I don't think we passed it any more last night at any point. I thought Cook was disappointing and as I've said before, we should be aiming for better players who have a football brain.

It's a shame it turns into Cook vs LJL debates all the time that end up with fans disliking one of them. I'm not biased to either. I liked Cook last season, although even then I used to comment on his lack of ability to hold the ball up and knowledge of how to use his body to shield the ball. But this season he's been poor whenever I've seen him, with the exception of the Huddersfield game.

Last night he was being praised on twitter by people for just doing what they slag off LJL for doing - putting himself about and winning a few headers. I don't think he offered anything last night to suggest he should be in the team. Although I accept you could say that for most of our strikers at the minute.

Maybe Tounkara is the only one "picking himself" in the side with his performances.

We missed him last night.

Maybe he's not needed. Agree with Tommy, Cook added nothing more to the game than LJL. Hard work, endeavour but ultimately no sign of any creative spark outside of the role he's asked to do.
Tonka was excellent though, though the officials were harsh with him regards his strength in holding off players. Gregory was sneaky and did much more but went unseen/unpunished.

I thought Cook was poor last night. The ball just never stuck with him, but it must be difficult to come in and impress with the odd game here and there.

Was gobsmacked when Tonk went off.

I may get slated for saying this but I think Jennings is the best striker we have at holding the ball up and bringing others into play. I'd persevere with a Jennings and Tonk as a partnership. If Jennings could manage a goal soon, he's got the best recent history of being able to get on a bit of a run of goals. I'd have all the other available strikers on the bench in all the remaining games that matter, including Southwell if any of the other 3 are injured.

I see what you mean, Jennings usually spreads the play quite well and his touch isn't bad either, but he lacks the upper body strength of LJL when it comes to holding it up against bigger defenders. Tounkara's the only striker who actually looks dangerous and as if he might create something so he's a dead cert IMO.
