REDOXO Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Korey has signed a new contract and I for one are happy with that, however 5 goals in 171 appearances highlights our current problem with scoring. Something will need to change sooner rather than later. Anyone really watched Eisa and the other lad returning from injury, wee need something new up front!

bristolcitysweden Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Not happy. We need better players in each single position to move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that right :laugh:. 5 goals from midfield in 171 games sums up our inability to score regularly from anywhere in midfield. Packs goals ratio is as poor and Brownhill only slightly better. Our forwards could not score in a brothel as some one said on another thread. We have issues. Have you seen the guys I mentioned earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I know Eisa. But other lad . Haven’t heard of him. Can’t see your point really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Statistically there's apparently very rarely a correlation between goals from midfield and points total. It's a fallacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see your point really Hakeeb Adaluken. My point is. We have limited goals in us. Smith returning at anytime will not help that and the current team is struggling to score. There needs to be changes, all over the pitch. Are Eisa and Adaluken anything near what we need to increase our converted opportunities rate?

And the way you do that is by first teamers becoming subs who become squad players. Korey is currently a first team player so if we can bring in people so that he's a sub we improve the squad.

Dredd Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Bringing it back to the contract for a second, anyone else confused with it only being a one year extension? So he was OOC next summer, now he’s OOC the summer after and in 12m we have to look at it again. Is this the club protecting themselves with a player who has had a reasonable amount of injuries over the last couple of years. Or is it Korey looking at some of his team mates moving on and knowing that he will still be in a strong bargaining position in 12 months time.

Could easily be the injury, I imagine he's one of our higher earners and a longer contract is a big financial commitment from us if he's not the same player.

Im not sure im overly bothered if he does!! cant beat a full back. Lots of nice little quick feet steps. No goals. No assists. He might be a better full back going by all of the things hes supposed to do as a winger, but doesnt do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Can't blame CoD if he does. Never given a consistent run in the side and never played to his strengths either in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bailey Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 100% COD won’t sign. Why should he commit to a manager who clearly has no idea how to get the best out him? 4 more years sat on the bench or Burnley in the Summer ? Bye bye Callum! Pleased about Korey though, he’s a Leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 With his injury, Korey is in no position to makehigh demands, so we may have another 12 months at a great price. If he gets fit and starts to play well again, it might have cost us a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheat does he bring that we are missing? He doesn’t score goals nor does he create them. He has the heart of a lion granted and of course leads by example but techinally I’m struggling to think of a worse player in the squad. Korey was a great asset but for me falls short of the quality required at this level, especially if he can’t get up to speed after his injuries.

RedM Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 How did he sign that, he’s been holidaying in Dubai for a couple of weeks?! I guess it means we have every confidence of this long injury healing fully and we will be eventually be getting a good, fit Korey back? Heck of a gamble though?
