sidcow Posted October 22, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2016 I said in the pre match thread I would start him ahead of Gestade. I think Gestade did nothing today to justify a starting place. McCormack should have come on at half time for me, we were definitely lacking some guile and creativity whilst dominating Fulham. For me he should start ahead of Gestade and only bring Gestade on if we need to change the game and chuck the kitchen sink at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd swap him for McCormack next game at the sty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2016 Personally I'd play Adomah instead of Gestede. I can't see how we can fit McCormack into the starting line up without some pretty significant changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunderball Posted October 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2016 I really like him, just watched the highlights and he battled through about 4 Fulham players to put a cracking ball through for sulky. Hope we find a starting place for him next week, I think he can unlock defences 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limvillian Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 That through ball for Ayew was excellent beautifully weighted while a couple of Fulham players were hanging off him. I've seen him do this a good few times this season. For that reason alone I think he should be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yeah that ball through was different gravy. Shame Ayew couldn't finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that really. It's a long season and he will get his chance, but the time isn't now. Hell of a sub though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that Bruce will strengthen the midfield in January. If he does, that will enable us to play in different ways, I think that'll benefit McCormack immensely, and he could well have an excellent second half to the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He is really too good to be on the bench, but I would not dream of arguing against 1 draw and 2 wins in 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Total class act. Don't expect much from him playing RW in a game where we just slam the ball forward aimlessly. Build the team round him and we'll win games. He could play as a 10 in a midfield 3. Jed + Gardner behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 30, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2016 I thought he did well today out of position, worked hard and he's decent on the ball. He's unfortunate, he's not pacy or physical, he's technical and clever - in a team that builds through the middle, moves defenders around and plays an incisive passing game, he'd be very very good. Sadly for him, we're the opposite of that and it's hard to see him starting a lot of games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
