Be starting every game for me until he leaves. Thought he did ok yesterday but can tell he’s off. Him and McAtee for me until the summer.
Thought he put more of a shift yesterday he has since pre January. Let's remember he's no world beater he had a run where everything he hit went in, we've seen enough of mr Cole in his two stints to know on the whole he's bang average.
It looked again yesterday especially our midfield that they were out on their feet after 70 minutes and teams just run through us
Couldn't disagree more. Opinions eh. I wish Macatee would pay more attention to offside. Lost count yesterday how many times he was flagged. And not by just inches. And come on Martin Devaney. 11 back at corners doesn't work. And doesn't imo relieve the pressure. As frustrating as hell.
Jalo was really poor again when he came on yesterday and now isn't the time to play Marsh who hasn't shown much for us before.
Jalo needs time and patience but at the minute he looks like a boy in a man’s game and is struggling to make a impact but hopefully next season he makes his mark.
Will never get my head around the stick Cole receives. He works hard, he's our top scorer and he has pace and the ability to beat a man. Which we desperately lack throughout the team. Will be very difficult to replace I reckon.
Footballers don’t down tools. That’s just daft fan talk. Form comes and goes. Cole is playing at the level he has for most of his career.
I thought he worked hard yesterday. So did all of them tbh. What was missing was confidence and quality on the ball.
He seems to me to be not putting the effort in for that final stretch to the ball or the jump for a header. He's running but appears to have, for months, not been putting in that little extra to challenge for anything as if he's trying to save himself a bit
The number of times yesterday he made runs off the shoulder of the defender and either never got the ball into space or it was a poor pass was unbelievable. He works hard every game as do all the players, sometimes it’s not smart enough, but the effort is there
A bloke at back of me was on at Cole all game everything he did. Went quiet when Cosgrove came on especially running ball to corner flag when it seemed like a decent break to score.
Yep I think Cole needs a rest he's abit of a scapegoat too always has been imo took over from victor adebajo, but if you rest Cole you have to play watters or Cosgrove so that's why he's still starting.
