Simon Cox my lord...

So far, 2 away hat-tricks in one season. Has that ever been done before by a Swindon player?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this kid is way better than Sam Parkin ever was.

Cox is way better than Sam Parkin, and then some. His pre-season goal against Fenerbahce will have alerted the brighter scouts and managers in the FL and the Prem to his talents. His form, goals and general attitude since then will have alerted the minnows and wannabees. No fucking way he'll be with us after January.

I say again; if we get less than £2m for him when the bigger clubs come in, we'll be regarded as a selling club with no bollocks for a promotion fight. When he goes, I hope Malpas and Fitton have a suitable candicate lined up to replace him.

Whatever we sell him for is more to do with market forces than whether Malpas or Fitton have the stomach for it. Don't kid yourself, we are a selling club anyway... but he is a mint player isn't he?

I wonder now if there has ever been a player to score 2 away hat-tricks in one season? Never mind in the space of just 3 away league games...

I'm thinking Coxy is the first player since Bill Stephens in 46/47 to score 2 away league hat tricks in the same season, although I haven't checked it.
  Dennis (Bullets) Brown scored 2 in successive seasons, which is rare enough....his 4 at Bormuff, a fond memory as I was there. We sold him soon after...

 On the match day thread.

Lets be honest, Cox is too good for us. I can't see him being here next season, I'd be surprised if he was here after January.

His only weakness seems to be a bit of pace, not that he is slow and a bit of consistency, still misses a few he shouldn't.

But 14 goals by Nov 2nd, wow!

 We want to maximise what we've got with Cox....Sat is important because a bit of FA Cup football exposure, always puts up a players price.  Similarly, we could just do something in the JPT....although Brighton have just rediscovered their home form....his goals could take us a long way.

 

[Whits]

i hope we can keep him past Jan, if he leaves does this fuck up my top scorer bet?

do i get my money back as hes not finishing the season in L1

[STFC_Gazza]

Be interesting to see if we can keep Cox....

 Gazza, AF has already said we'll need to sell someone, in an ideal world, we'd be back to the days when we could sell a full back like Kerslake King or Bodin, but aside from Morrison, who might attract a Tozer, Lukas type deal, namely a small sum upfront then something based on appearances, Cox is our only asset.

 The aim must be to maximise the $, Maynard cost the shitheads 2mill+ for 32 goals in 54 games....Cox has gotto be in that sort of bracket.

Re Coxy, Championship is on at 10.25 ITV1, be nice to see that second goal.

[Simon Pieman]

I think Ed Hadwin has made the point that he's scoring when he's not playing well also, although he'd be top scorer if he hadn't have missed some easy chances in some games.

He's the sort of striker we've lacked for years, has a bit more speed and agility to go with the confidence and eye for goal.

He'll be here until the end of the season at least.

[Sussex]

Just seen the goals on Chumpchip. Very nice indeed. 

[axs]

that second goal was a peach, great finish.

[ron dodgers]

please stay the whole season!
