He may fancy a move back to former club Charlton though. Difficult to say that based on 20 minutes, most of which were in the wrong position..

cottsciderarmy Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think he would be a usual player to have, an alternative to Wilbs. But if he comes I expect Agard to depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough to bang in 17 goals for the title winners last year but not good enough for us, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cox will probably go after his loan, and Burns is low in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that line of argument and the 'in Cotts we trust' but he is getting on a bit and we are not a team in League 1 looking for an experienced player, we're a championship team looking to improve the squad and for me, he wouldn't do that.

bcfcnick Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 The 17 goals did include 6 penalties (he also missed 2). Penalties can really distort the stats and I'd prefer it if they were recorded separately as you'd expect all professional players including goalkeepers to slot them away. I'm not sure how many penalties we got last year but maybe Aden Flint would have tallied 20 for the season if he had taken them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a penalty should only count in the player's tally of goals if they earn and score it. i.e. they are good enough to force the opposition into a foul through skill, pace etc. Not just a simple tap-in from 12-yards. Maybe only the person fouled should be allowed to take it. That would make some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many penalties we got last year but maybe Aden Flint would have tallied 20 for the season if he had taken them! It's a fair point. But I'm still sure he would add to the squad as a championship title winning striker who is a decent player. The idea that are better options around I'm not entirely convinced by. Unless we're looking at dropping a big wedge a la Gray and Gayle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still would've got double figures; we've only got one striker who could do that in the squad at the moment. And he's never been blessed with a huge amount of pace. I think for 12 months or so he'd be fine, but then he's getting minutes in the Premier League at the moment so we probably won't have to worry either way.

Would we be happy with a return of 11 goals from an attacking link man in the Championship ? I think that's not too bad a return . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the trouble starts when they are relegated and under the remit of the Football League again. At which time a cosy arrangement for a light slap is agreed.
