I know the general opinion is that Steve Cook will leave at the end of season but today walking back to the car I heard his name mentioned as many times as Madsen and Kone in a massively positive light. Have to say the whole back 4 looked stronger without the madness at RB.
Van Dyke is the same age as Steve Cook and still near the top of his game, Cook’s reading of the game is brilliant and we have another captain on the pitch.
Wonder whether the extension also had a number of games played rollover. I know I am in the minority but I would keep him, I’ve also been to enough away games to know his standards don’t drop |  | | |  |

Extraordinary criticism of Cook based on a couple of gesticulations. I love Dunne and think he's a great captain, but I will never understand why some Rangers fans are so quick to criticise Cook any opportunity they can get.
Cook doesn't use social media the same way as Jimmy, so unless you have inside knowledge maybe Cook was hosting team building soirees all through his captaincy? |
I have called Cook out on this from Day 1, it is not behaviour becoming of a Captain, especially in a team likely to be at the wrong end of the table,
I expect a senior pro & Captain to take responsibility, motivate & show leadership to the lesser able & younger players,
I've seen Dunne tell him to fxxk-off before but how did Walsh & Bennie feel yesterday after getting that reaction?
Cook is a decent player, no doubt a model pro, came here for a payday and has covered his wages,
From the early days of his hospital balls to Kakay, not showing for a return pass, passing to Dunne to step-up with the ball rather than do so himself, and particularly always looking to blame others for his mistakes, I see a player who plays for himself and not a leader of our club.
Just a different opinion. | | | |

I’ll take all that with the largest pinch of salt as I think you aren’t a very good judge of a player generally, as shown by your blind obsession with Lyndon Dykes and obstinate defence of him even when he was at his very worst (and I liked Dykes). |  | | |

A video I saw on Twitter taken from the Coventry end yesterday explains why an opinion I have long held is that Cook should not be our Captain and Dunne is an excellent candidate,
We conceded a goal yesterday to a worldie of a cross, should Walsh have come? was it Edwards man? was it Bennie's man? in reality it was just quality piece of play and no-one was at fault,
Cook as his way, immediately starts looking for a scape-goat, throwing his arms up in the air, angrily gesticulating at others, something he's done since Day 1 at our club, be it his mistake or Ossie Kakay's, who-ever, Cook always plays the blame game,
Dunne by comparison is a team player and a QPR man in a way Cook is not, hence getting Madsen & other overseas players out for coffee & / or a few beers in Chiswick regularly, something crucial in helping us get the best out of these players,
Cook's playing well for sure, Dunne is a better Captain. |
Hope you warmed up before making a reach that big, you could strain something |  | | |

Saw Teddy Sheringham explaining Gyokeres role & value to the Arsenal team the other day, even though he's missing chances and scoring very few goals,
Not being a smart arse but it was word for word what I saw Dykes role being for us, as Clarke saw his role for Scotland,
It was'nt a blind obsession, it was a fear that without that type of player in a bottom 8 Championship Squad of players we would get relegated, I think we were fortunate not to when we ended up with Frey & Sinclair leading our line,
Defended Dunne to the hilt when the consensus of many on this forum was he could'nt play Centre Half, I mean, who could with Dozzell as your CDM,
Said at the time Dunne is a player we should build our Squad around as 100% committed and a great club man, watch Cook's reaction yesterday when we conceded, I'm not sure it did Walsh & Bennie's confidence much good. | | | |

I mean insinuating Cook might be even 1% responsible for Kakay playing in the Slovakian leagues is certainly an opinion…. | | | |

You don't go and sign a £4m CB to then offer a new contract to a soon to be 35yo. Sorry, not going to happen with Nourry in charge. | |

Just saw the QPR short on YouTube.
What the heck happened to cook's face? He either got in a fight, had a shaving mishap or the pitch is that bad.
My god... bloke looked like Freddy Kruger |  | | |

Some players last longer than others. He is still playing great. Keep for another season. | | | |

He got kicked in the face against Wrexham if memory serves. Got treatment and was straight back on. | | | |

Back to his best. We lose him at our own peril. I had the same foot injury he had and it took ages, but he seems to have shaken it off. 35 in a few months and still very comfortable at this level. 91 games for the club. If he keeps playing like this then def another season in him. |
When I read he had plantar fasciitis as his injury I thought that might be it (can take years to clear up) but he was back in weeks!! | | | |

Haha, that's one way of reading it,
We've likely all played in teams with players far better than us and a few far weaker than us,
If I know my right-back is positionally suspect, prone to a rush of blood etc, when I play him the ball I'm giving him the first option for the return pass,
Cook when passing to Kakay, Dunne whoever rarely does this, which is why I've never seen a real team player in him by comparison to Dunne,
I posted in response to a post comparing the two as Captain material, watch Cooks reaction to Bennie, Walshy (maybe Edwards & Dunne?) for Coventrys goal
And compare that to how Dunne is always the first to congratulate his Goalkeeper on a good save, a new lad scoring his 1st goal etc
One of the reasons I always posted in defence of Dunne, he's here for the team & us, you can build a team around characters like him. | | | |

Also took a boot to the face in front of the school end against Coventry |  | | |
