Happens at almost every single club as several people have pointed out.
We can argue all season long whether we feel it’s right or wrong but Cook and the rest of the coaching staff have chosen to drip feed him into the team so there’s no point discussing it. If he wasn’t even making the bench behind say Gary Roberts then I would see the argument.
As long as someone scores I don’t care if it’s Moore, Massey, Dunkley or Marshall.
Massey has been poor for me this season and I would be picking Pilkington above him at the moment. I’m also not convinced about Lowe. His finishing is poor, but then if he finished more than he missed he wouldn’t be playing for Wigan.
Depends if they have a recall clause and if he has fallen out with Mowbray then I doubt he would want him back
Stu really needs a rest from posting….
Like you, cup winners and the rest of the cook out brigade every time we win?[/quote]
We have had twice as many posts since the Derby defeat than we got after the Forest win. Read into that what you will.
I’m really not sure it was perfect for him. A game where we are 2 up or an FA Cup game to start him possibly, but who does he come on for on Wednesday?
I do agree though that Pilks should have come on but he isn’t as defensively minded as Naismith so you run the risk of losing. Maybe we should just take the risk sometimes though which again I agree with.
The rugby for example introduce at least five young lads into the team a season. Most are when we have injuries and it is a necessity otherwise they come off the bench in a game we should win easily when we are winning easily. Say being 20-30 points up against someone. If we don’t win the game as easily as expected then they don’t play. They don’t get chucked on on Good Friday when we’re losing and be expected to win us the game.
I nearly spat me cornies out reading this this morning from Cook:“As you’ve seen with young Joffy, I think when results go well, the clamour for the younger lads to be in and around the team isn’t as strong, but when results aren’t going so well, sometimes we can look to them as the one’s to carry the torch,” said Cook, who decided not to bring him on in the midweek loss at Derby County.
“I always think for any young player coming into winning teams and successful teams is a lot better than coming into teams that sometimes maybe aren’t doing so well, so the progression of all the young lads at our club must be dealt with in the correct and proper way.”
He’s basically saying, if were winning he’ll get game time??? Wtf is he on about. Rule one, if you winning every week dont upset the apple cart, bar injuries you keep the same starting 11. Why the fookin hell would you play the lad in a winning side? there’s be no need.
The reason people are complaining is because we cant by a goal right now relying on Dunkley ffs but Cooks hell bent on playing players who cant score.How to twist things to suit your agenda eh?
I read that as him saying that he would rather drip feed Gelhardt into the side when we are ahead and there is no pressure on him rather than chuck him in at the deep end saying “we haven’t scored/won in ages lad, over to you” Granted it worked at Hull but I understand his idea of not wanting to burden the lad too early in his career.
Let’s be honest, if he came on and missed a few chances he’d be sh*te according to most of our fans. I mean didn’t a few on here slate him after a 10 minute cameo against Birmingham because he lost the ball trying to take someone on?
I’d love nothing more than to see him come on and be an instant hero but it is easier for youngsters to come into a side full of confidence as opposed to one on its arse.
I don’t think we would improve it that much. Be 1 or 2 wins and we end up 12th-15th. We’re not a season long top half side IMHO
We are beating most sides at home cupwinners so the pressure doesn’t seem to bother the lads too much ;)
Forgetting last night for a moment we clearly have a mental block away from home. The number of mistakes we make away that we don’t make at home and stupid goals we give away is ridiculous. I’m not sure how much of that is down to Cook or his tactics. Tactics don’t make you make mistakes.
Last night I thought we were excellent in most parts and was happy with a point and more importantly a clean sheet and then BANG. Great goal that you can’t blame on anyone but with our away record you feel extra p***** off especially given the chances we missed. Maybe the pressure of finding a win gets to the players in front of goal.
I agree about Moore. He wins practically every header but heads it to nobody. I was hoping that Jamal Lowe with his pace would be the perfect backup for him but he looks League One at best with his finishing which goes back to what I’ve said before. We sign League One players we HOPE can step up. Whether it’s wins at home only or a mix of both I think we are a bottom half Championship side at best that will flirt with relegation.
But that’s the problem, we’ve a side with lots of grafters, workers, putting a shift in but we don’t have a Powell Maloney, Gomez, N’Zogbia, Moses type player. Someone who can change a game with one bit of magic. This type of player might not work his sack off but they offer a different quality.
The hard work will get you so far but that bit of quality will take you that step further.
For me it’s the missing piece to the jigsaw. Also, I thought the midfield looked more compact without Morsey.I agree. We also seem to have a few players who can all play the same role but none of them are outstanding at it.
The way he played when he came on on Sunday I’d be tempted to play Naismith in that “number 10” role if Windass isn’t fully fit yet.
He doesn’t go there anymore TBH.
Anyway….here is the fans forum
