Just checked, the striker he played alongside at Orient when he scored 19 goals, was Kevin Lisbie, who also knocked in 18. Is Lisbie a similar player to Cox?

Lisbie is without a club at the moment...
He's 38!!!
I was only joking.
However, iff we wanted a 4th choice striker who'd add something a bit different then we could do worse IMO.
Although if his age and injuries have got to him then he won't be as effective as he was 3/4 years ago and obviously we should stay clear. Has he popped up on trial anywhere this summer? If not I'd guess his career is over.
Nah.... Lisbie always reminded me of Martin Carruthers ... Run his proverbials off ( to quote PB ) and was very unselfish .
Cox is an altogether different player. Cox - if he stays fit - will get 20 goals for us this season, mostly from well inside the box . But he's exactly what we ve missed - a single minded , almost greedy striker , brilliant at making space for himself and getting his shot on target.
Mooney might benefit from the oppositions defence being preoccupied with Cox's ability and ghost in unnoticed , coz as much as im not a Mooney fan , when he plays a shade deeper he is quite clever at finding space.
With confidence building , we actually could have a real partnership on our hands :winking:
This definitely for me. We seriously need a playmaker to build the team around.The really obvious thing, and sadly it needs saying, is that it doesn't matter who we have up front, if we don't provide them with chances they wont score. The end result is they run around looking lost.
A lot of people criticised Mooney last year, but really, how many chances a game did he get? It can't do much for morale or confidence if you never get the ball in the area you need. Same applied to Barnett.
A fit Stephen McLaughlin very much solves that problem.
A fit Wordsworth should solve our creativity problems in midfield ,trouble is will he ever get fit and stay fit :unsure:
