    i have always maintained that Carlton Cole has the ability to be one of the top English strikers, and i still believe that.

    watched the game last night, and was impressed by cole!

    coventry played some great football and were unlucky to lose. the ref (guess who it was) made some dodgy decisions as well!

    always did have the ability... i also rate him too.

    I have a hammer fan here at work and he reckons he's not got a game head.
    He loses concentration and forgets why he is on the pitch... not quite a choker but not a Mark Hughes either.

    I'd agree...and I'm not saying he does'nt give it his all, he just doesn't have a "game head" and that goes for when he was with us too...

    also noticed on talksports coverage that they slated Styles for his whistle happy refereeing of the game. Ring any bells.

    I rate Carlton Cole as well shame he's such a

    I remember Cole giving the Arsenl defence the run around at Highbury a few years back - bags of ability & potential but I suspect a spice boy attitude

    gave Campbell severe trouble that day. How old is he ? He must only be 23 still ?

    Ruined Campbell that day, him and Paolo at their best.

    Worked hard last night, and certainly has ability, but I'd need a lot more convincing about his attitude. Many in the game have questioned it. Great for Deano that after being let down at Pompey, he's still playing at a good level (and above us at the moment!).

    Carlton Cole has a poor first touch, which loses him the ball way too much in games against any teams that close down quickly.

    I never thought I'd see so many of you have a love-in for Carlton Cole....!

    The reception he got at The Valley when we beat Villa 3-0 a while ago was priceless.
    Every time he touched the ball (about 5 times) he was slaughtered by the crowd.

    Now you all want to get intimate. ;o)

    Oggy, it was me that started the 'you only sweat when you're roasting' chant. One of my better ones. If i can think of anything that slates an opposition player during the game i will, but i still think there is an amazing amount of untapped potential there.

    my boy was mascot that day, very funny watching him do shuttle run warm up with Carlton Cole, Keith Peacock let him do the full warm up with the team as his lips were blue!

    2-0 down by the time we took our seats though, nearly went home!!!

    Snowed towards the end if memory serves correct
