Im not a fan of Cornick, but this isn’t a dig at him, it’s fact. He is not a natural goal scorer. Wells or Conway, that’s a goal. Not there the other week when Wells missed what was pretty much an open goal then? Again, I'm struggling to find the thread for that one Edited September 16, 2023 by AppyDAZE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you do something “too well” Not really, to use a cricketing analogy, rather than the chip shot just dropping in front of mid-off he ended up giving it a full blooded drive right down his throat. So it this case he managed to get his left foot right around it hence dragging his shot towards the centre of goal rather than the right hand corner, that’s how you can do it too well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is if he wasn't good then what is wrong with criticism if it's what people observe? Why say someone is good if they're clearly not?

JAWS Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 I've not witnessed any abuse towards cornick from the stands or certainly not to an extent he would be aware of, people are generally supportive to be fair and the negative observations have been mainly confined to this forum but I think they are warranted. Fans obviously want him to do well but so far he's not making a great impression from a quality point of view. Can't fault his effort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Cornick has pretty much done everything he needed to there. That touch and shot in those circumstances yields a goal 9 times out of 10. It’s an excellent save. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of his pie crust Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Few people can’t wait to jump on certain players when they makes mistakes/ miss chances. Always has been the way.

I am amused however by some posters here who respond to any criticism of the man as if someone had insulted their own mothers. Only Pearson provokes a greater circling of waggons response. Yep, it's OTT positivity to combat the OTT negativity, in the belief that two wrongs make a right! 44 minutes ago, AppyDAZE said: Not there the other week when Wells missed what was pretty much an open goal then? Again, I'm struggling to find the thread for that one We've had plenty of debate about Wells on OTIB to be fair, especially when he first joined and his overall persona seemed very different. We've been arguing about whether he's the natural goalscorer we were expecting for three years now. My issue is that I don't think Nige knew what he was getting with Cornick, and he's tried to give him a chance in the Sykes role, but Sykes is clearly the more effective player. Cornice definitely isn't an awful footballer, but he's also not looking like he'll be more than back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, definitely not a "bad miss". Firstly, Cornick does well to bring the ball down in that position off his chest. He's probably only 9 yards out when he strikes the ball, but the keeper closes the distance to about 3 yards, making it very difficult to beat him. Keeper has done well here. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your luck's out, like today, he gets enough on it to save it. I think the one thing you will find with Cornick is that he will keep getting in those positions and keep buying a ticket until his luck changes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd mood would have been transformed-, perhaps a small sense of injustice at the 2nd yellow for Dickie. Had to score from there.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 14 minutes ago, candygram for mongo said: he has the whole goal to aim at That is true of any shot from anywhere on the pitch Problem is, in football, there are goalkeepers. They try and stop shots from outfield players, and in this instance WBAs keeper was 3 yards in front of Cornick. That reduces his chances of scoring quite significantly. As pointed out by others, best thing to do is hit low around the keepers legs, which is what Cornick did. Unfortunately, didn't come off on this occasion. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last year our luck was out, on Boxing Day v West Brom actually. They eventually ran away with it but a similar luck dependent scenario- they were getting on a run, we were in a rut. Goal down and fairly even in parts 1st half- Phillips headed against his own bar/post. That goes in big boost to us, setback for WBA. Had we been in the strong form I bet it goes in! Game would have changed had it done so. Edited September 16, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Clarkson was a disappointment overall unfortunately .I think I’ve seen enough now to suggest Cornick is likely to follow a similar trajectory . Be nice to be proved wrong,but not expecting it. The more worrying thing ,is with limited funds we really need our recruitment to be spot on,the scatter gun days are behind us. He’s chaotic but in a good way. It was a good save but whenever he’s been on the pitch (or the touch line) things have happened this season.

No goals, no assists, no goal involvements, no successful crosses, today the only shot so far this season. I’m not sure where the happening is there. it was a good touch today to set up the chance, but the touch doesn’t matter unless the chance is taken. It wasn’t, and from where I was sitting it was a miss, though the goalkeeper also did well. I was hoping after a pre-season that Cornick would kick on this year. Only fleeting glimpses of any progression so far, though I can’t criticise his work rate. Good contrast can be made with Yeboah. Exciting prospect, fast, strong, unpredictable, and excellent work rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
