timm the owl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Its a know fact that you have more time on the ball in the championship, Cogba never had chance to show what he's got in the championship and I think he will score a far few with more time on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BoomTownOwls Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 No! I am just being realistic! He may do a job for somebody at this level..... But I always felt we wouldn't get promotion from League One with him in team so expecting him to be a revelation in the division above is just unrealistic.

mosleyowl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't agree with the theory of the further you get up the ladder the more time you have on the ball. I think it's the better players create more time for theirselves or their team, it's easy to see when someone is out of their depth in a league as they don't get much time on the ball. However I agree COG will do well, as long as he gets game time, which I don't think he will unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryPlopper Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It is a fact that some players do well the higher up the footballing ladder they play. Look at for example, Varney. Some of his performances in the Premier were top notch and although he worked his knackers off for us, no-one thought he would put some of those performances in against top notch opposition. But....some players thrive once you take the blood and guts out of the reckoning and are allowed a bit more time on the ball to show their quality. Cogba scored a right goal on the turn that I didn't have him down as being in his locker, so I for one do think he is trying to up his game and should be given a chance.

0wl4life Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 COG will do well in the championship,,,IF he's given a feckin chance,, I sorta get the feeling,he aint gonna get the chance tho,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that is testicles.....Ranger did f-all in the scheme of things. O'Grady would have done better job, Jones admitted he didn't know the league or the players when he came in, so he decided to go with someone who had played a few games at a higher level. He now understands the power of COGBA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukestheman82 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Timm, (nothing to do with COG as such) But I was total toilet in the Surrey and Hampshire leagues, doe's that mean I could improve in The Championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I don't agree with the theory of the further you get up the ladder the more time you have on the ball. I think it's the better players create more time for theirselves or their team, it's easy to see when someone is out of their depth in a league as they don't get much time...... I agree with you to a great extent here but there could be situations where you do get more time on the ball. If I could use the example of when I used to play 'pub' football: The leagues that I used to play in were brutal where you got cluttered if you spent to much time on the ball, however, some of the better teams we played in the cups would let us have the ball but would stop you from playing by keeping a good shape, marking effectively and 'filling the holes' (eg sitting a player in front of the channel). More often than not we would select the risky or long pass and lose possession. COG may see a lot more of the ball but he will have to work twice as hard to do something in this league when he is in possession.

WE'D HAVE DONE FAR BETTER WITH PUB PLAYERS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) COG did OK last year and has done well in pre-season, that is all. Who knows what tomorrow brings?..(unless you are in the ITK posse). Edited August 16, 2012 by Lawrie Maddens Hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It depends on his level of performance, I know the other night was against a league one side, but that showing was better than anything he produced in league one last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnOwl55 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 He's in the squad, so he'll get his chance. Time will tell, I suppose but I think he might even fare better than Madine, who has got a lot of proving to do yet for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
