Eastie Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If Ross gets his game together he could be a huge asset this season - he's proven quality at this level and hopefully has come back firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it could even feel like signing him again all over - I don't think their is one of us who wasn't pleased when he signed last year- some may consider this a bold statement but in my view a fully fit and focussed McCormack is the best striker at the club - now whether he can reach his previous heights is another question altogether - if so we would in effect have a new signing on our hands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not, the last Scot we put in a bomb squad is still with us 2 contracts later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's easy to forget this is a player who was approaching 30 goals for the past few seasons. He's obviously had his struggles but I think he's worth another shot. Getting in his case does neither him or the club any favours. Come on Ross, show us the lethal, creative player we've seen for the numerous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Great to see him back in the fold. He was my favourite player in those first 10 games under RDM. He was so creative and we were creating so many chances (he led the chances created as well i believe). So he wasnt going that bad even though he didnt get too many goals himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 5, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yep, great to see the olive branch out. A good pre-season and properly integrated, and hopefully we'll see the player we thought we'd bought, and the player who has terrorised this division in the preceding few years. He's awkward to accommodate so he's awkward for opponents to pick up. If we could somehow get him operating effectively behind Kodjia & Hogan then boy oh boy. All these strikers. I'm beginning to sound like Tactical Timothy of Sherwood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 also credit to Bruce for not being a stubborn like previous managers. He could be chip in with some vital goals this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mac sorts himself out.....both parties could be laughing.....the guy does have a football brain. fingers crossed.

On paper, we have the best strikers in the league. I'd hope that Kodjia-Hogan could make themselves into a good partnership with McCormack has Hogan's sub and Gabby as Kodjia's. Then we have the kids sporadically filling in this season. completely agree with that. And in games we are chasing, in a 4-2-3-1 I wouldn't mind seeing (for 20 mins or so at the end of a game at most) Kodjia/Gabby LW, McCormack/Jack ACM, Adomah RW and Hogan up top. he has a place to play in this squad still I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Lost alot of weight of his face and looks in great shape, been putting in the extra yards between the end of last season and preseason apparently. I think he will surprise this season and be up there with Kodija and Hogan in terms of goals. I hope someone teaches him to tie his shoelaces though or he's going to trip over and get injured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to see him looking fit and fired up - quality player . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I know this is a stupid saying, but if Bruce can get Ross fit, Ross will be like a new signing. We forget that Ross has pretty consistently been one of the best players in the championship for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
