Scored again. There's no doubt he gets in good positions, just needs a run in a team

2 in 2! Sign him up.......oh hang on

Its like 2 in 40 mintutes as he was only a sub in his last game and only played 10 minutes or so today

Also I have only just realised that Aidy Boothroyds Northampton have just snuck into an auto spot currently in league 2

coop · Jan 29, 2013

I've always said on here I dont think he's been given enough game time certainly not under MR as I think the chances we create now he would bang the goals in IMO but in MR I trust just think like Saturday MR has no confidence in his bench

So where would we play him? Robins has a system which has worked so far, so why change it?
I really want any player in Sky Blue to succeed, and felt McDonald was always likely to score, but rarely did.

Possibly as a lone striker, could try it, assuming he gets recalled.

We've paid so much for him we really need him to get some goalscoring form for us and if sending him down to Gillingham for a month does it - I'm in.

Could he play off Leon Clarke?

Robins system has not worked as well at home. We should go two up front and take the game to the opposition at home.

sw88 · Jan 29, 2013

According to SSN app, hes playing up front with someone alongside him! Fact hes finding the net suggests this is what he prefers

Probably could, but we don't play 4-4-2!

We have a quality midfield, why spoil it?

Fleck IMO hasn't been great really but shufflers will probs come in for him so that takes that one out the picture. S fair point

Cov87 · Jan 29, 2013

Would be good to have him back now, but I would let his loan expire and let him be in the spot light of joy. Might just bring him back in good form to help our push for promotion/play offs. Then he might be good. Was expecting him to be a great signing but so far it hasn't turned out that way. You never know league 2 might be his league.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 29, 2013

I've never felt he offered enough to the team in other areas and his general play to justify a regular place in the team

If he doesn't score what else does he offer or contribute to a match?

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jan 29, 2013

Jason Scotland has just scored 1 minute into his Barnsley debut

Well strikers aren't judged on other things its the goals that count.

Also so far what has Clarke done apart from score that benefits the team?

If Mcdonald scored enough goals to make up for his other faults I would accept it but he hasn't

Whilst he has been with us he has scored 1 in 4 maybe 1 in 5. Not enough for us to justify having to carry him for 4 out of every 5 games

Leon Clarke already has the same number of league goals as Mcdonald, however he is more of a target than Mcdonald. He can play with his back to goal and hold up the ball or get in behind

With the system we play as a striker you can't afford to be a passenger

I never said McDonald had done it I just said that strikers are judged in goals. When does Clarke hold it up though? I have seen in play 3-4 times and he only held it up once in those games. He doesn't need to hold it up as we build from the wings then cut inside

junglej13 · Jan 29, 2013

His goal is truly awful. A child could have scored it. Horrendous goalkeeping.

Agreed, but he did chase it down and put the keeper under pressure.

ps1948 · Jan 30, 2013

I think he only scored due to playing off the second striker

SkyBlueArmy12 · Jan 30, 2013

I find it comical that because he scores on his debut people want him back. To put it bluntly Cody Mcdonald is shit, and in my opinion he always has been since he joined us, he's not a goal threat and his record kind of speak's for itself. Why anyone would want him as "backup" is beyond me. If we need backup I'm sure Robins will bring someone in to suit our style of play.

covcity4life · Jan 30, 2013

let him cotniue his loan,if we get need him we can recall him,for now let him keep going

i find it worrying that some cov fans want him to fail though.

I think he only scored due to playing at his lower level.

Clarke is a striker. He has scored 3 goals in 5 games. According to you strikers are judged on goals. That's how he benefits the team.

ScottChegg · Jan 30, 2013

He's not good enough, he's been given chances and I think MR is right to free up the wages. Something wasn't right....

Stevec189 · Jan 30, 2013

Trouble is McDonald never looked fit. MR has shown hat if you don't step up to the plate and get fit then your out the door. He dropped McSheffrey until he sorted himself out and I'm sure he dropped Fleck since he didn't look fit. Moussa the same. Maybe McDonald needs the motivation of playing every week to get fit but I suspect if he does well, comes back and isn't putting the graft in he will be out the door. A great deal of our improvement is the improved fitness of the players. MR even indicated as much the other week. This was our great failing at the start of the this season IMHO. PUSB!

Steve.B50 · Jan 30, 2013

Very good point Stevec

CODY!!! · Jan 30, 2013

super cody will play some part for us before the seasons out. mark my words

Jonny · Feb 4, 2013

He's currently playing now if anyone is interested, SS1, streams also available.

I think he'll be back at some stage too...blank scoresheet tonight though

Sky Blue Sheepy · Feb 4, 2013

Based on the game on Sky earlier, League 2 is far poorer than some of the games I've enjoyed this year watching Coventry. Teams like MK Dons, Brentford, Swindon etc play a good standard in attacking play. Might sound harsh but unless his record is special at Gillingham then I can't see Robins wasting his time.

skybluenewman · Feb 4, 2013

Cody was completely out of the game today. To be honest i think he is a league 2 player and i would personally welcome a permanent move for him out of the club

RichieGunns · Feb 5, 2013

I personaly wouldn't be bothered if he left.

A very underwhelming and underacheiving player...reminds me of another player we had like that...what was his name...oh yes...Freddie Eastwood!

So I think its time cody moved on!

pusbccfc · Feb 5, 2013

Anyone at the ground think, Codys pace would have got us a goal tonight.

More clinical than Elliott from what we have seen this season (Cody has 3 goals in little games)

I'm sure many will disagree though.
