Sam Cosgrove

[fine-n-dandy]

He was good in spells today. Last 10 he was horrible, couldn't trap a fat prostitute. Took his goal well, long may it continue!

He would have been taken off towards end because he was burst but he was kept on simply to try & win the countless long clearances up to front, either via head out for throw, or win free kick.

[Chewie37]

He’s almost turning prolific.....

JOINT second TOP SCORER

[fine-n-dandy]

To be honest. If we hadn't been forced to play Considine at CH since Devlins injury & with Lowe making LB role his own.

 

McInnes (always being so desperate to keep Considine in the team) could have played him up front & he'd probably have had more goals than May, Cosgrove, Wilson & Anderson combined by now.

Funny as that sounds. The scary thing is that it may actually be true.

[Chewie37]

Fuck.....imagine a Cosgrove/Considine attacking pair! It’d be like reading Cavey and Smelly Bri posts on here....

[mcdougall(4)]

Aye, we can do better. But thanks for the service Graeme.

 

As for Big Cozza's card being rescinded, I read that as the SFA actively trying to keep us shite by preventing a future ban and making him available for selection.

 

God damn you SFA.

 

This take is aging well...

[old sheep]

Folk can slag Cosgrove off, but he is providing more value for money than the ex Man Utd waster on the bench. He is raw, but there are definitely glimpses of a player there.

But can McInnes source better?

The jury's out.

 

But when he sticks to Scottish players he's done OK. Shinnie, McLean, Ferguson, Flood, Robson all were/are good additions. I'd argue he made Jack a better player too.

 

The non Scottish midfield players haven't worked out at all. Not one. Chidi, Tansey, Gleeson, Forrester.

That's the GWT influence.. prejudiced against all creeds and races.

[aberdeen1970]

I might have been a bit harsh on Ball. He's done OK as an understudy

[ebbe]

Ball’s a first name on the team sheet job.

 

Cosgroves t-shirt under his top was class,

 

Kobe Rufcrot.

[NEM]

Probably the wrong topic for me to say this but the quotes from Shinnie don't sound like he'll be staying.

If he’s not signed by the restart after the winter break Devlin should be made captain

Will not happen.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I think sam is really coming on, game by game, not just in finding the net but in his linking play too.  I expect him to keep getting better, though patience is required - as he has no great experience at any one thing or place.

Why devlin? McKenna is contracted until 2023.

[Tord31]

Another vote here for Devlin as captain.

 

Joe Lewis is an interesting second shout if he wants to sign a new deal.

Except Flood is Irish

[aberdeen1970]

Except Flood is Irish

Yeah he is. Played most of his career in Scotland though

[BWG]

Tansey has also spent a fair whack of his career in Scotland.

 

Would also say Maddison was a good midfielder.

[robbojunior]

Didn’t see the game yesterday but fair play to Cosgrove again doing his job. Can’t comment on whether he played well or not, but if he’s scoring then that’ll do for me.

 

Fingers crossed he manages to become un-shite on a permanent basis

Was my man of the match, easily

[Zeus]

If he keeps this form up I dare say I may warm to him.

 

Hatrick Vs the papes on boxing Day pls

Lol, yeah my research was slightly flawed.

Felt sorry for him in the final as he played well imo despite being so isolated. Had the beating of their centre halves in the air but needed someone to feed off from his knockdowns. If him and May can continue this form into the next 2 games then hopefully can give them the confidence for Tims match

[DelMonte]

He was good again yesterday. Playing well. Some of his knock downs are superb. Nae great with his feet but doesn't particularly need to be. Awkward bastard to deal with anyway.

Would you say he is now more effective overall for us than Stockley was?

[DelMonte]

Yes. Maybe getting the wrong idea but did I ever say different?

[Shinniesta]

I have no idea I was just asking you an independent question without an alterior motive (I know that is unusual for this place).

 

I would personally say Stockley still more of a goal threat but Cosgrove links the play better and is more mobile. Hopefully Cosgrove now improving in the goal threat area but still has some way to go yet in that particular department.

Be funny if we kept signing lumps from English lower leagues, wee spit and polish, sell on for a tidy profit.
