    To be fair I certainly don't think he had his best game today, but I don't care either. :)

    Hee hee!

    Still a top player, knows his strengths and weaknesses, and plays to them. He'll do for me.

    Nice to meet you and Nudge today by the way.

    I would have too to be honest but he had already put in a good shift. His last two games have be quality

    Just read BBC commentary and says Macken fouled by Smith in 95th minute which led to goal. Actually short arse Hume fouled by stumpy black full back. Careful what BBC tell you!

    Another good decision by MR to make him play the full 90. I was suggesting the other night that Macken should have been subbed late on as he was out on his feet, but if that had happened today there would have been no cigar!

    he's never been the quickest even in his younger days, his strength and hold up play are excellent, he and hume are developing a great understanding and obviously enjoy playing together (as do the whole team) i think Robins has decided these are his main strikers.

    At times under Davey that about sums Macken up, funny what a new Manager and having to fight for his place make. I do think the movement around
    Macken also makes a difference, theres always a pass on know before all the team were static.
