Cook's problem with us (other than laziness and consequent lack of fitness) was that he was generally played as a target man and just wasn't up to the job. He wasn't much cop at holding up the ball and laying it off, didn't win too many headers with his back to goal and generally didn't look strong enough to cope with big defenders. Would have been a better player if he'd put some work in at the gym as I always thought half a stone of muscle around his upper body would have made him a different prospect to deal with.

However, if he couldn't even be bothered to train hard enough to get match fit, he was never going to put the extra graft in elsewhere. From what we saw of him last season, it didn't appear much had changed since he left us though he's again got a good goal return so obviously has some ability. I suppose a lot depends on how much effort he is willing to put into training.

Pouton might not be around but god how we could do with a him or cunnington type in the middle of the park. Box to box, great engine, excellent tackler and an eye for a goal as well. That was pretty much dizza up until the last 12/18 months but not now he has had to change his game.

Agree with this, Alan is one of my favourite Town players alongside Paul Groves (2 legends!)


Grimsby and proud!

Did well to bang in so many goals playing for Barrow. If Tranmere play to his strengths he may well do well for them.

But we need to be looking at far higher quality players.
