    Honestly don’t get it. Maybe (definitely) I’m biased towards us and our players but I don’t get why Cosgrove gets literally no decisions. He got wiped out in a good position yesterday and the ref didn’t give us a decision, just stopped play because he didn’t get up. Yet when he gives it back, the refs can’t wait to give the defenders the decision quick enough.

    He probably does look for fouls a bit more than he should do but when he’s constantly getting pushed/shoved and elbowed by centre halves, he’s going to end up on the deck.

    Pines is a big lad but caught an elbow in the face yesterday and went down.

    I thought Jalo did really well when he came on yesterday. Looked every bit a winger or wide striker in a front 3.

    I can’t criticise Cosgrove any more than anyone else for his performance, or any of the strikers for that matter. The midfield was so lacking, other than that early shot from Earl, they created nothing.

    Thats issue though he's never ever been prolific. Should have tried to keep Devante but half of fan base despised him and even if I were him myself I'd have left due to dogs abuse

    The only bright light yesterday. Looked positive from the off, think with a run of games he could rip this league apart.

    Yep I stook up for Cole on here many times not because I thought he was the best striker we've ever had or out I'd seen many better and many worse. I just thought he got alot of unfair stick took over the scapegoat role from big Vic. Cole would walk in to the starting 11 now.
