Sam Cosgrove

[DelMonte]

He's been some find for McInnes. Should reach 20 goals for the season.

Indeed. Whoever is working with him in training needs praise. Developing more of a football brain it appears.

I thought he looked a decent player after the split last season but I never thought he'd be a goalscorer. Thought he was struggling start of this season and was about ready to right him off but it was clearly just the system we were playing that didn't suit him.

Any idea how many goals he's scored thus far?

I'm delighted with how it's working out at the moment as i was one of those fans who had written him off and was quite vocal about it.

Great that he is shoving my criticism straight back down my throat and long may it continue.

I didn't think he was a lost cause... he had something, the ability to unsettle defenders and cause a bit of chaos in the penalty box.  I was happy to keep him, but using sparingly, because he could be useful in certain circumstances.  However, I certainly didn't predict this transformation.

 

As i said in another thready, if he continues at this rate, and ends up with 20-odd goals by the end of May, he won't be at Aberdeen next season.  Young English strikers, who can score goals, are like goal dust in the English leagues.  See Jayden Stockley for example.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

13 league goals to date.

 

A more aware version of Stockley

You should have listened to me pal 

 

I think that's the real reason @@Roberto has taken a sabbatical. He'd have to admit I was right about Cosgrove.

Could not agree more..... If W Grigg who was prolific at League One, but a non-scorer in Championship gets 4m transfer including add-ons and Doncaster (our target Marquis) turned down 2m from the same Sunderland side; what does that mean for Cosgrove? It should be noted that Cosgrove is a few years younger than the aforementioned, however they have consistently scored in the lower leagues.  Heck, J Maja a 20 year old with one good season at League One had a 3.5+m transfer to Bordeaux. Maybe Bordeaux overpaying has created this domino effect as well as Sunderland is not your normal League 1 side but that is the current market.

[tightbreeks]

every corner we get, we should be looking to the big man. the height advantage we have against some teams is there for all to see.

 

no excuse for those corners that don't even beat the first man.

Our set piece takers are pretty shite and have been for a while.  We'd do well to invest in someone who can hit a good dead ball.

Greg Tansey?

[mcdougall(4)]

Aye he was fairly disparaging of anyone who felt that Sam had promise, which is now blossoming...

His tail would be massively between his legs now

[mcdougall(4)]

But our scouting is shit.

[ebbe]

Anyone who can’t put a ball between the pen spot and the 6 yard box from a corner, has no right calling themselves a professional. Fucking pathetic. I couldn’t imagine how infuriating it must be for a centre half running 70 yards to see the ball scraped in at knee height to no-one.

[StandFree1982]

Greg Tansey?

 

BHH?

 

It's amazing the height and strength we have in our side, and yet we threaten so little at corners.

 

How do teams manage to win most of their headers and clearances when DEFENDING a cross, yet are absolutely shite when ATTACKING a cross? 

[Andy_123]

Do his penalties count? I remember some on here trying to claim they didn’t for Rooney.

 

I had also written him off before, glad to be proved wrong on this occasion. A good find who looks like he’s getting better with every game.

Most of our crosses are shite and don't get past the first man

[strachanmcgheegoal]

We also rarely drive in a cross. McGinn is especially culpable for the high floaty effort that comes with a ribbon and slippers, such is the effort required by the keeper to get to it.

 

Considine seems to be our only threat. Fuck me even big Ashton bagged two or three.

[DelMonte]

McGinn is quite good at corners actually. First one he took on Wednesday was a great ball.

The first part is made up. The argument was that he was doing fuck all for the game apart from scoring a penalty which is fair enough.

[Poodler]

In about the 90th minute he came down the right wing and floated in a terrible ball that I think evaded breaking the 18 yard line and straight out the other side for a throw

It's hard for some to comprehend when it's actually very simple.

[Sheepo]

I think Stevie May has the best delivery at the club from set pieces and seems to drive them in

I would say that Ferguson is just as good if not better.

Maybe we should see if Lowe, or Logan can do any better.

 

Just keep, Stewart,McGinn & Shinnie away from them ffs

[TheRock]

There's going to be a lot of pressure/expectation next time we buy a striker we've never heard of for £20k.

I think stevie May runs around a lot so giving Cosgrove space. On his own up front 2 centre backs nullify cosgrove, May running around makes space for cosgrove

Scored two without May against the orcs
