Chris O'Grady

[Blue3]

I thought he was quite good not the most mobile player but puts himself about holds the ball well plays simple balls first touch not bad brings others into the game not Messi but does a job

CMS had the first touch of a donkey.

I also thought he made intelligent, attacking runs. CMS looks like a player totally out of confidence who looks scared to have a chance

What did you think of O'Grady?

What did you think of O'Grady?

Played better than I thought he would. Needs more pace.

1-goal in 10 league games now from our prolific strikers ..... that will make it 4 goals in total by the end of the season

 

[gully1984]

They are not championship quality strikers. The rest of the team is strong, we just cannot finish.

O'Grady was good when he came on. Held ball up well, some nice touches, brought others into the game. I'd start him if CMS isn't fit next game.

if its his hamstring could be a few weeks

He's certainly an alternative, but I'm not sure he's the solution. I think we need a mobile striker that can make intelligent runs behind the defence BUT, and it's a J-Lo sized BUT, they must be able to control the ball with their foot (not the shin pad) within a 3 yards, not the 10 yards that CMS was looking for tonight. Hopefully Baldock is up to the task

If anyone thought O'Grady was worse than CMS tonight I'd be very suprised. O'Grady actually has a decent first touch and made some clever runs. CMS looked largely clueless again.

 

[Gwylan]

Thought O'Grady looked decent tonight. Like to see him with Baldock, don't think either works as a lone striker but could work well together

 

[Rugrat]

I'd go along with that .... we certainly need to try something different

 

[scoobiewhite]

For what it's worth (extremely little), I thought O'Grady was decent tonight, held the ball up well, bought others into play and showed some nice control. Better than CMS tonight.

 

[crabface]

Thought O'Grady was better than CMS, CMS first touch is shocking. O'Grady held the ball up well and brought others into the game, something CMS cannot do.

They are not championship quality strikers. The rest of the team is strong, we just cannot finish.

And all of the MANY chances fell to midfielders tonight, who just cannot finish.

 

[Ernest]

I thought O'Grady looked up for it and hopefully will retain his PLAICE for the Watford game

 

[BensGrandad]

Thought that COG looked lost when hd came on and did next to nothing. If CMS is out for any length of time we need to use the loan market.

I have been a critic of him but I would ask Leicester about Wood on 93 day loan.

 

[bennibenj]

Was pleased for him more than anyone, he put in a decent performance. Was strong and helped control the ball in the final third.

I hope you are wrong and Baldock is back on Saturday.
