Grego-Cox in pace shocker 20:51 - May 16 with 3446 viewsbosh67

Big shout out for the kid. 18 years old and scared the living sh*t out of the Newcastle back four second half. How long have we been crying out for a player with genuine pace?

He's raw but what he did so well was run channels, taking defenders with him. He outpaced everyone with some ease and he finally allowed Fer and Austin to play.

Hammersmith boy. Mad QPR fan. Brilliant. That's what our club is all about.

I can see him scaring the living daylights out of teams next season.

Never knowingly right.

Absolutely. He changed the game when he came on.

He was full of energy & that made all the difference to us in the second half.

Hopefully he will start next week. Furlong & Doughty starting would be nice too!

Is this not reliant on having a manager who is prepared to play the youth... a youth that so many say arent up to it?

Yep changed the game for me , very raw and needs a better first touch but still a better option than Zamora , good luck to the lad

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Quite a good leap on him as well - Made a big difference

But you can totally understand why the superior guile and footballing intelligence of Hoilett and SWP have been preferred to Grego-Cox's callow promise all season. May he continue to learn from their astute sense of movement, calmness in front of goal and general dynamism. He could be some player!

I like these pre slag off threads.

I expect by Chrismas he'll be getting the Wright Phillips treatment.

I noticed that too. Several times there were shades of Helguson. He's about 5 foot 7 but has a two foot jump on him. He out jumped several players seven inches taller than him more than once to win headers.

Never knowingly right.

Shame we didn't see a bit more of him when we still had something to play for in retrospect. The lad may not be near ready yet but we could have at least done with someone making a nuisance of themselves and setting the tone Mackie-style.

Wont play next week.

Excited for his prospects. Hoping one of the about pros can give him some tips on timing his runs, if he can figure that out he's going to be good for us. Might just have been excitability mind you!

He needs to learn how to bend his runs to stay onside but he was only just off that time today. It'll come quickly.

Not really.

Our game influences nothing with us down and Leicester safe.

Reminds me of Antonio German, bright but heavy touches. Let's hope he doesn't end up the same way...

Back to GC ...
Plus points
1/ has pace
2/ gave us another dimension when he came on

Minus points
1/ needs to bulk up a bit... Would really help his game
2/ first touch needs improving

Lets not go overboard about this lad,yes he looked pacy when he came on but he clearly has a lot to learn.
Compared to toilet he was awesome but a corpse would have been an improvement on him.
Good changes by Ramsey at ht but you have to question that starting line up.
Newcastle played into our hands 2nd half by over commiting to attack which gave us space to run into we wouldn't normally have.
We took advantage but those two teams would struggle in the championship on that performance.

if he is that promising/good we will send him to Barnet on a season long loan and get some 30 odd arthritic winger to take his place

Ran around a lot and that in itself is something of a novelty.

Would like to see him in front of goal one-on-one against the keeper. I accept the chances of that happening are currently slim.

Except he's a striker so isn't competing for those players positions

He did very well, but he's still raw and will need time to adapt, especially physically. What it proves is that any pace whatsoever would help stretch the opposition and allow our creative players to get involved and play. Something we've lacked for the best part of two-years and you realise quickly when you see things like this, that players with legs and energy (like Jamie Mackie) would have made a big difference.

I thought Alex McCarthy's kicking was a real factor for us, as he was able to drop the ball right into the danger area where Charlie Austin lurked, and if it fell to a second ball, we were often then challenging in two v two or three v three scenarios and looked far more threatening as a result. These small details can a big difference, and in the Championship, that's certainly an approach that's prominent in that division and one we should look to work on and exploit.

Didn't think he looked too comfortable in possession when challenged. Thought Bruno Andrade looked more the part, a while back, but he seems to have gone off the radar.

I thought his kicking under pressure was terrible! But I put that down to nerves of being dropped into a game without warning.
