MDG

Behave. He is on the longest starting run for a reds player since Nicky Eaden for a reason. Very decent at this level....

 

Very funny, he's been ***** all season.

 

All squad as been ****, he's been slightly above that.
Remember Mads in his first seasons?
Made mistakes but came good

 

Mads had a number of physical attributes though, he was big and strong and not exactly slow

MDG looks nowhere near strong enough, zero physical presence

 

So has rest of squad but he’s been best of a bad bunch

 

Every match total liability

 

he’s half decent, 6-7/10 every week definitely not our main weakness

 

The worst player to have played even half the number of games he has in my near 50 years watching. Gives two to three clear goalscoring opportunities away a game on average. Luckily got away with his ineptitude a lot last season due to poor opposition finishing or being bailed out by others, especially Roberts.

Totally inept at doing what he his there to do - defend. Weak, painfully slow, poor in the air, positionally abysmal, runs under opposition corners, gets bullied off the ball, runs into blind alleys and loses the ball, constantly plays team-mates into trouble. I'm not even that bothered about the two main characteristics he seems to have 'developed' into his game this season namely his appalling play-acting and his now trademark foul throw.

I think I'm right in saying that in 2024 he is the League 1 defender that has been on the pitch when most goals have been conceded by his team. And what have we - something like 5 clean sheets in the last league 46 games? He's the one constant and its no coincidence.

I've tried to convince myself he's not the worst central defender I've seen in a red shirt, and yet he plays in an era where we play three centre backs, with at least one deep-lying midfielder, in division 3, a division with year-on-year declining standards. So he is.

I've kicked off a couple of times in recent years about not renewing and then renewed because at the end of the day it's all about the game and the players. I'm adamant this time that never again am I going to waste a large chunk of what's left of my dwindling disposable income watching players as bad as this lad.

 

Great post. I often think people are taking the piss when I see a vote or two for him in player of the match posts.

The only time I’ve been impressed with him this season was Exeter away.
