Just checked and it's the classic "with the Reds retaining an interest in his future" on the official site when he left
He's been played as a centre back by Wycombe primarily since signing and it looks like Millwall are signing him as a CB. Didn't seem physical enough to be a CB in my opinion, and his defensive marking and positioning were suspect.. but maybe that's because we played him out of position?? Wish him well. Seems a good lad.
Seems a decent lad but not a chance he’s good enough for champ imo. Millwall are going to struggle this season
I was glad we got shut to be honest like already said I don't think he will cut it in the championship.
He looked out of his depth for us, but it was early days for him and the whole team was bad. I used to get so frustrated seeing him let crosses past him and into the box.
The last minute equaliser for bristol at home at oakwell springs to mind I know Davies flapped at the header and should have saved it but McCarthy could have stopped the cross he had only been on the pitch 5 minutes as we brought on another defender and went 5 at the back to defend a 2-1 lead. He is only young mind and could have improved seemed like a nice lad though.
All the best to Jason,. unfortunately it didn't work out for him at Barnsley. I started to lose respect for Heckingbottom after I found out how he'd treat him though.
I never really understood why so many of our fans seemed to go out of their way to say he was **** just because they took issue with his dad saying he should be in the team on Twitter. I thought he was a decent prospect. He was just a bit unlucky that once Yiadom’s shoulder was right & Cavare got fit his chances were likely to be limited. If McCarthy had the same ability but was a goalie, left back, central midfielder or forward I’ve no doubt he would’ve started more games but he was just a bit unlucky been a right back at that time.
To be fair I don't think his dad has anything to do with it although I don't do twitter so could be wrong. Alot of fans couldnt believe it when stendel assessed the squad and got shut of jason McCarthy over cavare some genuinely thought McCarthy was better. I thought he was pretty poor at defending hecky always spoke about stopping balls coming into the box Jason McCarthy really struggled with that the song he had about him were it said never gives the ball away was quite ironic too. But he was only young and a season at wycombe in league 1 could of done him good.
I remember he was quite popular until his dad started mouthing off on Twitter & all of a sudden there seemed to be a lot of fans saying he wasn’t any good even though he’d not been in the team for his reputation to suffer. Agree about the crossing, he looked better offensively than defensively which is strange as he’d apparently played a lot at centre back before joining us. I would’ve liked to have kept both McCarthy & Cavare but understandably they probably both wanted first team football so one had to go.
