After watching Maguire today his link up play was very good but maybe we need to switch his position as a playmaker behind the 2 strikers. Because I cannot see him as a goalscorer.

Probably been said before but he is so much better off the ball than on the ball. His movement off the ball helps create space. But he needs to improve on the ball, and if he does, he could get more goals, potentially 10 or 15 a season if we get lucky. However i dont think he is good enough

Look, he was better than normal today. Better than Sinclair (who seems to be getting away lightly in comparison).

Unfortunately injuries have robbed him of ability at this level. He needs to be moved on, talk of him moving back is silly (especially when we’re already stocked with number 10s)

21 in 123 games for us suggests you are bonkers, send the fucker back to Cork City where he managed this.
 
Out of everybody today, probably the weakest link. Some of the older chaps sat near me made the point that given everything that has been going on, they thought Maguire would be busting a gut at being given a league start.

For me, Mansfield was his swan song. Today was the second Encore. Riis coming on was the nail in the coffin.

There is never going to be justification to start Maguire ahead of Riis again from this point in time onwards. If Riis has a bad game, it's experience gained, if Maguire has one (and he hasn't had a good one in months now) it's holding back Riis and Rodwell.

Just loan him out. He's just done

Well done to Sinclair BTW. I gave him shit last season but the running was great today.

Not bonkers mate, but do agree and think it is unlikely he will. Been said before as well but injuries have set him back massively and thats another reason why i think he wont
 
Great 6 pack

Maguire had a decent game today because he played against a Darren Ferguson team , who are always good at going forward but are crap at defending, against a better organised defence that close him down or physically put pressure on him he will once again be found lacking in most of the attributes needed as a striker and most importantly scoring goals .

Exactly we have better 10s, he doesn’t have the pace, he does bring the best out of others DJ always is more involved with him on the pitch
 
Had a great game today & credit where credit due.

His work rate & linkup play was (and usually always is) first class.

He ran himself into the ground today & gave everything.

Was way more effective than Sinclair IMHO & I called the Riis swap a good 10/15 mins before because Maguire had offered much more.

Couple of times he turned and tried to accelerate away but couldn’t….. those injuries to his hammies have cost him dear, but he’s still an important member of our squad.

Agreed.
Although, Peterborough are another club who absolutely outshine us in scouting players.

Total nonsense. Wasn't even the 6th best player for us today. Bang average.
 
Don't want to sound critical because he didn't have a poor game. He wasn't particularly good either though.

We've come to expect so little from him that whenever he does basic things like hold the ball up and link the play, he's lauded for it. It's stuff Ched could do in his sleep.

At the end of the day Maguire is a striker who again provided zero threat to the opposition goal. We need far better than him, which isn't his fault of course.

Absolutely this, it won't get through to the fountains of all knowledge though.
