See cody McDonald has just scored for gills already . Be great to have another in form striker on the bench without having put our hands in our pockets !!
Recall him on the 27th day I think, get as many goals and as much match fitness.
I rate him, give him chances, he'll score, but I fear Cody doesn't suit MR's system - like McG at Ipswich.

No me neither.much rather see cody get a few games under his belt for us now he's seemingly got his mojo back !
clearly not in the short term plans but I think he would have put him up for sale if he wanted to get rid completely. He needs confidence and some games under his belt rather than sit on our bench
No I'm pretty sure we have the option to immediately recall him within the first 28 days of the loan.
No, we can recall him in 28 days, after that period, he's a Gillingham loanee till the end of the loan.
His 'goal' against Oldham was off the bench.....so starts are irrelevant for that goal.
He missed an absolute hatful beginning of the season, could have had a hatrick against Yeovil and bury
oh i think eastwood settled in just fine......onto his backside . he shown glimpses of greatness but was never interested , especially off the ball. cody at least shows hes TRYING to get in the side and work for his money.
Maybe we should trust the managers decision?
I remember how we all knew better than several managers about Kevin Thornton.

Yep, probably spot-on.
DMC was scoring goals for fun in League One but has struggled consistently in the Championship to bag goals.
Could be simply that Cody Mac is now at his right level.
We are unable to recall him in the first 28 days of his loan but, we can recall him any point after without any notice.
AS I asked on a different bring him back thread, where would he play? It is clear that Robins likes his system of playing one up front, and Cody (who I very much liked) wouldn't be able to play that role. If Robins doesn't think he fits in at the moment, then a loan spell is the right thing for him.
His goal last night was the easiest goal he has ever scored in his life, although he did make the run and anticipate the goalie missing the ball

Scores on his debut and you want him back already?. LOL, he's better off in league 2 in my opinion.
part of my point was that it appears sisu wont fork out for anyone in the current window...so why not have him back as cover at least.
imo , now we have a half decent side who are attack minded and creating chances into double figures , then he may well shine. we just havent had chance to see it yet under the current form.imho seems this is what robins wants...to see him play without risking him on our own turf just yet.

Mark Robins clearly thinks cody doesn't fit in his style of play.
Cody has already said he doesn't fit into Mark Robins style of play, so the best thing that can happen for us is that Cody bangs the goals in while on loan, so then we can get a decent fee for him.
David McGoldrick is an example that a good loan move can attract a lot of clubs.

If he continues to score for the Gills during this initial 28 period then I can see Robins bringing him back and having a positive impact.. 2 in 2 games so far if he hits 6 in the next 5 I would welcome him back with open arms
Correct! It's a 93 day emergency loan, we cant recall in the 1st 28 days, anytime after that we can recall at a moments notice.
The loan period also ends before the play offs start so he will be eligible for us in those games (if we get there)
I think we need more than one style of play - we've looked short of options a few times this season. I thought Cody looked really good when we signed him. Clearly a goalscorer but has never had a run of games to prove himself (for whatever reason). Hopefully he'll keep scoring for the Gills and we'll bring him back full of confidence for the run-in
glad im not the only one who hasnt got blinkers on !! i agree its a bit short sighted to think MR will only constrict his squad to one style of play.
Leave him there, let him bang in the goals. Then at end of the season, if we don't want him still, we could do a Forrest with DMc, and flog him. Wages off the bill, hopefully some money back from his transfer fee, and money towards a consistant striker?
I think it's a case of suiting the system - McG doesn't suit Ipswich and Cody doesn't suit CCFC, not because they aren't good enough.
