To be honest he’s probably been one of our best signings the past 5 year. What did Grayson pay for him? 200,000 or something. He didn’t get much right Grayson but it was great business. Yeah he has the odd game when not everything comes off for him but he’s scored and made a fair share of goals for us. It’s a bit like when we had Nicky summerbee I remember his first season plenty didn’t like his because they said he was lazy and too soft. Some people don’t realise not all players are work horses
 
The pass to Gooch was superb.
Criminal Gooch wasted it. The Keystone Cops Doncaster players he flummoxed in the middle of the park were priceless. I thought they were going to go off they looked that confused by him.
His effort, skill and contribution to the team was outstanding today and is rarely poor, aye he can frustrate, usually when he is frustrated by those around him, but our general attacking play has been much better with him in the side. We have shot ourselves in the foot much more than teams have dominated us. McGeady has given us a chance which with Parky was never going to happen. The rest of the team need to up their game to fit with McGeady and Wyke. The manager needs to stop spouting shite and I hope he now knows that Matthews and Vokins are a waste of space.
 
I suppose nows the time for penance.

I was one of those who backed the decision to bin him. Thought he held the ball too long, didn’t run enough and hindered Hume somewhat.

I was wrong, I’m sorry. His ability has won out.

Please try and keep this up if you’re reading Aiden, I know some of you lurk here...

Harsh on Vokins I think, young lad and definitely has ability. Probably similar to how we thought of Hume when he first played men’s football

That said the 4-2-4 formation with him and leadbitter in the team was always going to see us exposed so can understand the concerns some people had. That doesn’t mean you drop him though. You have to find a system that gets the best out of your best players. This is it.
This might the important take from yesterday for me. I do hope LJ uses it regularly now.
 
Some were adamant he slowed down play...:lol:

No other player in our squad can deliver like he’s delivered today. He’s a quality league one player. Are there cons to his game and playing style, of course, that’s why he’s plying his trade with us in league one, but fans need to remember what he does bring to the table. Pleased we have him and it was absolutely disgusted what Parkinson did to the lad, but yet again, many fans lapping up the rubbish rumours and refusing to believe there are two sides to any story. Gullible as.

I slated him for the first half against Shrewsbury and was quite happy for parkinson to ship him out for the good of the team.

Seems to me the highs are high and the lows are low. If he can play a part in a team which he mostly has under Johnson then great.

I'm not sure the of the difference it would make over a season if you played mcgeady every game or diamond, be far better of financially mind.

He did slow down play though. He's come back more motivated and more willing to play more of a team role. He wouldn't have made the extra effort for that fourth goal under Ross or Parkinson. Fair play to him, because I didn't think he would be capable of a performance like yesterday.

Fair comment. I suppose it is more a frustration that we are the experimental environment for Premier League clubs now. He has looked lost in the position he plays in and both he and MacFadzean have made mistakes that have cost us. Most games we have dropped points have been due to our errors rather than the brilliance of our opponents. If we stand any chance of promotion we need to try and iron out these blips.
