Hmmm, a curates egg...He's our most skillful player on the ball.
He is our most inconsistent player
He has magic feet
He disappears from games
He scores great goals
He doesn't score enough goals
He is capable of playing at a higher level
He is capable of playing at a higher level for small parts of the game
You can't leave him out of the starting 11
Luv him
You could say some who criticised many things this season may have been a tad hasty but that's another story.The people who were criticising him were idiots
Some people were actually saying we should get rid in the summer
Its all to do with giving creative players freedom to express themselves and now he has he looks quality
No shock to me that he's playing so well
It is either Madine or Simms, personally prefer Simms as much more mobile and maybe if we got promoted one to buy.Gifted player, always had time for him, amazing what a difference it makes playing him where he is good.
We have one or two like this, Mitchell too is so much better attacking than full back, as above, Jerry in the sniffer's role has blossomed.
I really don't see with the Current team and formation where you use Madine, unless it is holding on to a lead for the last 10.
Who doubted him? People were fed up of how inconsistent he was and rightly so. Let's not re-write history here.Hard to understand that so many doubted the lad, his talent has always been there.
Re-write history, are you joking. You go trawl the nonsense that was typed in match threads, he got slaughtered.Who doubted him? People were fed up of how inconsistent he was and rightly so. Let's not re-write history here.
If he performs week in week out, he's a Championship player. But you can't have 1 good game in 12 at League One standard.
Exactly this.i actually questioned his attitude on the pitch as well,it was only a few games ago he was trying to wrestle the ball off Garbutt to take a free kick then pulling a sulk when he didn't get his own way,now when he's on it i doubt there's many better in the league and his most recent form has been brilliant to see so lets hope it continues because we need him to carry it on now until the end of the season.Who doubted him?

Are you telling me he's had better than 1 good game in the first half of this season? I think you're talking rubbish tbh. He got rightly criticised for performances consistently not good enough. And part of that is out of frustration at how good we know he is. And he didn't even reach half of what was expected of him.Re-write history, are you joking.

You‘ve even questioned him in your post - one good game in 12!
As with Jerry, fans far too quick to jump on him, when much of the problem was how we set up and how he was asked to play.
I’m telling you that you need to understand his performances were largely due to how we were set up, the players around him and the role he was given. Plenty of us identified that, and that he needed the shackles off. That’s now happening, and we are getting the best from our most talented player.Are you telling me he's had better than 1 good game in the first half of this season?

Still played massively short of expectations. He was given licence albeit less earlier in the season. And could have played better. We didn't play dour football at the start of the season either, we just weren't creative. We battered Plymouth and lost. He played well against Swindon but after that it's hard to say when else he did.I’m telling you that you need to understand his performances were largely due to how we were set up, the players around him and the role he was given.

No player with his ability would thrive with the style of football we were playing. It was dour and now it’s not.
All about opinions pal, so we‘ll have to disagree on this one.Still played massively short of expectations. He was given licence albeit less earlier in the season. And could have played better.

There is no way on this planet Critch has suddenly said "Oh you can roam a bit more now and be more creative lad". I agree with a change of system but no chance he wasn't given freedom earlier in the season. He was lazy at times, unmotivated and had zero confidence. Now is the complete opposite.
Amen.The people who were criticising him were idiots

Seems pretty unanimous on my side, so I'll take that.All about opinions pal, so we‘ll have to disagree on this one.
He has absolutely been given more license to roam in a more central attacking position. As a left of four mid he had defensive duties to adhere to.Still played massively short of expectations.

Whatever makes you happy.Seems pretty unanimous on my side, so I'll take that.
He's playing pretty much exactly the same position as he has all season.He has absolutely been given more license to roam in a more central attacking position. As a left of four mid he had defensive duties to adhere to.
