First championship match he's had the opportunity to play alongside our 'first team' if you take into account the number of players signed after the Birmingham game

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
He does look a bit lost in a way but his link up play was excellent and helped create some of the latter chances. I can't seem him scoring sadly but if the midfielders had their shooting boots on we should have won easily.

Must of been watching a different game to me- I thought he did ok
In a 4-4-1-1 set up he could play at the top, and McSmudger or Baldrick could run on to his knockdowns
If we think we're going to finish in the top half with O'Grady, CMS and Baldock up top we have another thing coming. £8million for Ulloa, what's to show for it? We need goal scorers how obvious can it get that these three will not fire in the goals?

O'Grady did well tonight. Linked up well and kept the ball moving.
He's getting better.

Ive always defended cms since his arrival but blimey he had a shocker tonight. COG looked much better when he came on. The biggest worry is none of our strikers look like scoring regularly and we are talking an apparent £5.5m worth of talent!

O'Grady did well. He is no Ulloa, but paying £500k did anybody expect that?

And CMS looked devoid of confidence. There were two perfect through balls - the type of service we have been saying he needs. The second one needed a toe poke. Such a shame.

Thought COG was poor very slow and unaware of what was happening around him. Held the ball up then did nothing with it, time to use the loan market me thinks.
A little harsh, (wouldn't say he was poor) but largely true. He kept drifting wide, when we needed a presence in the box.

I agree with you. I thought his hold up play and link up play was pretty good, he usually found his man. He also made some reasonably intelligent runs off the ball - but as you say, into the channels. He doesn't look a goalscoring threat. But I don't think he was as harsh as bg says above. Just needs a goalscorer played off him. Step forward Sam Baldock?
Probably why I can never take anything you say serious. Every time he won or received the ball he managed to pass or cross it.... A much better option than CMS. He just needs a goal scoring partner up front.

I think your capacity to post absolute bullshit is growing worse as you get older.
Last night? Jeez there's 2 polarised views then. He held up and laid the ball off well and made 2/3 really incisive passes to the runners. Fierce shot on him too, one from the right side, edge of box that had Marshall rubbing his hands.
We may well need better but he acquitted himself well last night, did more in 30 mins than CMS in 60

Are you on the CMS payroll?
I thought COG did well last night, a solid 6/7 out of 10. CMS was utterly dire. Neither really looked like scoring, at least COG brought others into the game.
Maybe you should change you name to Craig's grandad.
COG looked good last night, he won a couple of decent headers and was full of running, played a very tidy pass through someones legs which put us on the counter, very tidy.
Only issue I had with him, was his movement upfront looked a little poor and often seemed to be out of posistion after trying to do too much to get involved in the game, but overall he looked alright, certainly an option.
I think he would look better with someone playing closer to him, but by the time he came on the game was getting a little streched and he didnt have the support of tex and lua lua.
