How many chances has he had tho?
He is just an average striker and prob the highest paid player at the club and we got our pants pulled down paying 2.5 mil for him!
He misses so many chances and they are usually at really important times and sometimes it's like playing with 10 men when he's on the pitch I don't think brazil rates him as he has hardly featured under him we should defo get rid in the summer and try and get something back for him.

Don't think people who say "we need a McCormack" realise that it took a lot of work to make McCormack what he is. A lot of confidence pumped into him etc.

None of which we've given to any of our current strikers. Other than Derbyshire from Gary Brazil in the week... and we've been rewarded with a match-winning goal.

Cox is really shit tho for the amount we paid and the amount he earns a week he needs to be a lot better than he has been for us he seems like a nice
Guy but we need a lot better than him

Sat next to a Swindon supporter earlier in the season who was doing the 92. He wondered why we paid so much for Cox. So do I. Any number of players could do the job he does for far less money, that's the rub. He's just not worth it.

You are certainly right.

Although two things I will say is:

1. If we go out and sign someone who's doing well elsewhere, especially a striker, the club aren't likely to sell for cheap, and the player is likely to want substantial money for signing for Nottingham Forest. If a player is wanted by Barnsley and Nottingham Forest, they would expect more money from us.

2. Whilst he's massively underperforming, he is on a contract and he's unlikely to move elsewhere for significantly less money, which is what would happen, unless he's out of contract. If he's on something like 12k p/w or more, then other club aren't going to be wanting to pay him that, s he's going to be unlikely to move.

You just know he'd go to another club and then scored all the chances he would have missed for us

My Sunderland supporting mate thinks Vaughan is shit.
Coupled with the Swindon fans view we need to shift him and Cox out sharpish

Vaughan is quality and worth a place in the side.
Cox is shit not even worth a place on the bench and should be sold in the summer.

Where's me hammer?
It's his knowledge of the offside rule that really winds me up about him..

And his ability to score goals his chances to goals ratio must be one of the worst at the club for years

I've probably said it before, Cox worked well with Sharp under SOD, not really been the same since.
Davies just had him running around and to be fair, none of the strikers particularly thrived under Davies.

Dex, Sharp and Cox all did quite well under SOD.

His last game v Leeds, Sharp and Dex completely destroyed them.

I remember being genuinely excited at the thought of Sharp and Cox playing together. I thought they would score buckets loads of goals together. How wrong was I.

Watched the Wolves v L Orient game today. The lad Dicko looks very good. Scored a bucket load for Wolves since joining in January. He will be dangerous next season. Only 21 as well.

Needs to learn how to pass, shoot, stay onside and not go missing in games before he does anything else.

I remain convinced that this guy will do a very good job somewhere.
The problem is as with so many others This may well happen away from the CG.
