I think everyone knew how much he was contributing. We just hoped we could fit Cosgrove into that mix as well and get some goals. Before we got a proper chance to see, he was fucked! Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Problem is the Watkins Wright Hedges football (with WBs outside that) isn’t Cosgroves style. Take away the penalties and the ineffective Taylor/Lewis long ball and we’re struggling to define what Cosgroves style actually is let alone play to it. And don’t start me on his pressing!

Poodler Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Mental that Cosgrove is such a consistent scorer (in previous seasons), yet we can all see he's hopeless to watch. Take the money and run, next time! Link to comment

Shame the deal never went through as I'm not sure we'll see an offer like that again. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Couldn't argue with Cosgrove's eventual goal return, but I could never warm to him as I I thought him ugly on the eye to watch. Link to comment

Oh aye. The goals speak for themselves and some of his finishing has been top class. The recent Hibs goal, St Johnstone away last season and Motherwell away last season springing to mind. Reliable from the spot too. But many, many games he looks honking. I'd take a peak Rooney before Cosgrove, but not sure I'd take any other striker we've had this century to be fair. Maybe Stavrum.

strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don’t have an issue with continuing with Cosgrove with some kind of plan as there’s a finisher there for sure. But we seem to be trying to replicate the early season press and Harry game and just chucking Cosgrove in and hoping it works. Results and performances tell me it hasn’t worked. Ferguson and Mcrorie might improve that, but it’s got straws and clutching writ large. Link to comment

Ferguson and Mcrorie might improve that, but it’s got straws and clutching writ large. The main problem is that Cosgrove’s return has coincided with basically our entire midfield and more being unavailable. We haven't really seen a consistent run of games where Cosgrove is in a team with Wright, McCrorie, Ferguson, Mclennan, Watkins, or Hayes because they haven't been available. The inability to make the early season tactics work, has more to do the replacement midfield players not being up to it. 1 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Why I said I’d persevere (without going back to the exact goal you mention as I can’t remember the buildup, just the finish itself). He is a finisher if we can give him the service. I recall Billy Dodds and the tongue in cheek saying if we gave him 10 chances we could rely on him to put away one of them. St Mirren and Hamilton we didn’t seem to give a Cosgrove anything although the Hayes #10 experiment struck me as just bizarre. that said, the boy doesn’t help himself with that awkward gait and conservative chasing style. I see Ernies point above now saying the same thing. Persevere and try to make use of his talents. Link to comment
