Finishing aside thought he had a great game today. Link up play was superb. That one touch lay off to put Archer in was first class. Shame he couldn't put away one of those chances as deserved a goal.
Seani
Half of the reason Riis has slowed down goals-wise is the loss of Seani.
I wonder if he'd be a decent backup for Browne/DJ in midfield, tbh.

I don't hate that to be honest- my biggest worry about Maguire in this formation was that the positions he likes to take up are already very busy with both DJ and Browne in the side. But sounds like he's still able to find space, or that the midfielders know to go beyond him?
Although I agree he did well when he came on… it was sad seeing him go through on goal and then getting caught so easily… those hamstrings are only going to get slower. I think there’s better out there even on our budget, hope he finds a decent league 1 club and has a couple decent seasons, might even be good in the SPL.

Did well today, hard to offer less than Riis had done in the preceding 45 minutes but good link up play nonetheless. They were very open which helped him a lot, but no denying a couple of very decent passes
It is a complete myth, exacerbated by his abscence, that this is how he plays every game. Outside of QPR away and Swansea home, he hasn’t put in a better performance all season.
Chances he missed were awful, the manner in which he missed them was even worse.
Got to upgrade on him in summer, but every credit for some good work today

Don't disagree. Just giving credit where it's due today.If we want to challenge for promotion in this league, we need better strikers than Maguire and Evans.

Yeah, as I mentioned on the MDT, he did his usual things well - half-decent link-up play, and he's more convincing than Evans when he falls over to win free kicks - but he can't be trusted to score goals, so he's going to be of limited use next season if we really do intend improving on mid-table.Don't disagree. Just giving credit where it's due today.
Guess we'll see more of him in the last 5 games anyway if Riis's hamstring has gone.
Link up play is very good but the inability to take a chance means he’s done at this level. Got to get rid.
Archer should have had a couple more with the service he received from Maguire today.Archer will thrive with the quality that Maguire will supply.

I'm far from his biggest fan but that is complete nonsense.
Pitty Archer won't be here next season.😁Archer will thrive with the quality that Maguire will supply.
