    What else does he offer other than giving fouls away every time he goes for the ball. He is the first name on the tea sheet at the moment because he is in top scoring form if like last season he isn’t scoring he is nor worth his space

    Well here are the stats for last season. Fourteen players scored more goals. However 6 of them scored a single goal more. His performance so far this season, if he only scores one in four (there are 34 games left, not including the FA cup) then his performance is going to be good. He already has 9 league goals. So @ a ratio of 1:4 he will get another 9/10. That puts him in easy reach of the rare 20 a season. If he had got 19 goals last season he would be the fourth highest scorer.

    I don't think Park can manage his dinner half the time.

    I can guarantee Wells was doing a hell of a lot more when not scoring though ............ it boils down to this they either put Cook in alongside another forward or the rest of the team have to create a lot more for him ............if neither is going to happen then sadly Andy Cook become redundant :( and that ain’t gonna fill the lad with confidence ............. I just hope this ain’t the start of a Doyle / Vaughan situation where we do have strikers that WILL score goals but a manager is to stubborn to do something about it

    so your happy with his contribution over the last 3 games ???? And it ain’t a knee jerk reaction it’s either a case of others actually go after teams and actually create thing for him or we keep playing him and hope for a pen here and there .............. you can throw all the stats in the world at me all I can see that over his last 3 games he’s done nothing of note

    Here's a question for you. Name the players who's contribution you are happy with over the last 3 games.

    Then, when you've probably only 1 or 2 names on that list, including Harry Lewis, maybe you can stop banging on about the man who single handedly has been just about our only real goal threat and think about the other deficiencies around him.

    have I not said that ???? I said it’s time for the others to actually step up including the manager but if we are gonna continue to play this way then surly logic says we should go with someone who will win balls who will give there central defenders a rough time because Cook ain’t doing either ................. I hope Saturday was a huge wake up call for Hughes going forward he must realise that the wins have been hiding an obvious issue with us and for a hell of a few games Lewis has kept us in games .............. we are one of the favourites for this league we have a good enough squad it’s time now to actually go after teams and not just little spells .............. we actually do that and Cook will start scoring again ............. just got a feeling little or nothing will change at Salford

    Blake is still the most talented footballer I've seen at VP in my 30 years of watching them. Flawless technique!

    If Cook does not score today, is that officially a goal drought 2 games.
    The problem is no one else is anywhere near scoring enough to become the current scapegoat.
    Who's next in the scoring charts?

    That should buy him 30 minutes worth of credit.

    Been a while since he scored though

    Yes I think a spell in the reserves would do him good or even train with the juniors obviously not up to it

    I think if we’d had an offer for Cook in the summer he’d have been off. It would then have bitten us in the bum like it did when we let Eoin Doyle go to Swindon on loan.
