EcclesallOwl Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Even though I already loved you, I'm sorry I ever doubted your footballing ability.. a few goals is all I needed to gain a little perspective. P.S Giles Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philderbyshireowl Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I no it was only sheffield fc but when i saw him against them he was awesome. i said all along don't get rid. i read all the threads about how he wasn't going to be good enough but i think he will.he only just signed last season so hes had 1 season to settle now he's ready. mark my words he is ready. Uto. can't wait till Saturday x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s29wfc Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I also need to eat a little humble pie regarding COG, He was different class tonight. With a first touch and hold up play like that and coupled with a few goals which i expect him to get now under DJ`s style, He will be fine in the championship. Well done Chris O`Grady, Top bloke also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcclesallOwl Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sorry, still proved you wrong though Yeah, you were right. I don't base my opinion on a player round who I try to get one over on, on Owlstalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniper1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 COG was superb tonight against Oldham of League One. Lets not get too excited. We still need 2 more strikers a Centre midfielder, a centre back and a left winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror8 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Big of you, Ecclesall. I was a doubter, and will remain one, until I see it replicated on a more regular basis and against better opposition. But tonight proves that he deserves his chance, and even if he doesn't become a goalscorer for us, he is a useful player to have at our disposal. Strikes me as a worker so I hope Jones is getting him to look at his weaknesses. Couple went across the face and he was on his heels. If he could learn when to gamble and add that to his game - well, different proposition altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wasnt sure about him this season but the lads had a good pre season and now two goals tonight, he definately deserves his chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than happy to see him stay now and fight for a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nile Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) We now have a plan b, that works. I really hope he stays, a serious weapon this season. Edited August 13, 2012 by nile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We obviously need at least one more striker, but I think O'Grady has a part to play this season. Not sure why sections of our support suddenly think The Championship as a division is above players in O'Grady's mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't apologise COG because I've never slagged you off or doubted you. Harewood isn't fit to clean your boots. He's good enough for Barnsley though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've pretty much shared your views on COG and Coke. Goals won't come as easy in the Champiosnhip. Tonight's reminded me of the Scunny double. I want to see him score a few under a bit more pressure and with a bit less space, and I'll start to become a convert and think he's a Championship solution.

ReadingOwl Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I like O'Grady. Always have. He has everything other than getting on the score sheet regularly enough. But yes, a players player, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Fair play OP. I doubted his goals and I still think he will be hit and miss, but a player as strong as COG will be vital as we try and adapt to this league. Someone to put themselves about and take the pressure off us. Were going to need goals though if we keep defending like we did tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foreverSWFC Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Harewood or COG? Can't even believe that debate took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamgulasch Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 great strikers arent the ones who score 3 against an already defeated side, its the ones who will get you the all important goal in a vital game/ score a gamechanging goal. I think by now COG has proved he should at least be given a chance at cc level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror8 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Harewood or COG? Can't even believe that debate took place. One thing being proved, COG deserving a chance, doesn't necessarily disprove that Harewood would have contributed. Binary opposition doesn't really apply to football. COG has put in performances similar tonight, a few times in the past, wait until it's done a few more times before you crow and claim to have been vindicated.

Owl In Black Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Always had faith. Backed him all the way. All i said he needed was a couple of goals. Which he now has, looks hungry, and hes got some speed on him. Chriiissyyy o'grady - does any 1 know the full lyrics???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COG looked he was out to prove a point tonigh, and he was immense. Still needs to prove himself in the Championship and i still don't think he will be good enough to start for us next season, although he now deserves a starting place against Derby.
