Agree with that but McCarthy might see it the other way round. ie hoofball so Madine starting and then being replaced with a footballer.We need Poveda, Rogers, Bowler & Yates on the pitch for the majority of that and every game until the end of the season.
Can you also fit Madine into that?
I don’t think so.
Does Madine have a role to play in getting us out. Probably. But it’s probably as a last throw of the long ball dice in a bad spot. We need to create goals with the players I mentioned at the top.
Gary will probably reading Sartre on the sunbed as we speak.Can he read?
If we keep it on the deck we've got every chance!No, I wouldn't want to disrupt the new found form we've discovered after beating Stoke 3-0 and then trouncing Blackburn away 3-1 so I'd make him Gary gamechanger as an option off the bench.
He will be off at the end of the season as he is a striker who rarely scores, let's down the club with his indiscipline, and will not be missedMadine let us down badly, also people said he said in a pub he's off at the end of the season as he's bored.
Shouldn't be starting for me. I'm sure he can still contribute but is he fully committed now?
I fear that is how MM sees it too.Agree with that but McCarthy might see it the other way round. ie hoofball so Madine starting and then being replaced with a footballer.
I still respect his time here, its been a generally good time and he's done a job, scored some key goals.He will be off at the end of the season as he is a striker who rarely scores, let's down the club with his indiscipline, and will not be missed
We're better off with him on somebody elses bench!Nope. He’s better off the bench imo
If he wasn't injured he mightNo because Brad Holmes will come off the bench and score the winner in the next two games.
I thought he was too but was reliably informed he’s back to fitness now. Played and scored for the development squad or what ever it’s called now this week.If he wasn't injured he might
That's good news.I thought he was too but was reliably informed he’s back to fitness now. Played and scored for the development squad or what ever it’s called now this week.
is that a fact he wanted off? i’ve heard it a few times now?No, Madine wouldn't start another game for me unless we had no other option. The guy wanted to leave in Jan anyway... Fcuk him, we should have let him go.
We need a Duncan Ferguson type. I’d play himHe was terrible when he was on loan years ago but he improved last season. He's always been too slow off the mark & for a striker doesn't have the strikers instinct or score enough goals. But he was useful with hold up & the layoffs & defensive duties & the odd goal. But of late his nasty side has returned, shithousery may be ok but he could have had 3 reds as opposed to 2 this season. I've gone off him TBH.
Madine was captain that day and 1 of our senior players ,he let us all down badly.It's an interesting one. You'd expect that Gaz is integral to how MM sets up generally, but as the suspensions, red cards and injuries pile up he's gradually discovering an alternative, albeit very slowly.
But I did notice MM and TC's reaction to the Madine sending off. Or complete lack of it - they totally blanked him. Compared to the usual consoling pat that happens, like Patino got Wednesday night. I'm thinking they weren't over struck on Gaz's antics there, so wonder if that'll affect his thinking on future selection, at least for a time.
The reverse side of that of course is he might want to do that but can't afford to, given the load Jerry's had to shoulder since.
