Might as well write the season off then. Let's hope someone else comes in for him.
Not the worst news in the world. We might want to get in a better striker, but best not get rid of him before we've got a replacement in - it wasn't just the strikers that were bad at attacking last season, virtually the whole team seemed to lack the ability or the will to go forward in any meaningful sort of way.
We do need some new players, undoubtedly, but the whole ethos of the team needs changing - always turning back and passing it back to the defence for them to roll it to each other (slowly) in our own half is never going to lead to exciting attacking play.

What, when he was knocking on their door, asking if he could have his ball back (again)?

Never late in a V8
Will this mean we won't go after another striker?

For him to shine we will need to change our approach to attacking the opponents goal.
TBH we didnt see anything from CoG to think he could fire us up this division let alone out of it.
So much of the team needs a rebuild, esp the top 5 (oh how I wish it was 5) I just don't see the benefit of keeping him.

Agree- I love COG's work ethic and he does have goals in him- look at the one he scored against Arsenal. He needs a player to play alongside and wingers to deliver him service and he will score

He scored ONE goal in the league. ONE. And that was from a penalty
I'd back some of the posters on here to have scored more than that given the opportunities he has had. That header he ducked out the way of at Watford being the main opportunity to DOUBLE his tally

This doesn't instill any confidence for next season, particularly if we struggle to get any better forwards in. As it stands currently we have COG and Baldock who may or may not be be fit for the new season.
So another season with next to no goals from our forwards

Silly old bat
He scored against Arsenal in the FA cup which is more than anyone from Middlesbrough, Hull or Villa could do. The dissenters keep throwing up stats of one league goal, but he had assists and scored a good penalty.
I think it would have helped playing with Baldock, and he is being judged unfairly by the fans, but then what else is new?

It would have helped if we had some speedy wingers to get in crosses for him to knock down for Baldock.
I suspect that if CH signs three strikers then COG will be either sold or let go on a season long loan, regardless of what the neighbours think.
