Will Cox and Mooney hit the target?
And with the service they have been provided with the poor midfield performances in just 3 games this is a fair (yet so predictable) thread how?
You normally leave it half a dozen games before starting on the strikers.
How many of the 3 games have you been to?

Bit hard when the midfield are passing it sideways to each other and not giving it to the strikers

Even Jason Williams himself couldn't do anything with that kind of service.

Just 2....Newcastle and Gills(league)
The Gills game neither player impressed me sadly,Both should have got the deckchairs out as their work rate was woeful.
Early days yet .
Indeed, against Gillingham his lack of movement and mobility meant he would need to have been picked out with the kind of pass none of our midfield can produce.

Yep, it will be Mooney and Cox again tonight no doubt, but what is the alternative?
Certainly not the lumbering Williams,
Ranger maybe able to do a job, but when the hell will he be fit? He's not a prolific goalscorer anyway
...same old problems as last year, unless Ranger and Cox works, and they get service, then and only then can I see Cox scoring regularly, as he do look to be a quality player at this level - he would appear to be our only (potential) consistent goal scorer IMHO
But at least we've got a solid defence and keeper to fall back on ! :dim::thumbdown:

Having watched both a few times in training this season I would say that Mooney is going backwards and seems to be much more of a passenger.
As I said in another thread, Cox has the most accurate and powerful shot consistently that I have seen in over 10 years at Boots&Laces. So I know Cox will score goals. He just needs the service, and that's where the problem lies. He also has great touch and can pick a pass. He really is a quality player. We are making him look bad. You can see the frustration grow when he makes a great run into space and Atkinson and Lenny pass it back or sideways.
Ranger is almost there now. He's been having running and striking routines with two of the fitness guys. He will be a much better strike partner for Cox. Jay Simpson would have been even better, but there you go.

Liking the fact that the ball ws played into the box on so many occassions. Not worried about the fact that at least 2 goals were well offside, and the linesman not understanding the 2 defenders between the striker and the goaline if the keeper has advanced is marvellous. Perhaps we will get a few more breaks this year!!!
Cox will score as you can see he is class at this level and his vision is on a different planet to that of Mooney. I'll go for COX getting 19 with Mooney on 4. (Don't think Mooney will take the pens either this year).

If you can't see the quality that Cox has then I'm baffled. The guy looks far too good for this level when he gets the ball to feet. I'm very surprised he agreed to come here.
I think, after the first 3 games, so was he! :unsure:
