the monk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Didn't get to too many games last year but seen us half a dozen times this season (3 on tv) ,I was very interested to see if Maguire has improved as much as our fans were telling me. Sorry to say this but I don't think he isn't good enough, ok he works hard and shows the odd glimpse of true skill but his passing is truly awful even the simplest 5 yard pass goes astray, yesterday in my opinion he was especially poor and yet he looks totally bewildered when his number is held up! Am I being over critical or are others seeing something I am not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smhouston Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He was a lot better last season. He's not turned up this season so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Double negative there. I am not a fan personally. He obviously has ability but he has only played well a couple of times this season and was pretty poor most of last season after his initial purple patch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the monk Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yes, I don't think he isn't good enough, and nobody can argue with that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thinks he's better than he actually is. Having talent is one thing, but it means jack all if you don't have the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LEGEND Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He was our best player last season, scored some crucial goals. Don't slate him just yet, he hasn't hit the heights of last season, but other players are doing the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He was a lot better last season. He's not turned up this season so far This, in a nutshell. Hopefully he can get back to his best soon, as he was a real threat during the second half of last season. In his defence, although it's clearly not working for him at the moment, he's not hiding at all: he still wants the ball and is still one of our hardest-working players. I don't think it's a coincidence that we saw his best form when he was linking up with Lee either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw_sheffwed Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He's a number 10 behind the striker We need a winger he's been played out of position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djorkaeff Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It just isn't happening for him this season, it will come. In terms of end product we had a splurge from nuhiu, now May. As long as somebody is having one we're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He's being played out of position and it's frustrating him. You can't judge a player on seeing him a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standidno Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Quality player IMO. Would love to see him behind striker but why change a team in form.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieOwler Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Should play him more central. Either upfront or behind the striker in a diamond. MaguireDrenthe Maghoma Semedo Edited September 21, 2014 by RobbieOwler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Still unsure of his best position to get the most out of him. Suspect he's ideally a no.10, but with May and Nuhiu in the side he can't play there. I don't think dropping Nuhiu and pushing Maguire up there would work; we'd have no physical presence up top. I think that's one problem we've had over the last couple of seasons with players like Maghoma, Maguire & JJ. They all play between the lines and vied for the same role, but don't naturally settle into any position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris E Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think he over complicates things because he's lacking confidence at the moment. He's twisting and turning to try and get it perfect. He just needs to keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 For me Maguire is being played out of position so shouldn`t be judged too harshly. When he came back into the fold last season he probably came as a shock to the opposition coaches. This season he is being doubled up on and this is leading to him being frustrated and trying too hard when he does get a sight of goal . All season I have been amazed that someone as astute as SG has not swopped wingers during the game very often , Maguire / Palmer spend most of there time going down the outside whilst Maghoma spends his time going inside( often losing the ball in the process) and ignoring the the overlapping Mattock!! It was most noticable yesterday that we had our best attacking period in the time when Hope was out right and Helan was out left and the defenders were kept guessing.

Random Task Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He was good enough last season when he scored into the double figures from the wing in half a season. Personally, I think he needs some competition or a rest rather than replacing permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Great_Hope Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He's a number 10 behind the striker We need a winger he's been played out of position Yet he played well enough last season on the wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) He was very good for us last season after Jones left but for whatever reason it's just not happening for him this year. Edited September 21, 2014 by BIG D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
