Great to see him finally a top flight goal scorer. |  |

He scored 8 goals (no penalties) before Christmas in his last season before the injuries bit again. I think he played more in his last two seasons than he had in his first three. |
If that’s the case I’m getting my seasons mixed up and I apologise, I seem to remember a season where he played the majority of games but only scored 4 in open play. It’s possible it was his penultimate season if I’m incorrect.
Apologies if it comes across as misleading. |  | | |

I’m sure his final season was the one when a Cardiff player (Loovens?) attempted a live castration on him in around November, which the clown Stroud missed. Up to then, McG had been in good form. [Post edited 12 Jul 2020 14:56]

It was Sheffield Wednesday but otherwise the post is correct. I don't know how he missed that. |  |

I remember the tackle and subsequent injury, I stand by my assessment but I accept not many of our support stand with me on this one. | | | |

That’s it.... knew it was Loovens, couldn’t remember who he was playing for.
Wasn’t it the game that useless lump up-front got a very late equaliser? Nhihu? | |

Yep, about 5 minutes into stoppage time in a game with no stoppages. Felt rather hard done by I must say. | |

McGoldrick's fitness and consistency since leaving have to raise big questions about how he was managed here.
I know this isn't a new question, but it really jars for me that we got so little from him in the last few seasons. |
Throughout his time with us he continued living in Nottingham. That’s a hell of a commute. Sheffield is a lot closer to home and his injury record improves dramatically. That’s more than a coincidence in my book. Personally if somebody was paying me £750k per year, I would have thought about moving closer to my employer if it was affecting my ability to do my job.
Roy Keane was an idiot at many levels, but his insistence that players lived close to the club now makes sense. |  |

I've just looked this up as I really wasn't sure that you were correct.
Here is David McGoldrick's entire goal scoring record for Ipswich Town...
2012-13 (on loan)
13 appearances, 4 goals
2013-14,
31 appearances, 14 goals
2014-15,
26 appearances, 7 goals
2015-16,
24 appearances, 4 goals
2016-17
30 appearances, 5 goals
2017-18
22 appearances, 6 goals
146 appearances, 40 goals in total, not a great return for a striker that is amongst the top earners in your squad.
But yeah, he did this on a few occasions, so I understand why the fans go all gooey over him...

He’d scored zero goals in 25 games for Sheffield United this year prior to the weekend, and yet their fans would wax lyrical about him
His time here was up sadly - we couldn’t justify continuing to pay a large salary (in our terms) for someone that was injured so regularly and that money could theoretically have been invested elsewhere. Plus with Waghorn, Garner and Sears in the squad we had a decent selection of options until mini-Roy got his hands on the squad
I also do agree that there were times here when he was in and out of the side with injury and struggled to get up to speed. However it was still obvious what a class act he was - and an absolute joy to watch compared to pretty much anyone else to have graced our turf in the last decade |  |

Aye, he's undoubtedly naturally talented and enjoyable to watch.
I don't disagree with anything you've said there, I guess I'm just always surprised just quite how how esteem our support hold him in.
He roughly averaged about 24 games and 6 goals a season, I think he had great ability but for the money he was on I want a bit more from our striker than the do a few neat turns and lollypops.
Still, I appreciate I'm in the minority on this. | | | |

You realise he didn't actually live in Nottingham and commute daily? A lot of footballers have their main family base elsewhere and go there on their days off.
If Chrisophe Berra had a day off he'd drive to Stansted and fly to Edinburgh and back for the day to visit his daughter. Even the manager would do similar, and it is only recently that lambert has moved his family down to the area.
But they are still based here, they don't drive back and forth after training every day. |  |

He may not have driven down daily but the difference in playing records is there for all to see. Coincidence? I think not. | |

It could be a coincidence though. that's how they work.
Maybe I've got this wrong but seemed as if McGoldrick had a couple of long-term spells on the sidelines and we always tried to get him back as quickly as possible which sometimes led to problems.
But he wasn't a sick note when he was up and running as far as I remember. So it's no surprise or much of a coincidence that in a couple of seasons at Sheff Utd he's avoided the major injuries he got with us in 5 and a half seasons. |  |

Well yes, it is much more likely to be a coincidence or linked to something more relevant.
A couple of 2.5 hour drives a week is hardly a big deal | |

I believe he also had injury issues with Nottingham Forrest? | | | |
