Libor Kozak

[UK Redsox]

I just wish Barclays had fixed him earlier.

I Rate him as well but your comment is a bit derivative of ones I've made before 

[Tuscans]

So does anyone know if he actually picked up a knock or was it purely for tactical reasons and was unlucky to make the match day squad?

Or is he off on loan as rumoured.

[mr underhill]

a loan would be best for him to get regular games and boost his fitness but I'd hate to see him go out if someone else isn't coming in

[villadelph]

Strange there's been no information to come out about it.. I mean, for sitting out a year and a half the guy put plenty of the balls in the back of the net thus far to warrant a first-team place for a club that "can't score". When is the loan-out deadline?

[Nastylee]

Following the amount of time he's missed, I think it's going to take more than a couple of goals and indifferent performances in friendlies before we can say he's back.

He could go out on loan to the championship for a month after the deadline due to the laughingly termed and much abused 'emergency loan' system couldn't he?

[oldtimernow]

What's this guy going to have to do to get some game time?

He's the forgotten man , no mention on here since August so are we just as bad?

I think he might be better suited to bringing other players in to play than say Ayew or Gestede

[Gregorys Boy]

Very much the forgotten man. If he is fit then he is due a game and fast.  He showed a couple of seasons ago what he could do and would provide a good target for the wingers/midfielders to aim for.

Had he shagged Sherwoods wife or something?  I can't think of a valid reason for him not to be getting a look in when we seem so short of viable options up front.

But its no different than the way Lambert shut out Bent.  Anytime you have a change in manager you have a change in ideas.  Because Kozak was not a Sherwood signing and he doesn't know much about him then he is always going to go with his own players or ideas.  The same way as Lambert was being too stuborn over Bent, Sherwood is being too stuborn with Kozak.  Its just the nature of managers sadly.

Probably doesn't help his cause that TS spent the best part of 12-15 mil on Gestede and Ayew so will play them ahead of him ...

@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC 2-1 #BHAFC - GOAL - 90mins: Villa lead! Kinsella is brought down in the box, up steps Kozak to fire home from the spot. #BU21PL

Unfortunately, neither of them appear to be better players than Kozak.

[Matt Collins]

He's had so long out. It may genuinely be lack of readiness. But I'd put him on the bench ahead of Ayew at the moment. I don't think Tim will for obvious reasons.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I mentioned after the Notts County match that when he came on, he changed the game. He was training before pre-season and scored 3 goals in the run in. I hope Sherwood is not doing the "he is not my player" syndrome I suspect he done with Gil. Then realising, he is just what the team needs ......
