It's been clear as day it's exceptional, but whilst anyone should be able to see that why doesn't he contribute more The side hin general play given he's technically quite decent? You could easily argue the side hasn't functioned that well partly because of his lack of physique and movement at times.

Well Ross doesn't like that he doesn't run in behind however I think our problems are along way away from Majas movement. Haven't really seen us without Maja enough this year. Don't think we've won when he haven't started.

We are just really easy to set up agaisnt. We're not particularly attacking till we go behind & we don't commit enough bodies into the final third. Not sure the system works with the players we have tbf. Certainly not when maguires in the 10.

We have had Wyke, Sinclair and Maja playing up front. We have struggled to create chances, no matter who has been up front. The problem lies in CM. It always has.

Wyke has recently spurned a few opportunities when playing in a side not playing well and created space for Maja, despite not being very good/unfit. Sinclair stretched sides, chased and harried far more and some of our better games were when he was playing, he just had no composure in front of goal/lacked confidence.

We've largely one way of playing and getting the ball forward, Maja as much as anyone else has contributed to that as he rarely gets beyond defenders or has them running towards goal. Everything is in front of them. Probably why prior to this season he was more seen as a forward rather than an out and out striker and why we needed a forward anyway.

It’s so poor, that could cost us promotion

Very disappointed in the owners and failed their first test for me

If you want to attack me for that view go ahead, don’t care.

They’re being naive beyond belief.

If we don't go up Maja leaving will be the reason why imo
 
We'll be getting nearly double what the mags got for Adam Armstrong when they sold him. He had a cracking goalscoring record at this level.

We've scored one goal in the league direct from a corner, I believe, that is absolutely shocking for a team that gets as many as us in a game. If for example we brought say Eaves and Grigg in, Eaves would be an instant threat from set pieces, Grigg would hopefully be a finisher from open play. His stats in this league would say so. Plus someone like Eaves would be able to bring others in to play, more so that Wyke would. He's got an Andy Carroll type build. And he'd be a help in our box from opposition set pieces.
Imo.

Agree about set plays. We also can't defend them.

Our delivery is pretty poor for the most part & our CBs can't attack the ball. We looked more dangerous from them when Loovens played

His attitude has been good so far and I haven’t seen anything to suggest that would change. If he kept playing well scoring goals I wouldn’t care if he wanted to leave in the summer. He’d know that the better he played for us, the better deal he could get in the summer.

I know he is probably going to leave but there is no point deluding ourselves that this is a good deal for us. It is just a further indictment of Short’s disastrous time here.

Bain too. Didn't see that whilst he was bigging himself up on the Netflix doc

We haven't created more chances when Wyke has played, have we? The only difference is he hasn't scored them. I think that kind of proves my point. We need to find a way to create more chances than we currently do.

Are there any positives?

We aren't losing Maja for nothing and we have a player who isn't committed to the cause off the books. It also appears we are looking to sign a proven league one goal scorer and bringing back a MLF with a great attitude who should help stabilize us as we head into the promotion race.

We are third with a game in hand which would put us second and have the leaders to play at home. We've lost twice all season.

Most of all Short has gone and we gave owners who are now at least trying to take the Club forward albeit while dealing with a legacy of utter disaster.

How quickly some forget.

I'm pretty sure it's only one goal direct from a corner, was mentioned on one of the podcasts a few weeks ago. Maguire at Gillingham iirc. Shocking stat if true like.

:lol:

Jesus wept

I don’t think we should sell our only goal threat during a promotion battle

You’ve got your head so far up Donald’s arse you can’t form an opinion of your own. Fuckin embarrassment you

So he plays till the summer and the club get nothing, or we sell him,get 3.5 million to get players in who want to be at the club and aren’t greedy fuckers.
