He was totally not with it, he was ball watching an awful lot. Don't think scouts will be too impressed.

Correct Ian I thought he worked hard and does not deserve any criticism

We have a lot of tossers as fans tho who think all our strikers need to score 3 hat tricks a game or they've played crap

One of those days for Joe. He was so slow reacting to the ball for Joe, did genuinely seem like his mind was elsewhere. He was ok when smith wason playing the link man but after that he was a list sheep. Still class, still. Love the lad....onwards and upwards.

To be fair to him he didnt have many chances created for him

He was there to chase everything down today, you could hear Malky shouting instructions to him.... He didn't get a true goal scoring opportunity, but who's complaining after a double over them lot, and our league position.

Tactics spot on away from home again!

Played ok but your right too much hoofball. He chased and harried defenders but he needs more game time to sharpen him up

I though he run himself ragged.

You could see Mason was playing to instructions, away setup worked hard for team performance something that would have not gone unnoticed to the scouts as would playing up front on his own for large parts.

Seemed to be standing about a lot when blackpool were in possession. Malky screaming at him managed to get him to chase the ball down, something bellars does instinctively. Im not saying he didn't work hard when we had the ball but the best teams defend from the front

I am sorry but if anyone was slow it was helguson, he just watched it go past him, or gave I away and then didn't chase it

I don't think mason had a bad game and it being unfairly criticised

Mason was gash??? Hahahaha some fans really haven't got the slightest clue. Run his socks off for the TEAM. Did a great, selfless job for the TEAM! If your poor footballing knowledge didn't tell u that, then malkys constant barking of instructions to mason from the sidelines should have!

i thought joe done well and he is the only player we currently have in our squad who can play up top alone :ayatollah:

I thought he worked quite hard today and did ok.

He works hard and did okay.. if he had a chance he would most likely take it.

Against Blackburn he managed to score a great goal.

Birmingham he took it well.
