Dean Cox scores again

[Ninja Elephant]

Surely he must play on saturday? If Poyet wants to make his mind up about him, he should give him a proper run out in a proper match. He keeps scoring for the reserves, why isn't it enough to be in contention for the first team? He's done more to justify a place in the matchday squad than Carole has, in my opinion. I don't see what more Cox has to do to get a chance.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

doesn't fit in with Poyet's style of play, thus is surplus to requirements

 

[algie]

Because he is being released?

 

[philsussex]

Would love to see him get another chance on Sat too

 

[Scotty Mac]

since cox has been out of the team and we've gone 4-5-1 with two pacey winners, our form has improved dramatically

if its the way we are going to go for next season, then cox isnt going to play a part

 

[Tomnorthi]

Went along tonight and he is a good player, worth a game.

 

[The Wizard]

Cox has had plenty of chances, sorry, not good enough. Would prefer Brinkhurst to get a go.

You don't think his mind is already made up?

He's not going to fit in here anymore.

George Barker scores for the reserves too. Should he be a shoe-in for Saturday?

Just cannot see Cox staying based on his performances over the last 2 years
(oh sorry I forgot - he needs to be given a chance doesn't he)

 

[Uncle Buck]

Will be off to Orient.

Should have been allowed at on loan.

Dean Cox comes from the Craig Bellamy school of trouble, Deans Wilkins had to reprimand him if Im remember correct, Slade labelled him his "little bundle of anger management" (or something like that) and Poyet has the balls to rid the club of disruptive influences, like Forster. His moto is simple, act like a twat and you're out!

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Gus wants him to go. He wants to go. That's why he's not playing. Simple.

You went along and think he's worth a game. To me, that means alot more than people just writing him off.

I can't agree he doesn't fit into Poyet's style of play, I think he's exactly the type of player who would thrive upon it. I've never been his biggest fan, but I think it's unfair he's scoring so many for the reserves and isn't even being considered for the first team. Maybe it's just because I don't like Carole, but I can't understand why Poyet hasn't even given him a runout from the bench.

Obviously if he's acted up and isn't being picked because of his attitude, then fair enough. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but on the face of it, it seems harsh he's not involved.

 

[Mr Smggles]

i'd like to see it but don't think its too realistic

 

[Whitterz]

cox will join Lleyton Orient in the summer.

Poyet is the manager and watches him in training every day, to me, that means a lot more than people moaning about him not being in the team. Gus knows best.

He has been, at training.

Weren't Craig Davies and Gary Hart quite prolific for the reserves, too?

 

[Acker79]

Forster has been scoring for charlton (at the top end of this level), dickinson for peterborough (low end of level above), davies for Vale (level below, but still above reserve level). One is all but definitely gone at the end of the season, one is believed by many to be on his way out, and davies may or may not still be with us next year.

One can surmise either Poyet doesn't want goal scorers at this club, or it's about more than just scoring goals.

Given Murray, Bennett, Crofts, and Barnes are still here with all the goals they're scoring, I'm going with the latter: it takes more than scoring a goal or two to work your way into the team.

?

He has little pace, we play with pacey wingers.
He can only play on the left as he's vastly inferior to Bennett.
If we don't play with pacey wingers, we play a more 'solid' midfield - the likes of Dicker and Hendrie out left, who do more defensively and move into the middle more.

Cox likes to hog the touchline, doesn't beat players, and can't cross a ball.

He has no future here.
