If he doesn't score after 2 games , he'll get put on the wing and doomed for ever

Looks like a decent prospect, lets hope he can find his feet in the championship quickly.

the marking will be tighter in our league and the pace will be faster, however there is enough on display there and different types of finsihing to look pretty promising.

A nice range of goals, tap ins, bullet headers, one and one, solo efforts.

Can score with either his left or his rights and also scores quite a few with his head!

We'ss soon train this out of him

Looks promising (better than our other options to play alongside Juke anyway!)

He'll also get slagged off by the majority of fans too.

Looks very very good in the air despite not being the biggest. Rather Speedie-esque in that sense.

Also, looks to be very quick, and gets stuck in where it hurts, with some reasonable skills when in front of the keeper.

I think he'll be a huge success, so he probably will be sold at the end of the season.imp:

He looks like he isn't afraid to have a go, I have noticed the last few seasons we have only had King or Eastwood that aren't afraid to have a pop from outside the box at every chance they get. It is frustrating sometimes when somebody gets it on the D with a chance to shoot but they spray it out to the winger to get a cross in.

I think that's abit unfair on AT, he's generally put players where they should play (within reason due to injuries). I can't imagine he'll put him out wide in the formations we tend to play now. Just fingers crossed he can build a partnership with juke.

Doesn't look bad at all. I'd say a mix of Huckerby, Aloisi and Eastwood. Would like us to get a decent winger on loan to get some ball into him and Juke.

Looks like he enjoys playing football - scores for fun using a variety and range of skills.

Very impressed with number of headed goals - not seen that since big Dion.

Although drifting slightly to the flanks on occasions always ready to cut back in and have a pot even from the tightest of angles

This variety of goal scoring ensures he is not a one trick pony therefore his markers can expect the unexpected which augers well in the goalscoring stakes

As previously stated he has operated primarily two leagues below but if you have that built in knack it should manifest itself in our league to a large extent

His style of play/physique/mobility is very similar to the great Kevin Philips and that can't be a bad comparison

Finally I hope AT's diamond formation can create even more chances than the traditional 4-4-2 and assist in making Cody a cult figure at CCFC

This is two leagues higher and it's showing.

He has been an absolute bag of shit since he joined...sorry Cody, we want you to be a success, of course we do, but when Clive Platt is keeping you out of the team...ffs!

what a pointless thread, this is from league 2. one level above non league, this is a player who couldnt get in norwichs league 1 side so went out on loan after they got promoted to the championship, clutching at straws springs to mind, u might aswell put up platts goals in league 2 for mk dons, or robbie simpsons for cambridge. i bet norwich love it when we come calling, cody 400,000 , david bell 400,000 ouch

Are we saying that Mcdonald should be half decent next season in league 1? If he was brilliant in League 2, crap in the Championship then he must be half decent in league 1?
