For the those of you who have decided to make Cox the new 'boo boy' target, especially those that don't actually go to games, then pause these highlights at 41 seconds and look where he is then watch Fortune have a needless extra (bad) touch.

For those of you he think Coker can do no wrong pause the play on around 52 seconds right at the start of the throw. See how far away he is from Worrall. Someone on the train tried to blame Will but you can see he is trying to do 2 jobs. Good finish from their lad but once he was passed Will someone should have come out to block his shot.

The criticism of Cox is embarrassing and unfortunately shows a complete lack of understanding from some football fans - yes he hasn't scored 20 goals yet, but he's only just started playing with 2 up top recently (excluding him and Mooney as that never worked) and scored and got an assist in the 2 games prior to Friday.

Personally, I still think he is a decent signing at this level and I'm baffled by these so called prolific strikers we should be signing, as guess what folks, if they were that prolific they wouldn't be in League One playing for us!!!

Pretty sure Stan Collymore wasn't that prolific when we signed him (and there are a few more in that category), was that a poor signing as well

Bl**dy hell, if he'd have rolled that first time across the six yard box, that would have been a tap in! .. It would have been easier to do that what he did do! .. Regardless of whether he knew Cox was there or not, that's still a better ball than the one he did play! .. The defender in shot was on his heels and wouldn't have blocked the first time cross/pass.

Cox was in exactly the same position at Sheffield United and Ranger rolled the ball across the six yard box first time for him to tap home! .. It's all about being aware.

Not sure it's helpful to compare a young player on the up with one in the twilight of his career but if you really want to, by the time he had made the same number of appearances as Cox has, Stanley had scored a dozen goals.

The best I've seen from Cox is some intelligent, incisive passing.

I suggest you read my post correctly as I wasn't comparing Cox and Collymore; I was making a point about people always wanting us to sign a prolific goalscorer, yet over the years most of our successful strikers weren't prolific before they came here

I take it you haven't seen the first Goal at MK Dons then

You rightly say that Collymore wasn't prolific before he came here (well not after he left Stafford). Cox was also not prolific when he came here. I was just extrapolating what happened next. Collymore instantly became prolific; Cox didn't.

Correct, I'm talking about games I've seen live.

Didn't show the one that Mclaughlin really should have done better with or the forearm smash on Wordsworth when he was breaking on goal?

Or Oxley's save and their one-on-one. Not sure if its deliberate policy for Sky and the BBC to continuously not show the best bits. Is it something to do with Blues player ?

Oxley's one handed save was the most impressive moment in the game as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Oxley's one handed save was the most impressive moment in the game as far as I'm concerned.

Have to agree, he didn't put a foot wrong during this game, previous games I have worried a bit about him, that said Goalkeeper must be one the most difficult positions to settle in properly due to the fact you are constantly under the microscope, and every error can be costly, add to that who he replaced..... I will cut him some slack.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Yep, Oxley made some great decisions during the game.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Sucker punch of a goal, and one that should not have been conceded, why did no one close him down when Romeo's intention was clear?

Son of Jazzy B !

'Fariplay' to the lad !!

The Ox has to be the most improved player in the last 4 / 5 games... Confidence is his ally.

He certainly brought Millwall 'Back to Life'!

Recall seeing Soul II Soul at Basildon Festival Hall BITD, pre-commercial days and pre Bas Vegas, used to be a great music venue, I digress...

 

[AndyT]

Saw them, back in the day, when Caron Wheeler toured with them.

Read only recently about Lamya, who sang lead on 'Love come through' and Doreen Waddell who sang lead on 'Happiness'. Both died at a young age in tragic circumstances.

Because Coker was knackered and McLaughlin had been subbed!
