Sam Cosgrove

[Yorston Vasey]

@@Roberto you not owe 20 to charity? 6 goals before Christmas. Line was 5. (Think it was you)

Goals against St Mirren and Dundee only count half.

[1903Fitba]

Joint second highest goal scorer. 1 behind Harvey

[BWG]

He's shite

He'll score

He'll win the ballon d'or

[DelMonte]

Cosgrove has played absolutely fucking shite barring 2 games this season. 2 fucking games.

 

I don't want to write him off. I have done, because I've seen him in many games and he's a fucking terrible player with no ability.

 

Every so often Mackie popped up and played a blinder, this did not make him a footballer.

 

Cosgrove is and always will be shite. A little 7/10 rather than a 4/10 performance against Livingston does not change this.

 

You really don't have an eye for a footballer, been a few times lately I have thought Jesus that boy is a zoomer with some comments after games.

 

I was willing to give Cosgrove the benefit of the doubt at the beginning, then I watched him properly in numerous games.

 

Put it this way, there's a reason he cost 20k from Carlisle. Useless cunt 90% of the time.

 

All I want for Christmas is proper creative midfielder and a proper striker.

Good Post.

Not enough +1s for this sly gem

@@RAZOR - told you. Offers a lot more to us than Stockley and as I said to you at the start of the season - he'll score more than Stockley in less games. He was one of the the main reasons why we finished second last year. Made a huge difference when he was introduced to the squad in the top 6 split last season. Glad to see him prove folk wrong.

Here comes the Canadian backlash @@RAZOR

Best striker since Shearer !!!!!111111

[Ernie McCracken]

I see the BBC havent acknowledged one of Big Sam's assists.

 

Sabotaging his chances of the Ballon D'or

[TheRock]

Would have no objection to one of the new stands being named the Sam Cosgrove stand.

[Chewie37]

The Hat basically has to take full credit for his upsurge in form. Blatantly pretending that a lot of posters thought he was garbage to motivate him to do better.......well done lads

He did great today, made Berra look like a corpse. We may have just witnessed his best game, or he's pushing on, hopefully the latter.

[TheRock]

In seriousness, if this isn't just a flukey run of luck and it turns out Cosgrove is a player, that's some pick from McInnes.

[Mr John]

Slow burn.

Gleeson looked good today too. I'd like him to get a run if Shinnie stays at LB for a few games.

[mcdougall(4)]

Best goals per minute ratio in the division

[Andy_123]

He's come on leaps and bounds since he first arrived here. 

 

He would have been unplayable for large parts of the game today had Beaton actually given any of the 100+ fouls the Hearts defenders committed against him all game.

[TheRock]

Has anything changed that we've become amazing at coaching young players? Cosgrove's come on, McLennan has been as good as anyone this month, Ferguson went from exciting prospect to starting 11 almost overnight, McKenna became a prize asset almost overnight. Or is it simply young players getting more chances?

[Ke1t]

Can't argue with his recent play, but his challenges are still as clumsy as fuck, and for that reason he's going to continue to pick up cards even when he's just just going for 50/50. Every challenge he makes looks like a foul, whether there's bad intentions or not. 

 

That's probably indicative of the level he came from... Stockley and Zola, the two closest approximations, were the same way. 

 

There was a period in the second half where he gave away 5 fouls, 2 and 3 right after one another, and I thought he was going to get another yellow for persistent fouling.

 

Fair play to him, he actually seems to be making the step up, though. If he can iron out the Jimminy Lummox challenges then he seems like he'll be a decent signing. 

[Daz the Don]

Doff my cap to the lad.

 

Thought he was superb today.

 

A " real mannie" centre forward performance.

[Reed or deed]

Got to give him a lot of credit for his recent play.

 

Great in the air and some of his link up play has been excellent. Scoring goals too, can't really ask for much more.

[NEM]

Superb performance today. Won every ball, hold up play was great and he gave Berra and that long haired clown a torrid time

[The Boofon]

working for the IRA was the making of him.

 

He was brilliant both Burnley games.

 

@@boboisared and I both called it that he’s a good player way back then.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I am really pleased - for him and us - that he has "come good".  Even as far back as the Calderwood era, we have tried a long, inglorious line of "big galoots" up front and they have all been shite, until now.  And so I can understand folk writing him off previously, after many games without a goal, but he is really showing what he can do now and will continue to improve.

 

What a run he is on now, with confidence coursing through him.  Its the kind of run that would take (God forbid) injury or suspension to end, and he may well score against the tattie munchers.

 

No doubt he is now thriving because of how others in the team are performing - e.g. May has been far from prolific for us, but he busts a gut and puts a shift in every game.

[fifered]

Starting to win me over after the last few matches however I think he must have someone like may working hard and supporting him. Up top on his own I still don't see that he's good enough but he and may have been really good the last few games.

We're playing the victims at home.

Aye, but he still might well score at the tattie dome.
