Red Ferret Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Absolutely love him, but he does need to know when to pass! Noticed he's been chatting to the refs a bit on the pitch showing he is picking up some degree of English which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's his nickname. It came from those who sit around me in the Dolman. Most of them think he's lightweight and overplays. He gets dogs abuse when he takes on a player he's just beaten.....so he ain't the goalscoring messiah as is claimed on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's the goalscoring something, because he has scored goals. That you cannot quibble over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's about opinions, but too many supporters are over-critical, one bad thing outweighs many positives. We've had a bloody difficult season, struggling in the the bottom 4 or 5 all season, and a bloke who's new to the country scores 18 goals with 2 games to go, and still there are mixed views. If he was a tap-in merchant who did little else but score 18 goals, there would be a big contingent saying he doesn't do enough in the general play. Kodjia does much more than that. I don't think he can win with some supporters. I don't see him as the messiah....but he's far from a naughty boy....apart from when he booted McFadzean off the ball. He might not be as good as what I see through my reddish specs, but he has been one of our best performers this season. For me, the only players who can touch him this season are Flint and Smith, although Tomlin has had a massive impact in a third of a season. If I've bitten, who cares!

Northern Red Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Given that Agard was (harshly, IMO) decreed by a lot of people on here as not good enough at L1 level last year, I can't fathom how anyone can think he would have done as well as Kodjia this time out.

Perhaps you could do us all a favour and encourage yourself and those around you to support him? 17 goals in a debut season for a team floundering at the bottom. If that's not good enough then I don't see how you won't be eternally disappointed with any player we ever have. He couldn't have done much better. If he scored more, created more, beat everyone, finished everything and took penalties he'd sure as hell not be playing for us. Enjoy him while we have him. Another 17 goals next season and he'll be long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted April 25, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 3 hours ago, Robbored said: Codger had a decent season considering that it was his first in English football. That said he didn't impress me with his natural goal scoring in the way that Bob Taylor, Tony Thorpe and even Steve Brooker did. I accept that they were experienced English players but to me Codger hasn't - yet, got that natural instinct. As I posted earlier Codger will be a better striker next season. And they largely scored their goals for us in the third tier of English football, bar 3 for Brooker & 8 for Thorpe at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I must confess that I thought Kodjia would not score as many as he has because he is talented but he was all right foot and thus easy for defenders to nullify. However he notched with his left against Derby , IIRC , so i think he's working on that weakness. Anyhow , Bravo Monsieur Kodjia , bien joué .

sh1t_ref_again Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I think our biggest problem with Kodjia, will be keeping hold of him, To score that many goals, in his first season in English football, having never played at this level, in a relegation form team, living in a new country, for part of the time unable to communicate with team mates is incredible and will not have gone unnoticed by Prem teams and teams about to go up. I hope we can keep him, because if he is still that raw as LJ suggest, then what can he be next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Has been very good in a year where he's learning new league,language,surroundings and styles etc. Next year promises to be even better. Cue big offer and departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind irrational hatred I have that when Carl Hutchings is involved, Anyway kodja is decent but I can see where the criticism comes from, he is very frustrating and missing quite a lot of chances, but so do all good strikers, he is a breath of fresh air though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who else in the squad scored any goals? When your fighting to confirm your championship status you don't drop your (only) top scoring threat. Just want to say a big thank you to Lee Johnson for doing a top job in picking the team, tactics, squad rotation, loan signings etc and saving our season. Just want to say to That35, never I repeat never go into football management.......unless it's for the Gas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to back to my point and I will help you by linking it to yours, with a small squad the tactics, rotation, picking the team is all effected. Yes I agree it's fantastic and great testimony to LJ that he has been able to link well with all rest of the management team, including Pembo so quickly. Proving what a top manager he really is!
