Gary Madine first half v Wigan

Tue Sep 17, 2019 7:38 pm

Wasn’t the first half v Wigan the best stuff we have played this season with Madine up front?

I'm not sure it was the best we've played this season but if it was it was certainly not due to having Madine up front.

He was substituted in that game and hasn't really been anywhere near the first team since.

I actually thought he played really well as a linkup striker and if Reid was focussed more on the game and not a move away could’ve had an assist or 2

Why not? He’s a good hold up striker.

I think it’s safe to say none of our strikers score. We played our best stuff last year with Niasse up top. Didn’t score a goal.

Cant see him getting anywhere near the first team now or in the future.
5 players in front of him now.

In my opinion he was having a poor game and the manager it would seem agreed in view of the fact that he took him off during the second half.

Bogle looked much more of a threat when he came on and of course scored our second goal.

If Glatzel had been available I'm certain Madine would not have started that game.

He did have an assist, a good one at that :roll:
