How many times has the commentator said...

...Macken's touch is terrible? What's he doing out there? I thought Macken's strength was his touch.

 

Don't know where that came from. Of course, he missed a couple of balls. But he once again had a very good game. Just needs that goal.

 

well Macken has the best touch I've seen at the well for many a long year. Who was commentating and should he have gone to specsavers

 

The Barnsley World Team.........

sure do get people talking Macken can do everything but score. If he stays longer, that's cool by me. If he goes back that's cool by me also.

 

RE: The Barnsley World Team.........

got me wondering, people who say they went to match, then know what the barnsley world team have said (chinny)

 

macken was superb tonight, in fact

not had a bad game yet, get him signed in january

 

Macken was excellent tonight , mate

All the fans appreciate his effort and commitment to the team . Hopefully , the goals will start to come soon.

 

RE: Macken was excellent tonight , mate

He certainly was, and Disco, werling and Muller were the stars in a blinding intense performance that Wolves couldn't cope with.

 

This is the trouble with audio commentary isn't it

The commentators can make a game sound completely different to what's actually going on. Some commentators make it sound like one goal mouth scramble to the next and then you watch on Match of the Day or whatever and see a totally different game. Then there was Saturday's Barnsley World commentary when (and I realise he was doing it alone) he lapsed into a deadpan drone that would make Stephen Wright sound enthusiastic... "Ferenczi is free in the area" sounded more like "Ferenczi is warming up by the bench".

 

RE: Macken was excellent tonight , mate

There was one in 2nd half when he was put clear in area and his touch was poor, I said that he won't have a better chance to score.

 

Don't want to offend anybody, but

Macken was awesome tonight - don't care if he never scores if he plays like that every game we will do OK

Anyone who thought his touch was terrible was either at a different game or can't see.

 

True

I reckon his first goal will be a scrappy one , but the second will resemble his all round game for us, ie. quality.

 

Don't know which commentary you were listening to

Because we didn't say that on Oakwell AM...

He miscontrolled the ball twice in the game - both times were the two chances he had in the penalty area which was the frustrating thing.

But nope, we said he played well so no idea what you're on about - you may be referring to when he should have been through on goal but let the ball slip under his foot.

 

Macken was brilliant again....

....as he's been in most of the games he's played for us so far. I don't know about Chris or Adam, but the only time I can remember criticising him is the chance Eaststander referred to when his touch and reactions let him down slightly. Macken is the perfect foil for Stan and he's been immense since he joined the club, I genuinely hope we sign him on a permanent deal in January.

 

It was certainly mentioned a few times

Unless somebody had spiked my coffee! Maybe I exaggerated it in my mind because I was frustrated we were playing so well but couldn't kill the game off.

No matter, I'm glad that in reality he had a great game! Things are looking up at the Well!
