He does other more important things on the field that make him far more valuable than people realise. Hitting the scoreboard being the obvious one that can't be overlooked.
Indeed!

No matter what you may think about Gorringe and his present limitations, hitting the score board has been a real positive. He usually kicks the ball well and straight. Not many of our forwards in recent years can make the same claim.
Live Long and Prosper!

In some ways he's a bigger version of Everitt. During the pre-season I speculated that we could only play one or the other but I was definitely on the wrong track there.

To digress, i thought 1AW found some form too though he still tries for way too many speccies!
How many times did we have 3 or 4 fly for the mark in the forward line? Too many imo.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

re: Gorringe.....Bolton will have to decide if he wants two specialist ruckman ie Kruezer and Philips or have the flexibility of Gorringe and Casboult to support Kruezer.
I dont rate either Gorringe or Casboult as great ruckman and its more about giving Kruezer a rest than gaining any advantage in the ruck or though Casboult gives you marking ability around the ground and some size.
Philips is a steady ruckman who has done well IMO and you know what you are getting...Gorringe is like a bigger Everitt as someone suggested and has that X factor/upside tag as you are not sure week to week what you will get unlike Philips....
I'd like to see Gorringe stay in the team and see if he can improve both his ruckwork and consistency...some of his handball is creative and he gives me the impression he could kick a bag of goals he if worked hard and tried to learn more about forward play....
The time to experiment is now while we are in a learning phase and just for the moment I would give Gorringe a few more games and see how far he can go with his development, if he doesnt work out then you have the reliable Philips to come back into the team..

I thought Walks was very good and I loved it when he turned Hendo inside out and strolled in for a goal. He is another that seems to play better when he is a touch aggro and I suspect that the Bolton way will suit him.
I think I only counted two speccy attempts but there were several occasions when all of the forwards near the contest were flying and we missed easy crumbers' goals as a result.

1AW has definitely improved as the year has progressed and is currently a good contributor. However, I wonder how many more years he has left in him? I think Gorringe would be an option to eventually replace him in the forward structure and we should definitely take the opportunity to continue his development. Alternatively he might be an option as a tall on ball type like Blicavs.

In all the talk post game, one theme that has reoccurred is the fact that the 'back six' is looking extremely settled. Plowman, Touy, Rowe, Simpson, Dougherty, Weitering, Thomas ......and Byrne ready to be reinstated. Unfortunately the name Michael Jamieson seems to be a thing of the past.

IMO Jamo is done unfortunately and will see out the remainder of the year, and CFC career, as a backup player, having achieved his 150th. All good things eventually come to an end.
