Coxy got his first league goal yesterday, a fucking belter it was too. And got MoM too. Woop.

(Apologies if this is a duplicate, can't find any other threads bout it!)

Apologies if I'm missing something, but why is that so good? Do we get paid extra for goals or motm's?

I was under the illusion Leggett was merely congratulating someone most people want to succeed?! Was a belter of a finish. good on him.

£400k of performance related add ons, so possibly.

Well, that shouldn't be allowed. Like Parkin and Cureton before him... He's dead to me.

Keeper could have done better! Commentator suggested that Cox shouldn't have been MoM.

From what I've read on message board a lot of WBA agreed with it and want him to be starting future games.

good for coxy.i want him to do well, then at least we can say he was too good for us and went on to better things.

I want him to do well for several reasons.
Firstly there's the obvious add ons we might get.
Secondly it's a good advertisement for getting in quality players so they can get noticed. I don't mind quality players being sold after 2 or 3 seasons if we can keep that quality coming in - hasn't happened up front sadly.
Thirdly, I just want him to do well because I think he deserves it. Despite it being clear he was a class above, we were shit and his move was inevitable, he never once stated he wanted out. I thought he handled the situation well, still played with 100% effort despite the speculation.

Definitely a class act. I have moved on in the sense that we no longer have his goals, but I'm sure Cox looks out for our results much like I will look out for his goals.

Summed it up perfectly there Si

It was a decent strike but the keeper should have done better.  Good luck to him - I want him to succeed because I told all my glory-supporting mates that we would be scoring goals in the premier league at some point.  I don't like being wrong.

Meh... we were still paying him a fairly decent wage and - I'm sure - some sort of goal bonus.

West Brom'll go up, he'll end up back at Reading, and probably score against us in the next couple of seasons.

At what point do we stop wishing him well?

cheer up for fucks sake weasel

For me you answered your own question. Why not wish him well? He did brilliantly for us and, as Si already posted, he wasn't acting like a cunt demanding a move every 5 minutes.
My wish is that we go up the same season as West Brom, as that's the only way he'll be playing for us again.

Great goal and glad to see he got MOTM.

Pah, I bet Ben Hutchinson is on a decent wage and he hasn't convinved me of his effort.

I'll stop wishing Cox well when I feel like it :)

Good on himbut it was niether a belter nor a motm display really was it... TBH I'm in the "who cares now anyway?" camp.

How do you know it wasn't a MOTM display? Were you there?

Yeah, mates birthday in Brum.

haha you fucking liar

:D

i was there and thought he was imense. played very very well. Dorrans was probably MOTM but was happy enough to see coxy get it.

great to see him on the score sheet.

I'd love him to go on & command a Walcot type transfer fee. We might then get more than the 10k we got for him in sell ons

I met the head of reading's academy on saturday night. He lives round the corner from me. Anyway, to cut a very boring story short, he was telling me how he makes half a per cent of any sale of a player to have come through the youth system. So he gets half a per cent of the 600k or whatever it was reading made on Coxy's move to west brom. He said in all the time he's been working at reading, coxy was by far his greatest hope to make it big. He thinks coxy would do a job in the top flight.

3k aint bad work i suppose
