Will he?

He's been top scorer every season since he signed, even in the season he only signed in January.

I wish all our players were as lazy as Cook.

 

Good deal for all parties, hopefully a few more to follow him out of the door.

 

Good luck to VO. I hope he can stay injury free and get some goals.
I was really pleased when we signed him. I still think there's a decent player there but he's spent more time on the operating table than he has the pitch for us.

 

Good move for him and us, hope he does well there which should make our life much easier to offload him in the summer.

 

If you are talking about Cook, then shake your head. He's scored not far short of a goal every other game for us. Of those that have played 100 plus games I bet there's only Sean McCarthy who comes near.

 

He got goals out of nothing many times last season, winning the ball he'd no right to get out on the touchline, carrying it into the box and slotting it away. often scoring from one chance in a game, a huge reason why we got in the playoffs whilst deploying MH's pointless set-up.

Not only is he getting his fair tally this season, watch him when we concede a corner. He takes up a position near the front post, and every corner aimed there he gets to first ( watch Doncaster away highlights). Not only does he score bags of goals, he stops a lot of potential goals.
First name on teamsheet for me

 

Maybe he will but it's no big deal. He wouldn't get those goals for us as he won't get enough game time so it's better to free up the space for someone who suits our squad better and will hopefully contribute more.

 

As we mentioned yesterday Oliver had his chance to keep Cook on the bench when he had his run of games in the fabled Xmas period of 2022 into early 2023.
He failed to take it and Cook returned with goals in 5 of his first 6 games back.

Cook won’t be in the slightest bothered if Oliver isn’t on the bench.
He’ll just continue to score goals

 

Broken record.

Check his goal record whilst here, no other City player can touch him for years

 

Oliver was fine as competition for Cook last season until he got injured and has understandably struggled after being out for so long. People need to get off his case, it’s not his fault that he was given a three year deal on silly money.

 

Couldn't agree more. What a lazy git. Oh, apart from all those goals, the many, many assists and the great defending back and high-pressing. Are you nuts?

 

Not that bothered.
Never looked like a goalscorer in the majority of the games he played in.

Like monkey says he’s never getting enough game time here so off you pop.

 

Only to you everyone else seems to acknowledge it didn't work out for the lad at Valley Parade he can smash as many as he likes in for Stevenage it won't effect Bradford City our us fans one iota.

 

I think majority have the heart of a fly and their arseholes go playing in front of large crowds. More than happy with performing in front of 2-3k of their fans which is why 80% are perrenial lower league players from day 1 to retirement.

Less pressure. Easier.

 

Whilst still managing to score a goal every 95 minutes he plays, which is pretty damn good for "pub footballer" masquerading as a professional.

Andy Cook could sit out 89 minutes of match having a fag and a kebab and he's still be the first name on most peoples team sheet.

 

3 year deal.

Deary me.

 

So if he has a 15% success rate then our midfield has created 340 chances for him.

Seems unlikely

 

No players we sign seem to fit our style of play.
