Not so super Johny Macken

Will Macken have a shot at goal before christmas? I know he does some nice touches but theyre never in the penalty area, opposition centre backs must laugh at the threat that he poses. Only thing is though who else could we play? Daveys record with strikers is shocking.

 

That's because he is having to do the job Kayode is supposed to be doing.
He spends a lot of time with his back to goal.

It must be tough for Macken when he has to carry a League Two player.

 

The job KO is meant to be doing even when he's not on the pitch?</p>

Macken's been **** when KO hasn't been playing, so how does that work?</p>

 

because we play so little football to feet he looks worse for it.

 

if you went to blackpool you would know he was the last barnsley player to have a shot on target

 

Your only as good as your last game.

 

And the fact that he had the last shot at Blackpool...

Isn't how I would particularly rate a centre forward.

 

Not fair on KO

I'm not his biggest fan as you know but his downfall on tuesday night was macken. Odejayi was heading the ball and Macken who appeared to put in little effort was never on the end of them. Odejayi might as well have been on the bench because he was trying to pass the ball to nobody. If you're going to play KO you need to have someone willing to work alongside him to get on the end of his flick ons, unfortunatly macken this season hasnt come close to doing this.

 

well he does have to carry OJ and help midfield too

so he is stretched allover the place

 

Macken = Sheron

Needs to be reminded that he is a striker.

 

so its Mackens fault now

along with

Davey

Howard

Moore

Oddjob

any wonder existing players want to leave and no one wants to come......unbelievable....

 

RE: And the fact that he had the last shot at Blackpool...

That's obviously where you've been going wrong all these years mate

 

Wot is?

 

It's difficult to select any of

Last season's players who are achieving, form wise, anything like what they're capable of this time round, sadly.

 

Been saying it since last season and took stick for it as well, he is living on past glories. He has no pace, no movement and constantly ends up on his arse. He has got a decent touch but thats it, him and KO up front worst strike partnership in the league meaning relegation. He is one of Daveys favourites who loves to leave on the pitch even when he has done fook all all game.</p>

Mostto played 11 games last year with the majority of the time KO at the side of him, got slated relentlessly for it even though he had travelled half way round the world to play for us, he deserves a run in the team more than anyone else.</p>

 

RE: so its Mackens fault now

If you think Macken is playing well and a threat up front you want to go to specsavers.

 

Isn't it just possible that Macken is there as part of a pair of strkers where one feeds off the other. He's the provider but Davey hasn't got round to sorting out the goalscorer!

 

I think big heinz is a great keeper

He was the last Barnsley keeper to save one against Colchester.

 

So does that mean that its okay for Macken never to go near the penalty area? Just blame OJ .

 

no it dont nt
