Eastwood!!! (1 Viewer)

[Jason Stubbs]

Surely deserves a start against Middlesborough doesn't he? Did more in the first few minutes he was on than ROD did all game.

If he is 100% fit I would imagine he would start.

Eastwood and Jutkiewicz must be Thorn's preferred front two.

 

[CovScott88]

I very much doubt he will be fit enough to start yet. We will probably see him play 15-30 mins for the next couple of games, until he is match fit, then he will start.
Just my opinion though. Thorny knows best.

Did you notice on Saturday he was wearing a thigh support.
I reckon his hammys are still dodgy, so he will get a sub role again.

 

[kg82]

Well, I'd be surprised if they weren't still dodgy. I'd think both Bell and Eastwood were in on Saturday out of desperation. Both did well though in my opinion.

Eastwood will not score enough goals Juke will not score enough goals It's new blood or were down

Eastwood has had a choppy career with Cov. He was on a great run when we signed Jon Stead on loan and Coleman dropped him. He had 5 goals in 6 games or something. A fully fit and confident Freddy is capable of scoring anywhere around the box. Sadly, he is normally neither of these and doesn't always help himself. It is his last year and we need him the most right now!

Happy happy joy joy

I do rate Eastwood, I would have loved to have seen him play alongside Adebola. Reckon that would've been a good partnership.

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Needs more minutes and training, still looked a bit dodgy running around, I = think we risked both him and Bell to try and get a win at home knowing we have tough away game following and then a 2 week break.

If Eastwood is not 100% fit, I would give Baker a go upfront
My team for Middlesborough would be
Murphy
Christie Cranie Keogh Hussey
Clingan
Bigirimana Thomas
Bell
Baker Jutkiewicz

 

[cornoccfc]

Every time Eastwood had a spell of scoring, he either got dropped or moved out on the wing.

But I think he could do with a fresh start somewhere.

As for the coming weeks, I'd keep him as an option to bring on 60/65 mins, until he has full match fitness.

have you been hit on the head or is this AB baker up front he's not a goal scorer he cant control or pass so how can he shoot he did alright on saterday at the top of the dimoned but he's not a proven goal scorer in the championship

 

[musicmanskyblue]

If he's ever going to come good for us now would be a great time...

 

[ccfc_Tom]

This makes a nice change its normally posts all the time about how crap eastwood is.

Admittedly I was part of the brigade slating him... May have to start eating those words

 

[Macca]

Best footballer we have.

Middlesborough away, its actually painful to even think about

 

[blueflint]

needs to score goals or he's gone this year

 

[operationprem]

To be fair hes got the ability an we arnt gonna sign nobody else, we all need to get behind freddy...if he stays fit could be good for 15 goals

 

[skybluesteve76]

Every time Fred has got in the team recently he's gone on a run of goals and then been unceremoniously dropped! Give him a chance and he'll do the business!!

He scored 13 goals before christmas at stockport, so I think give him ago there too

yeah at the tip of the dimoned but he's not a striker and again he's not a proven championship goal scorer

I will be honest, I would rather see him at the top off the diamond.
But there's a chance he may be ok up front?
