is simply brilliant, despite being double marked game after game he carries the main threat for us and his goal return for a winger is right up there.

He also takes a lot of big hits, just gets up and on with it - seemingly never injured either and is fully committed to our club.

Yes, he could and maybe should have even more goals but for heavens sake if his conversion rate was even 50% better he would have been plying his trade in the Championship or even Premier for the last 5 years - I reckon he's a better all round player than Lewis Keane Potter who Grant worked with at Hull in Lge 1 whose now at Brentford.

Well done Luke, now go and end the season with a flourish and keep believing.

Hang on, do you genuinely believe that Luke Molyneux (has never played higher than League Two) is a better player than Keane Lewis-Potter (started all but 2 of Brentford’s Premier League games this season)?

great player but would be even better if he doesnt insist time after time to go for the hollywood shot when rob street is unmarked at the back post?

I had a gang of three idiots near me who constantly slagged Moly off at the Morecambe away game hound.
I really could not believe it.

He's gone up a level and I’d be surprised if someone doesn’t make a good bid ..

Street is great at throwing  his arms up in exasperation, after Gibson or Molyneux  have chosen to shoot when he's  perceives he was unmarked for a far post tap in. The reality is that in the split second it takes to make a decision, Street wasn't  available  but he's arrived in the space 2 seconds after the ball  has gone out making it look like he was an option.
He's got to make that gamble earlier

Cant get over the amount of people that claim Luke was going for the hollywood shot, trying to do it all on his own.

Not that long ago people complained that we didnt shoot enough and that we tried too many passes when they had a chance to hit 1.

Cannot win either way

We’d be mid table without him. Hope he gets it and I’m glad we signed him up longer so we get a pay day if he leaves. Don’t think he’ll be going anywhere through

He's desperate to win games for us. We could do with more trying to do the same. At least he's trying to take games by the scruff of the neck and not let them just drift by.

And its these type of people that shout criticisim at every opportunity that will force our best players to not renew their contracts when due. Instead leave on a free knowing that they will easily pick up another club

It’s what strikers do Jon.

He is immense at this level, but I’m not sure he’s been in form for a few weeks, certainly not firing on all cylinders, which is frightening to think what he would achieve if he was really in form!

4 off his goals/assists target of 30.

With his reputation and skill he’s doubled marked all game but today he got his first hatrick in league football.

His work off the ball is as important as the goals.

Been mentioned elsewhere but after his 3rd he was back defending to help the team keep a clean sheet, a real team player and also a real team display.

Totally agree his work rate for the team is tremendous, just so pleased for him for his total performance today.

He’s stated that he wants to be like Copps, regarded as a legend for Doncaster Rovers when he signed a 3 year deal before the season began.

Keep going Mols….it’s not an impossible dream.

I hope he does do the same as Copps, and also drag us back to the Championship again, if only for one swing at it.

Hopefully not but you’ve got to feel a decent bid or two is going to arrive this summer.
