See dave kitson scored last night for Reading is he another example of a player who can do well in championship but not top flight, I am trying to think of others but none come to mind, maybe kevin phillips or akenbeye

Didn't Kitson score quite a few for Reading in the Prem? And Phillips definitely scored shedloads for Sunderland in the Prem.

But apart from that...

Most of the big, powerful, black centre forwards that seem to be the driving force behind many a promotion chasing 'Championship' team, like Marlon Harewood, Ade Akinbiyi, and er, Jan-Aage Fjortoft.

To be fair, in his first season in the Premiership Kevin Phillips won the European golden boot scoring just your 30 league goals so that possibly isn't the greatest example :laugh:
