I've been really sceptical around JC's arrival here and that's the first game where I really thought he offered something and had a real influence,. Yes it was against a very lowly team but he was tenacious, mobileand another leader on the pitch.
There was one occasion where I thought he just wanted too long on the ball and possibly slowed us down a little.
He really should have scored in the first minute, other than that the Issue for me is who makes way.
Yeah and Ruben, more to the point how often.Jim O'Brien?
Not as many as us on hereThe other thing that occurred to me today, to be so unfit how many Stogies does he smoke a day?
He doesn't look like costing us promotion though does he Grendel?
He does. We would have won 20gazillion-0 today if it wasn't for Cole's mistakes.
I think that's unfair. To date Cole has largely contributed by being a distraction via the nervous apprehension his past reputation brings. So Grendel's comments (that I have seen) so far haven't been out of place.You guys have to stop with this praise because inside its killing grendel.
He had a huge ice pack on his knee when he came on at the end to applaud the fans. I thought he was decent today and I kind of feel that he reminds me of ,Gary McAllister, He always seemed decent but the players were not on his wavelength hence he was superb when he went to Liverpool as he had quality around him. I think that maybe the same applies his dead ball delivery is first class but some of his distribution goes amiss as the team is young and developing. They are not on his wavelength yer. I trust TM totally where Cole is concerned and he will help in the development of our team which will be vital if we go up
Is Cole the player we got from Swindon Tony?
Grendel....... Did you go to the match yesterday?
No that's why I cannot comment on his performance yesterday.
Whether Crewe were atrocious or not is irrelevant, we should be smashing teams like them to pieces anyway, however the fact Cole had a good game is indeed encouraging. He'll be tested against Walsall and Burton, for sure, but I'm positive about seeing more improvement from him.
If he has really found his mojo they won't offer any challenge to him.
sure you didDon't know what game you we're watching? I saw Armstrong Murphy and Maddison get goals and assists.
I thought he played well yesterday albeit against a poor Crewe team. Will be interesting to gauge his performance against Walsall and Burton.
When does his loan end?
Funny how we all see things that suit our agenda! Now I know that the likes of Murphy and Arma will get the headlines from the Crewe game but I thought Phillips was man of the match and I don't rate him. I guess it's easy to play well though when the team is. Still worried about that mistake around the corner though.Really? Fair enough if that's your opinion but that's a big statement over a player who got a hat trick and Murphy who was a threat every time he got the ball and scored one of our best goals this season.
I think people are giving in to the Cole as a brand. If anyone else had the game Joe Cole had then we would all be slating him.
He certainly tried and an occasional nice touch or pass but nothing significant and it's not like this is the first time he has been average. He hasn't exactly lit it up since he has been here. Let's be fair.
Looks very unfit to me and his legs are gone. There are a lot of miles in those legs I'm afraid. Not questioning his effort or commitment.
