Bradwell canary 109 Posted May 8, 2018 Interesting considering old city boys on view, Joe Lewis, Martin, Doran’s. New boy for next season, McLean looks decent. One long range effort from him rattle the bar, it was a rocket. Scored a penalty as wellBut watching this, it’s totally blood and guts football, they certainly get stuck in up there. Maybe we just need a bit of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted May 8, 2018 I watched the game to see what McLean has to offer.He didn''t get as involved as much as I thought he wouldHe is not afraid to head the ballHe falls over a lotHe walks around more than I like to see.Has an eye for an early ball,short or long.Doesn''t tie himself in knots.Quite a good shot on himGets into the box.Took a good penaltyDidn''t take any free kicks or corners tonight.Their game against Celtic is on TV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted May 8, 2018 Just found out he got MoM. Well it was his last home game so they were a tad benevolent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madison has had seven shades of shyte kicked out of him this season.I''ve watched games where the ref seems to be waiting for an actual murder before he considers a booking might be, perhaps, considered.A few more Hanley types and the odd Trevor Hockey or two and we will be looking more like Championship challengers come next season.
