full fathom five Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Another Guy Whittingham type figure for us as he's a player who has come with a fantastic goalscoring record to help ease our scoring problems but because he's so keen and honest in working hard and doing a job for his team mates that he's stopped doing the things and being in the areas that brought him his initial success. His work ethic and commitment to the cause is honourable but Gray should be releasing him of some of his defensive responsibilities and get bsck to doing what he does best. Get Hirsty on the training ground with him for a week and then maybe next time we get a break down the wing and you look up to see who we can cross to we might have a striker in the box which is where he earns his corn.

Jowl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 It's a good point. May's run late on behind the back four was an example of his great movement. He was a little wide that time but it's what he should be doing. THe chance when Drenthe crossed and nobody was within 30 yards of the goal was what normally happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done OK since he came, but how he once fetched £14m from Real Madrid is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 May's playing deeper and deeper every game, if we're not careful he will end up a journey man midfielder like Whittingham instead of being allowed to do the job he was brought in to do.

full fathom five Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 May is currently expanding all his energy in areas way too deep to hurt the opposition, partly through a lack of any decent service and partly through his desire to help the cause which is resulting in clean sheets but a lack of goals for. I think Gray needs a rethink about our attacking play, we have a solid base to work from, let's find our cutting edge again. Any idea how long before Lavery's back?

Eightace Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 He's good enough but he's got worse as the team have got worse. Confidence seems to have took a knock. Like Antonio he would be a far better player in a better footballing side. Maybe he should be dropped but people are over reacting about him a tad.

Geörge Whitebread Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Terrible slur on Guy Whitingham! I'm sorry to say that I think our Stevie is more akin to FJ9. Probably not quite as good a footballer, buy he does try harder. Both are/were too lightweight without having the pace to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJ9 was a crock, never fit and when he was fit most of the time he was a timid, waste of a shirt.Mays nothing like that. Terrible comparison.

swfc-dan Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Totally agree. Theres a good player in there, we've seen in in flashes. But the total lack of service means he's chasing back all the time rather than getting on the end of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geörge Whitebread Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 FJ9...was a timid, waste of a shirt. Mays nothing like that. Terrible comparison. Erm, sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. He loses every single 50:50. He's bundled about like a toddler on a bouncy castle. Waste of a shirt is about right given his contribution so far. I genuinely hope he makes one; but can't help thinking a loan spell in L1 first. He's still young. So there's no reason to think that he'll not get there. I'm certainkly struggling to see where he fits in now we have GTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geörge Whitebread Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Drenthe never looked up. He's done OK since he came, but how he once fetched £14m from Real Madrid is beyond me. I'd love to see him take May's place in the team. Offers so much more. All the excuses about these "defensive duties" are embarassing. May comes deep because he can't compete with the defenders further up the field. He's struggling at this level and his confidence is taking a battering (admittedly I'm nit helping!) He needs to go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 play him in his roll instead of him doing the midfields job might just make a difference the lad was bought in to score goals not do all the extra stuff as well ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
