Carlton Cole

Squad Number: 9
Position: Striker
Born: 12th Nov 1983, Surrey
Signed: 5th Jul 2006 (£2000000)
Contract: 5 years (signed November 2008)
Previous Club: Chelsea

KUMB Awards: Goal of the Season 2008/09, (runner up) 2009/10; Most Improved Player 2008/09, (runner up) 2007/08, (third place) 2009/10; Worst Player (third place) 2006/07; Worst Signing (third place) 2006/07.

Carlton Cole made his name as a 19-year old at Chelsea when he hit an amazing 37 goals in his first season as a reserve team player.

Since then however his first team chances at Stamford Bridge were severely restricted by Chelsea's extravagant spending policy, and after spending spells on loan at Charlton and Aston Villa put pen to paper on a four-year-contract with the Hammers, after rejecting Spurs.

Cole is well known to many West Ham players due to his involvement with the England under-21 set-up and it is hoped that this will help him settle in quickly to life at The Boleyn.

 

2010/11 Match Notes & Ratings

1-3 v Bolton Wanderers (h) 21st August 2010
by Gordon Thrower

One of those days. Unlucky to find the 'keeper in good form on occasion but the penalty was just awful.

0-3 v Aston Villa (a) 14th August 2010
by Staff Writer

Fairly anonymous, failed to hold the ball up - and when that happens, West Ham rarely play well.

 

2009/10 Match Notes & Ratings

1-1 v Manchester City (h) 9th May 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Struggled throughout before being subbed. Needs a rest and, on this form, he'll get one while the World Cup is on.

2-3 v Fulham (a) 3rd May 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Rotten luck for the og. Good finish for the goal. Not much else.

3-2 v Wigan Athletic (h) 24th April 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Started well but the change of marker from Caldwell to Bramble reduced his effectiveness. Still provided the all-important equaliser for Ilan. Still not anywhere near as effective as he was before his injury lay-off.

1-0 v Sunderland (h) 10th April 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Caused difficulties for the visitors' defence without providing much of an obvious goal threat.

2-2 v Everton (a) 1st April 2010
by Staff Writer

Worked hard today and battled away well. Had a coupled of chances that he failed to take.

0-1 v Stoke City (h) 27th March 2010
by East Stand Martin

The spat with the fans last Tuesday didn't do him any favours, nor did another ineffective performance leading the attack today.

1-3 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (h) 23rd March 2010
by Rob Chapman

Gradually lost confidence – and therefore interest – as the game progressed. Some promising early hold-up play eventually superseded by a ghost of his former self ambling about the pitch aimlessly.

1-3 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (h) 23rd March 2010
by East Stand Martin

Just never in it - and regardless of the level of provocation, shouting at the fans won't do his cause any good.

1-2 v Bolton Wanderers (h) 6th March 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Barely at the races – and continually caught offside.

0-3 v Manchester United (a) 23rd February 2010
by Staff Writer

One to forget for the England hopeful who was marked out of the game by the returning Vidic.

3-0 v Hull City (h) 21st February 2010
by Daniel Prescott

Great goal for the clincher, kept a cool head and slotted past Myhill with quality.

3-0 v Hull City (h) 21st February 2010
by East Stand Martin

On his own admission, his overall performance was not the greatest – however, the finish for his goal was excellent. Hopefully the groin niggle that saw his early departure is nothing too serious.

2-0 v Birmingham City (h) 10th February 2010
by Gordon Thrower

Got better as the game went on and both started and finished the move that gave us the second.

1-2 v Burnley (a) 6th February 2010
by Rob Chapman

A massive bonus having him back in contention. Not quite back to top form, but even a semi-fit Cole is a huge asset. The Burnley defence frequently looked bereft of ideas when it came to dealing with his presence. Welcome back!

0-0 v Blackburn Rovers (h) 30th January 2010
by Gordon Thrower

(Replaced Kovac, 58 mins) Good to see him back. Looked a bit rusty but still caused the odd problem. His most telling contribution though was his goal-line clearance in the second half.

5-3 v Burnley (h) 28th November 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Given that we were 3-0 up at half time when he was withdrawn through injury, I’m hoping his substitution was precautionary in nature. Make that praying.

2-1 v Aston Villa (h) 4th November 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Was looking dangerous until his untimely exit. I’m torn between wanting him back ASAP – doing the usual thing of rushing players back too soon – and letting him rest up until he’s fully recovered. Still our physios know what they’re doing. Don’t they?

2-2 v Sunderland (a) 31st October 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Caused Sunderland all sorts of problems. Picked up another ridiculous booking from a ref who, by that time, had clearly lost the plot.

2-2 v Arsenal (h) 25th October 2009
by Gordon Thrower

The one player on the pitch who never gave up. Thoroughly deserved the goal and whatever MOTM plaudits came his way.

2-2 v Fulham (h) 4th October 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Good header for the goal. Held the ball up well but the lack of support told in the second.

1-3 v Manchester City (a) 28th September 2009
by Hammer John

Our best player. Wasn't great but scored a goal and would have had an assist if it wasn't for a terrible terrible decision by the linesman!

1-3 v Bolton Wanderers (a) 22nd September 2009
by Hammer John

(Replaced Dyer, 75 mins) Made a real diference when he came on, looked a threat.

2-3 v Liverpool (h) 19th September 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Battled manfully against the, usually illegal, attentions of the Liverpool defence. The booking was a complete joke.

0-1 v Wigan Athletic (a) 12th September 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Not one of his better days. Failed to cause the defenders any bother.

0-0 v Blackburn Rovers (a) 29th August 2009
by East Stand Martin

One of those days when little came off for the England striker.

3-1 v Millwall (h) 25th August 2009
by East Stand Martin

Worked tirelessly alone up front. Endured the kind of abuse from our guests that most had thought consigned to history.

1-2 v Tottenham Hotspur (h) 23rd August 2009
by East Stand Martin

The goal was every bit as good as the backpass wasn’t. Appeared as gutted as we were at the end.

2-0 v Wolverhampton Wanderers (a) 15th August 2009

Got stronger as the match wore on – despite developing a worrying limp in the second half. Can claim some credit for the second.

A decent show although chances were few and far between.

 

2008/09 Match Notes & Ratings

2-1 v Middlesbrough (h) 24th May 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Showed what we’d been missing for the last couple of months. Good finish for the goal.

1-0 v Manchester City (h) 21st February 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Excellent. Lead the line really well, held the ball up and was back in defence at the death with a couple of fine headers.

1-2 v Bolton Wanderers (a) 21st February 2009
by John Simkin

An impressive performance considering he did not train all week. Unfortunately, all the good chances fell to his fellow striker.

1-1 v Middlesbrough (h) 14th February 2009
by John Simkin

Injured early on and it was foolish to keep him on the pitch for so long.

1-1 v Middlesbrough (h) 14th February 2009
by East Stand Martin

Was doing ok if nothing spectacular before injury curtailed his afternoon.

0-1 v Manchester United (h) 8th February 2009
by John Simkin

Closely marked by Ferdinand and Vidic but held the ball up well and posed the only real threat to the opposition.

0-1 v Manchester United (h) 8th February 2009
by Gordon Thrower

A constant thorn in the side of the tightest defence n the league at present – Rio was lucky not to walk early on.

0-0 v Arsenal (a) 31st January 2009
by East Stand Martin

Rarely a goalscoring threat, he did however get through a lot of running and, on a day when service was at a premium, that was all you could ask of him really.

0-0 v Arsenal (a) 31st January 2009

0-0 v Arsenal (a) 31st January 2009
by John Simkin

Closely marked by Toure and Gallas he had few opportunities but still managed to get two shots on target.

2-0 v Hull City (h) 28th January 2009
by John Simkin

Scored in his fifth consecutive league game and therefore equalled the club record set by Tony Cottee in the 1985-86 season. Although he missed four other good chances, his all round play makes him one of the most difficult strikers to play against in the Premier League.

2-0 v Hartlepool United (a) 24th January 2009
by John Simkin

Made some good runs and with a little more luck would have scored to keep his run going. Was rightly substituted when Zola made the assessment that the referee might give his robust play a second yellow card.

3-1 v Fulham (h) 18th January 2009
by John Simkin

Kept fairly quiet in the first-half by the impressive Hangeland. However, he proved a real handful in the second-half and showed that he is now full of confidence in front of goal.

2-2 v Newcastle United (a) 10th January 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Great goal and caused no end of problems for the home defence.

3-0 v Barnsley (h) 3rd January 2009
by Gordon Thrower

Caused constant awkwardness to the Barnsley defence and the glancing header was well taken for the goal.

2-1 v Stoke City (h) 28th December 2008
by East Stand Martin

Some of the stick he’s got of late has been ridiculous – one bloke near me had a go when a defender got a brilliant block on him. He missed harder chances than the one it took, it has to be said, and there are times when he could make more of an effort in chasing down defenders. The goal was excellent though.

Failed to cause too many problems for the Pompey defence – I expected him to look a little hungrier after his enforced absence.

1-3 v Bolton Wanderers (h) 5th October 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Took the goal well but lacked support.

2-1 v Fulham (a) 28th September 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Held the ball up well and gave the home defence a hard time.

3-1 v Newcastle United (h) 20th September 2008
by Alex Shilling

The team revolved around him today, he was at the centre of every good chance we had,

3-1 v Newcastle United (h) 20th September 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Held the ball up superbly and, whilst he didn’t score, he worked his socks off throughout.

2-3 v West Bromwich Albion (a) 13th September 2008
by East Stand Martin

Worked like a trojan as always, it's just a shame that his final ball is all too often lacking.

4-1 v Blackburn Rovers (h) 30th August 2008
by East Stand Martin

Like Behrami he had to wait til the death to receive his reward but the goal was a fitting way to cap a decent performance.

4-1 v Blackburn Rovers (h) 30th August 2008
by Gordon Thrower

First touch sometimes lacking but battled constantly despite being the victim of sometimes appalling refereeing from Riley.

4-1 v Macclesfield Town (h) 27th August 2008
by Graeme Howlett

(replaced Sears, 58) An excellent performance - scored a poachers goal and had about six shots (all on target and generally well hit). One great chest trap and volley on the run, and he is very quick; if only we could pass the ball in a way that would allow him to run onto it sometimes...

0-3 v Manchester City (a) 24th August 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Ran down a few blind alleys. Lost the ball a few times. Got injured. Went Off.

0-3 v Manchester City (a) 24th August 2008
by Alex Shilling

Worked hard all over the pitch until injured. Hopefully not serious.

2-1 v Wigan Athletic (h) 16th August 2008
by Nick Bull

Worked very hard throughout though it is perhaps notable that his most telling contributions came from defensive work.

by Graeme Howlett

Did well to set up one of Ashton's strikes but offered little threat in front of goal.

 

2007/08 Match Notes & Ratings

2-2 v Aston Villa (h) 10th May 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Zamora, 73) Failed to make an impression.

1-4 v Manchester United (a) 3rd May 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Ashton, 56) Put himself about a bit to little effect.

1-4 v Manchester United (a) 3rd May 2008
by Alex Shilling

(replaced Ashton, 56) Not bad, although Ashton shouldn't have come off. Did his usual role, and performed it well. Very impressed with his attitude and the way he's performed this season.

2-2 v Newcastle United (h) 26th April 2008
by Alex Shilling

(replaced Zamora, 68) Performed the same role that Zamora was playing but to greater effect. It worked in the last home game when Sears was replaced, it nearly worked here.

2-2 v Newcastle United (h) 26th April 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Zamora, 68) Not bad – some nice link-up play in the second half.

2-1 v Derby County (h) 19th April 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Sears, 74) Made one very telling and important touch. And a few more ordinary ones.

0-1 v Portsmouth (h) 8th April 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Mullins, 73) A few good runs down the left though you’d rather have had him in the middle.

1-2 v Sunderland (a) 29th March 2008
by Gordon Thrower

One decent effort but didn’t look 100% fit throughout. Very harshly booked yet again – you do wonder why referees seem to target him.

0-4 v Tottenham (a) 10th March 2008
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Zamora, 77) Failed to make much of an impression.

0-4 v Chelsea (h) 1st March 2008
by Gordon Thrower

It said a lot about the so-called international class of Terry that he was reduced to bear hugging Cole every time the ball was played to him. Unlucky not to get a penalty.

1-0 v Fulham (a) 23rd February 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Was getting a lot of unmerited stick from one or two supporters. Had four attempts on goal. The first three were difficult but he ought to have done a lot better with the header.

1-1 v Birmingham City (h) 9th February 2008
by East Stand Martin

Ran around a lot to no avail.

1-0 v Wigan Athletic (a) 2nd February 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Had a game which was, for the most part, equally as poor as Ashton’s, though if he lost the ball at least he tried to get the thing back.

1-0 v Liverpool (h) 30th January 2008
by East Stand Martin

Battled gamely and caused his usual nuisance to the defenders without ever really looking like he was going to score.

by Gordon Thrower

Not quite at the races today. Should have scored in the first half when bustling his way through as he does best.

0-0 v Manchester City (h) 5th January 2008
by Jacob Steinberg

He got better as the game went on after initially struggling and became so confident he was pulling off flicks and tricks.

0-0 v Manchester City (h) 5th January 2008
by Gordon Thrower

Always busy, he kept the City defence busy without ever really looking like scoring.

0-2 v Arsenal (a) 1st January 2008
by Gordon Thrower

I felt quite sorry for him. Playing a lone striker works well only if the midfield support the striker. This happened to a certain extent in the first half but hardly at all in the second. Tried his heart out though.

2-1 v Manchester United (h) 29th December 2007
by East Stand Martin

Ran his legs off and held the line well. Gave the other Ferdinand brother an awkward time throughout.

2-1 v Manchester United (h) 29th December 2007
by Jacob Steinberg

He linked well on his own up front, ran after every ball and won his fair share in the air- but his header was poor and he still needs to work on his finishing.

1-1 v Reading (h) 26th December 2007
by Jacob Steinberg

He did well to retrieve the situation for the goal, but was otherwise let down by a poor first touch.

0-2 v Everton (h) 15th December 2007
by Jacob Steinberg

He gave the team a target to aim for, but was clearly playing with an injury.

0-2 v Everton (h) 15th December 2007
by Gordon Thrower

One decent run in the first half but clearly this was a game too much for his injury.

0-1 v Chelsea (a) 1st December 2007
by Gordon Thrower

Caused problems all the way through for the Chelsea defence who resorted to the bear-hug tactic to keep him quiet. The shirt is his to lose at the moment.

1-1 v Tottenham (h) 24th November 2007
by Gordon Thrower

Another excellent run-out. Not the hardest goal he’ll ever score but it was well deserved. Unfortunate to come up against Riley at his most perverse and should really think about suing!

5-0 v Derby County (a) 10th November 2007
by Gordon Thrower

Superb. Being the only fit striker in the club has meant him operating as a lone striker out of necessity. This match saw how he has grown into the role in recent weeks. Another Bywater save denied him the goal that his movement and effort deserved.

0-1 v Aston Villa (a) 6th October 2007
by Alex Shilling

(replaced Camara, 36) Best work ethic in the whole squad; he tried and tried. I just wish the fans would get off his back.

0-1 v Aston Villa (a) 6th October 2007

(replaced Camara, 36) Missed three good chances - our best of the game. Gets into good positions but needs to work on his finishing.

3-0 v Middlesbrough (h) 15th September 2007
by Gordon Thrower

(replaced Bellamy, 26) Nothing went right for him in the first half but he was bizarrely effective in the second, playing a major part in all three goals. Sadly, when given a gilt edged chance to make it four he failed to capitalize.

3-0 v Reading (a) 1st September 2007
by Jacob Steinberg

(replaced Ashton, 64) On for Ashton, he was average- which is a compliment. It got to his head a bit and he tried a backheel to Etherington. It was interesting.

3-0 v Reading (a) 1st September 2007

(replaced Ashton, 64) Surprisingly half-decent run-out – though he perhaps ought to have bagged a couple.

3-3 v Fulham (h) 13th January 2007

Despite the header for goal #1, he puts himself about a lot less than Marlon. Footballing brain sometimes lacking, too.

3-3 v Fulham (h) 13th January 2007
by Jacob Steinberg

Lacks quality and vision- but he's awkward, set up a goal and tries hard. I think he was holding his hamstring as the lone striker, perhaps explaining the less than 100% effort then though...

The big man was rewarded for a decent showing in Palermo by being handed the chance to partner Carlos Tevez in the classic 'little and large' front line. Although he held the ball up well from Roy Carroll's bombs he struggled to become involved to any degree.

(Replaced Zamora, 83) Disgraceful. He has now gone about seven minutes without a goal! Not really given much time to influence things.

(Replaced Zamora, 83) Alan Pardew was perhaps hoping that Cole would repeat his heroics of Saturday when he scored after being on the pitch for less than 30 seconds. Sadly it wasn't to be.

(Replaced Harewood, 90+2) Good goal, but anything more than a six is too much since his game lasted for two minutes.

(Replaced Harewood, 90+2) 24 seconds after coming on he had scored his first goal for the club. Not a bad record.
