Back home for a week for Christmas, so me and the lad went today - much better than watching it on my laptop on iFollow! Cosgrove - 3 times, right in front of the East Stand, played to get the foul and failed to impress the referee once! He would have been better trying to win the ball. Fair enough, a few times he was getting his shirt pulled and the ref blew against him. Anyone else see it the same way I did?
Seen Cole getting abit.of stick wasn't his best game but wasn't anywhere near the worst barnsley player. Put mcatee through with a great through ball that should of ended in a goal. Pressed well, and did some great work to keep the ball in the build up to kanes goal.
Cosgrove was getting wrestled off the ball from the moment he came on. Fouls he won - 0. Fouls against him - 2. It’s as bad as when we had Keiffer Moore. The ref today just didn’t want to give him anything. And then, to cap it all, he scores, celebrates, the match ends, he has a shower, gets changed, gets in his car, pulls out of the car park and then the linesman flagged for offside!
I think the offside was the right decision in the end but **** me took him long enough to decide. Twice jalo has come off the bench to set a goal up in recent weeks just a shame that was offside.
It annoys me so much when a “big lad” comes on up front and gets penalised so much. Absolutely nothing between him and their centre back today yet Cosgrove got no decisions but their centre halves couldn’t get free kicks any quicker.
I'd have taken Cosgrove off & put Jalo on for him instead of Cole TBH. His first touch is awful & for a big lad he wins bugger all in the air.I'd send him back in January. No way is he good enough.
Yeah but imaging the moaning on here had we signed someone from Sunday league. Daft btw. He's changed games when he's come on lately, wasn't the best today but neither were most. Him, Cole & then McAtee behind them looked dangerous.
The turning point in the game was Cosgrove and Jalo coming on. Cosgrove gave their defenders something different to deal with and was fouled almost every time there was a challenge (ignored by the ref every time) - I bet his shirt is only fit for the bin after the stretching it got today.
