Im in my business studies lesson so cant chat long, why the fuck has he been sent out on loan, y not send brownlie on loan?? fola was definately one of our better strikers, i hope he comes back. Anyway im off 2 do some coursework but please keep me posted

Sturrock obviously doesn't rate him. Do you think you know better?

obviously not but i think he is better than half the people we have at the moment, dont u rate him?

I'd stick to your business studies to be honest, Sturrock is a proven quality manager and knows what he wants.

if he thinks Fola isnt worth it then he isn't but to be honest I dont rate him so I think he'll be back in january as they wont want him permanently

Get on with your Buisness Studies young man!!!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: no its rubbish im ahead anyway, would u rather keep the likes of brownlie and holgate than fola, i think he was good and hope we can keep him, it wouldnt surprise me if it was in rhodes contract that fola should go in exchange

but Rhodes has gone back you retard!

i no, but that might have been in the contract after he returns we want fola

:nuts:

Business Studies - stick to it! - PLEASE!

Fola is an infuriating striker as he misses too many golden opportunities. There are only so many chances you can give a player.

Good move by Sturrock.

He'll be back, Brentford wont want him...

Still would have liked to seen him wide right

ok, but look how many chances peacock missed last week? 8 i think say no more

he didnt miss 8.

he also didnt miss from a yard out with an open goal

he also isnt lazy

he also spends most of time doing other peoples jobs

To compare the two, is quite frankly shocking. All this sudden hate for Peacock is fucking stupid, we'd be much worse off without him, FACT!

i completely agree

:D  10/10

dv's right.

but i didn't say that or his ego will inflate to the size of the vatican

\ 8) /

I second that

i dont.we not scoring goals so he is part of the problem on that front.then everyone will say he is too busy creating goals i go back to my first point we are not scoring goals so he is not delivering on that front either.

the peacock lovers on here cant have it both ways im afraid

Here here. Fola is shite. Anyone who comes from cambridge and has already been rejected on various other trials is never going to be quality. Be he does put himself about a bit. But thats not enough is it. I'd have the cock anyday. So to speak.

he doesnt score any because he hardly gets any fucking service, so he missed a header or two saturday but how many decent chances does he actually get then?

The problem is, he doesnt spend enough time in the 6 yard box because he is the man who controls the ball brings it down and spreads the play. He does a good job of this, he controls the ball in the final, it stick and we go from there

He was taken off against Shewsbury in the second half and we were shite without him, everything we lumped forward came right back at us as Rhodes and Fola couldnt control it and hold it up

That 20-30 minutes alone showed that we need Lee Peacock in the side, because who else it going to keep hold of it in the final third, no one...

You watch if Peacock doesnt play tomorrow, who will kicked up field and come straight back, he is our outlet.

Its the tired saying, but he adds alot more to the side just goals and without him we wouldnt be as good, if you dont want to believe me and think he is 'shite' and a 'donkey' then be my guest....but I firmly believe you are wrong.

If you cant see what he actually adds to the team, then I dont know what more to say...but if you think he is shite watch him next game and compare what he does to someone like Aaron Brown. Worlds apart.

If our team was decent enough to create chances and get crosses in then Peacock could stay in the 6 yard box and score the goals that he can (his past record backs this up, he is usually good for 15+ a season) of course he cant be the '6 yard finisher' if he is 25 yards from goal keeping hold of the ball because no one else can.

He isnt scoring because we arent using him properly, we arent using him properly because we lump it forward all the time.

Sometimes I think people just want to hate on Peacock because it goes against the grain.

Sturrock wants a target man to do the flicking on, holding up and laying off.

The trouble has been that no one has been there to benefit from all this that Peacock does so well. Sturrock expects the other striker and especially running wide men and midfielders to get on the end of these balls. Chances will then come and more will be in the box to take those chances - including Peacock.

I hope so, we havent used Peacock as well as we could have thus far....but I think the stick he is getting is undeserved...

Agreed about Peacock, he's been pretty good at what he does when I've seen him. The problem is that teams suss out that Peacock is the target man all too quickly and so compensate by marking him out of the game. By and large he still proves effective even when this happens. The problem is the other striker is trying to do the midfielders' (more often than not the wingers') job too so the flick ons and hold up play is a waste of time.

I'm still trying to put my fingure on it!

It's simple.

Peacock + Good, greedy, nippy striker = Good frontline.

Peacock + Roberts, or Fola = Crap frontline.

Shame Caton is injured, I would've liked to see him have a chance upfront.

Don't think Brownlie got enough pace or guile to be good enough for League 1 (Which is what Luggy is looking for).

Haven't seen enough of Lukas to form an opinion on him. He looked quite useful against Shitty last season, but as a partner for Peacock, I don't know...

I'm just gonna trust the big eared one for now. He seems to know exactly what he wants.

Taken off after 60 minutes today with the crowd getting on his back already.

Feel for the lad.

fola had a shit game today from the sounds of it!

to be fair i've always slated peacock

he was also just as quick as roberts to give it the big i am when he scored at the CG so he is essentially, and always will be, a city scummer

sorry lee

im not a peacock hater just rekon he hasnt been taking his chances

Whilst Peacock puts lots of effort in, he blimen needs to stay in and around the penalty box more if he wants to score more goals.  So many times he drops back to the midfield area to try and win the ball.  Thats all good when ure 1-0 up and needing ure strikers to help defend.  However when ure drawing or even looking to snatch an equaliser, this sort of play isnt the most effective

true stef  :D

As long as we win, Peacock could park himself on our goal line for all I care
