Re: mc kenna
Tbh..thought the Barnsley midfield totally outpassed us in that area...Mac has got to pull his socks up agreed...Also thought Matt got pasted down the left too...he was on his arse more than his feet...

Let's move on from stupid comments like yours seeing as we're up to third. The second-half was poor, but not exactly all McKenna's fault...
Get a grip. If you've nowt sensible to say, fuck off...

Re: mc kenna
with 11 v 10 for 84 minutes you'd surely expect our midfield to dominate but listening to full match commentary i hardly heard mckenna's name mentioned.
and in the last 20 minutes it seemed like we were the team a man short.
perhaps just an off day for him?

Re: mc kenna
We didn't get the ball out wide like we did in the first half - that's as much to do with the full backs and central defenders as it is for Mckenna et al. Don't get me wrong, McKenna didn't fill himself with glory, but the second half performance was poor by our standards...
If we are all being honest, we were quite lucky to get all three points. Barnsley deserved at least something...it has to be said.

Re: mc kenna
I thought mckenna was one of the better players tonight but saying that none of them really had a good game if im honest. with them playing against 10 men most of the game you would think we should of got a bag full BUT we won thats the main thing.

Re: mc kenna
Didnt think mckenna had a great game but he wasnt the worst on the pitch , more worried about chilvers i think he's a bit of a liabilty alot of silly mistakes that could quite easily of cost us ! credit to barnsley they were definatley up for it in second half , also thought nugent should of converted at least one of his chances, just not his night i guess ! oh well 3 points were 3rd alright in my book .

Re: mc kenna
Here here, we'll play better than that and lose this season. It's results not performances that win promotion. Yes we want entertainment, but no team plays amazingly for 46 games! We know we can play better but enjoy the 3 points, 3rd in the table (albeit for tonight at least). Is this not the best points total we've had at the start of a season for many a year?

Re: mc kenna
only seen one match so far this season so i can't really judge but radio sheffield were definitely impressed tonight with both chilvers and st ledger.
didn't chilvers start at arsenal? if so you'd expect him to be decent wouldn't you?
following on from davis and mawene though it must hard for our two young centre backs to maintain such a high standard mustn't it? they seem to be doing well so far though eh?

Re: mc kenna
i think hill is doing ok and like kevin gallagher said on the radio, nuge needs to stop showing his frustration visibly and show it by concentrating on hitting the net.shabbagaz said:

Re: mc kenna
hill should not be on the pitch..he can't stop his opponent going past him on the inside or the outside..he regularly passes inside which loses any width we have gained, he has no vision -so he can't made the penetrating forward passes that grezza makes plus , just like he did at cardiff ..for the winning goal conceded - he can't stand up !.how on earth can hill be preferred to wilson..this player is a joke

Re: mc kenna
Wouldn't have said mckenna did too badly tonight, after playing indifferent in the first few games i think he HAS pulled his socks up and is playing better! Definately not the weakest link in the team atm, wouldve said that was matty hill after tonights performance. Think st. ledger and sedgewick did alreet tonight

Re: mc kenna
It was a good three points from - in the second half at least - a poor performance. I only saw the last 30 minutes and over that period Nash, St Ledger and Chilvers were excellent, while Dichio worked hard and put in a few neat lay-offs. Otherwise it was all pretty ordinary. Neither fullback gave any effective support to the attack - Hill never got in a positon to do so, while Alexander's passing was woeful. A really good attacking fullback would be a significant enhancement to the side - on the left Davidson might be able to provide that but you have to question whether he will ever be fit, in the circumstances Pugh might be worth trying especially as he lacks real drive as an attacker even though he can provide the odd stylish moment. In midfield McKenna and Sedgwick lacked invention and though we pushed the ball around quite well at times we never looked like unlocking their defence - as such the return of Nowland could be a pivotal moment in the season. The truth is that at the moment we are doing well on the basis of a sound central defence, decent all-round organisation and flashes of brilliance upfront. It is a foundation but not in itself enough to sustain a season-long campaign. The encouraging thing is that Paul Simpson seems to realise that. But if we can pick up three points in tricky gameswithout playing well then that is no bad thing.

Re: mc kenna
I think Chilvers & St Ledger were both great tonite... I think its a bonus that theyre both doing so well with loosing big defensive presances like Davis , Mawene ..we're still keeping clean sheets.... Although i think were weak with dealing with set pieces ...it hasnt been punished yet though. As For Mckenna ....he didnt have the best game , but none of em did... I wouldnt Call him the weak link ..an even if he was ...i thought sedgewick was last seasons weaklink ..but he's been alright this season.
like everyone says its 3 pts that matters well done Aggy !

Re: mc kenna
McKenna didn't have his best game for us tonight but I thought it was Pugh who was the weakest midfielder on the night. Pugh didn't really put the effort it to help Hill. Very disappointing given Pugh's excellent performance against Stumpy.
