Im absolutely astounded by the fact I hear so much negativity about Shaunni, he cant lead the line, hes useless in the air, hes lightweight etc etc etc, he is not a hold up man, you cant punt it up to him and expect him to beat a 6'4" brick sh*thouse In the air and he isn't going to bully defenders!! However play it down the channels, use him on the overlap and let him run at people and there are very few better on his day in our current side, he isn't Hugill or Stockley so don't expect him to be!!

Shame is we don't have to many other options sand he is also played out of position, his scoring record in Ireland was pretty good and you don't become bad over night

Two very serious hamstring surgeries haven't helped his cause in the slightest. He's not the same player that first arrived at Deepdale.
 
It is not Maguires fault he gets no decent passes in the box were he can do some harm.
As long as we have a game plan that requires a minimum of ten passes to move the ball 2 yards forward he or anyone else for that matter will struggle to score !!!
The tactics are abysmal and dont look like changing any time soon !!!
 
Seems to me that some fans have to have a player they feel the need to constantly criticise, Davies, Gally, Fisher and even Bauer haven't exactly shined for the last 6 weeks

Works hard but he shouldn’t be playing as much as he does. Happy with him in the squad though.

Agree with this... he is a good squad player.

we need an out and out goal scorer.

Sean can be an impact player.

he is very similar to Cresswell in my opinion.
 
Maguire needs to be out the starting 11 for a few matches as does Browne, both haven’t hit form at all this season and really struggled bar 1 or 2 times. I could blame the tactics for their form but I’m just going to blame their international careers, Ireland is a very negative set up. If it ain’t injuries they come back with it’s a negative mind set.

I find Maguire great to watch on the ball and a lovely mover, off the ball. Hugill was a battering ram on a football kit.
 
I think we are still missing the point we Don't have an out and out goal scorer so we pay ineffective long balls and expect him to compete, you can only judge him on what is played into his feet and most of the time he does really well when this happens
 
He's fallen some way short of a lot of posters expectations, who not long ago were telling us the odds and putting bets on him being the divisions top scorer. Had a purple patch soon after he arrived but not done much since. Could be a useful fox in the box but he's never going to fire us to promotion. We need better.
