darra Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Madine will be off if he doesn't start playing more regular and scoring which I suppose goes hand in hand, wonder what kind of fee though Not sure it'll be his decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US_Owl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 ^^^^^this^^^^^^^ COG is the best striker of his type at S6 since mark bright. Not up to Brighty's class admittedly but best we have for now. Racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 He is best player we have at holding the ball up, thats why he gets the gig. Is it enough though? With all the creativity in our midfield shouldn't we expect more from our striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah, he's never scored while he's been played as a lone striker In fact he's never looked like scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paulos_Medication Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Yeah, he's never scored while he's been played as a lone striker In fact he's never looked like scoring If you have scoring midfielders in the side then the lone striker can but just as important, back to goal, and holding the ball up bringing others in to play.

gurujuan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I agree to a point, but its a bit basic. When you have midfielders who can spot a pass as well as Bothroyd and Barkley, its a waste if you have no one running in behind. At the moment only Antonio does this and although he'll get the odd goal or two, he's hardly prolific. In short, I agree COG's the best we have for the role, but if we want to get the most from our creative players, we deffo need someone better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paulos_Medication Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Fair points gurujuan. I guess the other type of lone striker would be someone with lots of pace. Could Antonio be an option if we want an alternative to the COG, hold-up type. ? At least until we can go shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickpottsfc Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I like Chris O'Grady. For our older readers, he reminds me of several of our relatively unsung centre forwards who made important contributions to the team, e.g. John Ritchie, Alan Warboys and Andy McCulloch (you don't see these talked about so much on here during reminicising sessions). For me, he's got great ball control, especially for a big un, big heart and 100% commitment and I bet good to have around the place. Well done Chris, as far I'm concerned, for sticking with it despite some fans, and rumored top-level, criticisms. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 He's not going out on loan he's an important part of our first team and is going no were Not sure about madine tho I think he could be off. Why say haters ??? What planet are you on. Come on then, lets hear it from anyone who HATES COG. Stupid comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It's not about whether you like or hate him, but the fact is if he plays more games than he misses we will end up near the bottom........Rob staton could have had "o'Grady should score......but hasn't" on a taped loop on Saturday and saved himself a bit of talking....fortunately we won but we can't afford to have strikers like O'Grady who offer just one dimension ....we need forwards who can hold up the ball AND score......with pace AND finishing ability......too many one dimensional players is a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It is depressing that in the Championship we have O Grady as our main striker. He is no better than Deon Burton was and he was never good enough. Enough flirting Dave, get Madine back in that team, let him shove the 95 per cent idiots on this boards words up the proverbial. Also Chris Lines is going no where. Valuable squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think you will find that COG would be off if they offered us 500K. He does not igure in DJ's long term plans and is only in the team because we are playing one up front and nobody else is suited to that job!

I theres a reason alan warboys was unsung ,he was flipping gash and after racking my brain and trawling thru the memory bank i cant recall him making one contribution important or not to the side back then.......... A 20+ goal a season striker. you know of one who we can afford ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
