sidcow Posted January 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2018 6 hours ago, sne said: Am I right in thinking a large part of his goals has been from set pieces? Yes, nearly all of them. They give way more penalties in The A league than here. And the goals might not be twice as wide but the keepers are not I expect quite the standard they are here. I will give him this though. To score a free kick he has to get it on target, not hit the wall or put it over/wide so that would be a serious improvement. Not sure we can accommodate a free kick specialist though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 McCormack's goals versus Perth Has netted 12 goals now, 2nd in the league this season and equal 5th all time for Melbourne City in the A-League. Has another game coming up on the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He's finding it easy down under. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Unless he has been deemed a disruptive influence on the squad it would make sence to give him another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 His attitude has been great all season, its very easy for a foreign player to come to the A League and cruise their way to a pay cheque. imo would be a useful player to the limited options we have up front at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I still remain convinced that won't happen while Bruce remains in charge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all about Bruce. There were a lot of rumours about McCormack having issues under RDM as well, seemingly was going through some family and personal problems.

Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2018 Still really doesn't make sense why we wouldn't have him in the squad. We had a game where Josh Onomah had to play upfront. Scott Hogan has 1 goal, Davis has 2 or 3. Surely he will be a useful option during a key 4 months. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I kept saying the guy has a proven track record and could do a job in the championship but needs a manager that believes in him. 12 goals in 14 games for Melbourne City. Yes its a lower level but he could have been an asset into the second half of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee fella might be doing well down under but I'd be heartily surprised if we saw him in an english league ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Looks like we are now looking to extend his loan deal until the end of the season. Won't be expecting to see him back anytime soon now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Another thread slowly being turned into it's Bruce's fault. His problems are well documented. Celebrated when they got rid of him at Fulham, nightmare for rdm, nightmare at forest, nightmare for Bruce. Countless people in the game can't all be collectively wrong about the same guy. Very poor and expensive signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted January 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2018 signing him when we did made sense. he had a great record coming here for scoring for fun at this level. unfortunately it hasnt worked out, sometimes they dont. whether bruce could/should give another chance is irrelevant. once the trust is gone its gone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
