trask43 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hes not being scapegoated its just obvious to all accept gray that hes not ready for this level. If he was rotated and taken off when playing poorly fans would have more patience. Hes being mismanaged at the moment and if he keeps being played for every minute of every game even when hes not contributing anything the fans will unfortunately turn on him.

DesWalker Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Spends all his energy defending. Needs to get back to his own game not chasing a full back 40 yards. Seen a suggestion in one thread about getting hirsty in to work him and the other strikers for me this is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 With no service to the strikers May ran around a lot, and put a header over the bar. Madine did pretty much the same last week and some people on here were raving about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Think May is an ok mid table Championship forward. Too many people on here have black and white opinions on players when 90% of time they are neither brilliant or terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy bunny Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He's 21 and playing at a level that is much tougher than what he's used to The boy is still maturing and learning his trade, it's clear he needs more time to adapt Playing him every minute of every game will help his game but only when we are playing well and with confidence At the moment we have a team that loses it's way too easily and this isn't helping May at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IstillhateSteveBould Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Jesus Christ this forum does my nut in sometimes. Once again the experts of Owlstalk decide one of players is not good enough for us. Is there anyone in our current squad that hasn't been classed as "not good enough" at some point? I swear 90% of the posters on this forum have absolutely no idea when it comes to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_owl_92 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 May isn't the problem at all, its a step up for him in the Championship and lets face it with our attacking credentials even the top strikers would struggle in our team. 11 goals conceded in the league. Best record in the Championship at the minute. 11 goals scored in the league. Only Blackpool have scored less. ^^^^^^^ THAT'S the problem. Imo We've not had a decent midfield since we had Brunt, Whelan and a fit Steve Watson in the team. Ever since we've been reliant upon loan signings, set pieces and huge slices of luck. We need a winger so we can move Maguire up front and we need an attacking center midfielder. Whilst we're at it get shut of McCabe and Corry etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He's been poor last couple of games. But I don't think that's a reflection on him overall. Has plenty to offer, and shown that he has the quality. All our strikers are struggling to score because we don't create enough, they get the odd chance here and there. Certainly don't want to see May on the wing ever again. He needs to work on his strength, gets knocked off the ball far too easily- something that I think both Nuhiu and Madine have improved on since last season. I would guess that a full season in the championship and he'll look a better player next season (like Nuihu). Good prospect, don't write him off yet. We desperately need to so something with midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He is being asked (I presume) to do too much - he is all over the place, we are clearly not playing to his strengths, my impression is he is a clinical striker when in the right place (as he proved in Scotland - even if the quality is lower.) How can a striker be in the right place and ready to pounce when he is covering almost every blade of grass on the pitch. I hope we don't scare him off because it may very well come back to bite us - he will score goals in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 When he signed, the St Johnstone fans said that he might get 15 goals for us this year but would continue to improve. 15 might be a bit optimistic, but they knew they weren't selling us the finished article, so quite why we'd think he would be is beyond me. I like him, I like his attitude and I don't see why he'd get any worse, definitely worth persevering with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He's having to go looking for the ball due to por midfield work. You can bet as much as you like, if he left us and signed for another championship club, he'd bang in 20 goals.... Antonio anyone?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was doing my head in how well he's doing at Forest but then I saw the goals he scored v Watford for them. We never put chances on a plate for him like they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corneliusreeve Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thats because 90% of the players, Truth known. Are not good enough. Depends what your ambitions are. But if we had some money. Only three players would remain under my management. But we don't have any fecking money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since59owe Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Stevie May scored 30 goals last season. When we resigned Wickham he'd not consistently scored at any level. Why would you not pander to a man with May's goal record??? Exactly, needs more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_owl_92 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I don't get the obsession we have with wanting strikers that have plenty of pace. Any striker who is rapid AND also knows where the back of the net is will be playing in the Premier League or will be far out of our price range. You can make up for lack of pace by keeping the ball and playing the right pass at the right time to someones feet. Something that we seem to be completely inept at once we cross the half way line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
