FAO Stephen McPhail

RE: Interesting

Perhaps many people who are "crawling out of the woodwork" are people who didn't vote for him as MotM

 

Im prepared to bet

its the same people who went quiet when Shuker went ****. course, its all about workrate football. give me a Gary Jones anyday...

 

When he plays.

I'm not having a go at him and I know he's a quality player when he can be bothered but, for one reason or another, you only get half a season out of him and that's not going to work in the CCC.

 

RE: Interesting

How many times was he voted Man of the Match before the last 10 games? A player of his "QUALITY" should have been man of the match 9 out of ten games throughout the season - Player of the Season - in the League 1 Team of the season! And to those who think he will be better in the Championship - dont make me laugh!

 

RE: Im prepared to bet

McPhail too often disappeared out of games when things weren't going our way, he was better from January onwards (the cynics might suggest a new contract being on the horizon) and I thought that the Championship would suit him better, but he's gone now so lets concentrate on the team - Howard is a similar type of player...can't really play both together anyway so he is a good replacement and we need to be looking at a ball winning midfielder to play alongside him.

 

RE: Interesting

So are you saying your glad he has gone?

 

RE: Interesting

Yes! As long as his replacement in the team is not Wroe!
Achieving your potential in a dozen games in two seasons is simply not good enough! He was not the sole nor even the major contributor to the promotion!
