One of cody's (Oldham) was an OG tbf. The dubious goals panel aren't bothered about league one.

It was an own goal. But its counted as a Cody goal. You could say the same about Elliotts last week.

Anyway, we need a striker to follow up with 10 goals, alongside Clarke.

True, although we've managed over half a season without another striker scoring 10 goals along side McG and robins prefers a lone striker.

Pretty sure he would score goals at this level with a sustained run in the side. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

He gets in good positions, I'd expect him to grab a few for anyone once given a sustained run

I agree. A sustained run in a league two side and he'll start scoring again. A step too far for him, misses too many at this level.

From my observations I had him down as scoring from 1 in 4 from those first 3 games .However I am willing to buy into the theory he's not fit ,does'nt offer other aspects to the game that others can ,but a 1in 4 ratio is'nt so bad ,pretty confident there are others on the books who can't achieve that.

Was an extremely poor signing. Was signed on hype alone - clearly no ability.

How ironic, considering pre-season the same people who make out Robins can walk on water were saying how Cody was going to be one of the top scorers in the league!

Will be released to cover Clarke's wages. Shame they can't offload ROD or Bell.

Cody's glaring miss at Yeovil at the start of the season just sum's him up in truth..

Not clinical enough or consistent

yeah as much as i think he can do a job i do not mind him leaving

robins clearly doesnt rate him as a poacher and the more non robins rated personal leave us and free up wages the better

Its all over Twitter at the minute that Cody McDonald is set to sign for Gillingham.

If true, then im not sure what to think. He has shown so much potential but never had a sustained run in the side.

Shown so little potential surely?

What is your problem with Robins? He has turned the team around in his time here and we will continue to do well even now McGoldrick has gone.

He scored a lot of goals for Gillingham before we signed him so I doubt his ability is all conjecture.

More importantly if he leaves that with McG gone means we are two strikers down, so will Robins be allowed to bring in another, we certainly need to.

That is two managers who didn't rate him at all

He was frozen out by Lambert as well in the championship

Pretty sure he was not signed by our manager at the time either.

Cody never played, so hardly missed and we have clarke in for DMC, so not really 2 down are we? Anyhow, DMC can not stay at Forest while Lee Camp is there, he will go but too where? Unless a team comes in with firm offer, surely we are best placed to take him.

STRIKER CODY McDONALD SET TO SIGN FOR GILLS









GillsConnect have been informed from a reliable source from within Priestfield that Gills are very close to signing former prolific striker Cody McDonald and the deal will be completed and announced very shortly.



This is a massive boost for Gills promotion ambitions and a successful coup for Chairman Paul Scally, Director of Football Andy Hessenthaler and manager Martin Allen.



Cody McDonald is reported to be out of favour with his current club, League One Coventry City, but the 26-year-old prolific striker was a sensation for Gills when on loan from Norwich City during a season long deal in 2010/11 scoring 26 goals

Cody leaving is the best for both parties..

Wish him all the best for the future if this deal goes through.

Free's up some wages for us to bring in someone else in that postion.

PUSB!

I work in Nottingham, whilst they are just rumours, he was not the only one and Forest have shipped out 2/3 players over it!

Christ. Why are they getting rid of so many people because of it? Surely there is another person they should get rid of if the rumours are true?

Who signed him then? No doubt it can't be Thorny's fault because it didn't work out, and none of his signings ever fail.

£300,000 washed down the drain as well. It seems a lot of money that SISU have put in has been wasted by managers, I wonder how many millions have wasted through the transfer fees and wages of Eastwood and McDonald alone?

So when the manager said McDonald was his number 1 target and he will be the top goal scorer he was lying?

But if true, then Lee is innocent party to all this, only from what i have been told. Seems a lot of substance to it though. Gareth Mcleary is another one allegedly

He was being lauded by Thorn as a 30+ goal scorer at this level and guaranteed top scorer.

It is not unlucky that Robins doesn't rate him,he simply is not good enough. Thorn is not a football manager and never will be, I have full trust that Robins knows what he is doing.

Sounds like BS to me. The rumours say it happened prior to going on loan to sheff Wednesday, yet he returned and played 6 games afterwards. They could have tried to offload him the summer rather than potentially lose him next summer for nothing and didn't, plus he also played a game for them this season.

And like you say, why would they get rid of 2 or 3 others? Bizarre.
