hoxton casual Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 In the little I see him, I see flashes of a quality striker. One chance today was behind him and the other one he made out of nothing. Good awareness and good link up play. Or is he just awful and I am clutching at straws?

upthebracket Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm with you, think he's got potential. Has not had the game time to be judged fully. 263 minutes, 2 goals. That's not exactly an horrendous record is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 We’ve got better kids but they lack experience. Hope he goes back to the Cottsgers sooner rather than later . A sure sign were a little light squad wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 He frustrated me today. I think there is a decent player in there somewhere but he needs a regular run of games to show it. Unfortunately I really don't think we're the right club to give him the run of games he needs. Assuming we don't sign him at the end of the season then he will go with my good wishes and I hope he succeeds elsewhere but ultimately when fit we've got Reid, Diedhiou, Taylor and Djuric who I would put ahead of him, plus Hinds and McCoulsky who have potential and could overtake him, plus Engvall who - to be honest - I think has done no better or worse than Woodrow has with the few chances he has had to date.

1960maaan Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I am clutching at straws? yes , cows bum with a banjo springs to mind. Probably being unfair, but I really haven’t seen anything to get excited about. In a year of highs and quality he , and (early couple of games apart) Leko, have left me unimpressed. If we could , I’d send them both back and look elsewhere. on the Weston’s vintage, opinions maybe skewed a little . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Difficault for him when he doesnt get so mutch playtime, he scored two already and should have scored today. As long as Famara and Djuric are out think he will get some time. Like him, sure he is a good player. Remember his header vs Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. Think if he started most games he would end up with 12-13 goals which is a decent return. He just won’t get that run here. I think we should have used him a bit more so far and would have probably been a bit sharper today had he played more. He was excellent against Derby but then used sparingly with Taylor. Think both should have featured more with Djuric and Diedhiou out. It would probably be better if he went back in January(late January preferably) and one of youngsters fill the bench when needed. Perhaps that will happen but I do not doubt we could have gotten more out of him had we played him a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him, but most of that is based on performances I’ve seen on telly for Fulham, England U21s, Burton, as well as a couple of live matches. Not seen much of him for City. I was one touting him as a prospective signing over the summer. Thought he’d fit in well.

Worth remembering that 5/6 games in many were saying Diedhiou was a waste of money! Worth remembering that Many thought Djuric was a bit of a donkey up front, but obviously never quite fit and following his op (and before the next one) we started to see what we saw in those YouTube clips. Whether we get to see Cauley in a run of games or not is unknown....but because we haven’t doesn’t make him a bad player either. No one gives Reid 4/10 if he plays poorly, or misses a chance. A few weeks ago, Hörður was the 4/10 man, but given a run to get himself adjusted he returned to the form of pre-Xmas 2016. Lets just wait and see if Cauley gets a run and then judge. It’s not like weve wasted £3-5m on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Have a hunch he's a nice lad , maybe too nice And a confidence player , which is hard / vicious circle when you're not getting game time With his career to date he must have some ability , if we are forced to use him we may actually end up seeing much better of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time it seemed an astute signing but we never expected our season to go this way and Cauley has suffered for it. No way we would have thought he would be 5th or 6th choice. With the form of Diedhiou and Reid it was hard for him to get a game them Djuric came back into the fold as soon as Diedhiou was injured. Then with other circumstances like O’Dowda being injured we had to move people around to get our best teams out there. Like moving Paterson forward and centrally.

italian dave Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I thought he showed some lovely touches in the build up today, but missed two very decent chances that any striker should have at least got on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I just don't see it with him, but then I dont see it with Korey or Pack so I probably shouldn't be allowed an opinion because I certainly notice the absence when the latter 2 are not there, I just dont know what they do when they are there.

red84 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 From the little I've seen he's too small to be a target man and not quick enough to turn defences. That said he's not had a run of games which can't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRERE Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Outside the box he's great; he works hard, has some good flicks and linked up very well with Reid and the midfield vs Derby but he just lacks that quality in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth remembering that Many thought Djuric was a bit of a donkey up front, It's odd. Is some of the Woodrow bashing stemming from the fact we effectively got laughed at by Fulham fans for taking him off their hands? I assume that he is presumably rated by the Burton fans? Diedhiou & Djuric came with decent reputations and historical performances in their respective leagues and came in from abroad; it's ridiculous to not give these players time to settle. I'd guess expectation is that Woodrow - being fairly experienced at this level - should perform better from the off without any settling period.
