Lambo 0 Posted August 22, 2009 ... was the massive grin on the face of Mcveigh coming to the Barclay to take a corner whilst we sung WLY. Was just one of those really nice moments in football that you get.He wants to be here and looks much better than Whaley aswell as showing encouragement to Smith throughout the game.He could be a very important player for us this season and i''m delighted he''s back.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Yes agree although I''m sure that Whalley has much more to offer!I was against resigning Mcveigh but today he looked impressive and proved he is still capable of making a difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted August 22, 2009 What does Whaley have to offer? he was crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted August 22, 2009 McVeigh is such a natural footballer. He''s got a football brain to combine with great touch and technique. He''s got a great knack for feeling the weight of the ball when he plays it.Pleased he''s back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Korey Smith was standing at the far post in the 1st half, not long after he had scored, he couldn''t stop smiling for 20 secs or so. Was nice. Saw the WLY smile to, he was trying hard to stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted August 22, 2009 I''m also glad McVeigh is back for both his quality and versatility, but don''t write off Whaley yet as his pace is important, though his skills need further devloping. Remember his excellent goal against Wigan as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted August 22, 2009 [quote user="Gingerpele"]What does Whaley have to offer? he was crap[/quote]Has pace to burn, can cross and can score goals!Gills to me is the one whos shown that while hes gives it 100% he probably hasn''t got any more in the locker which makes him not good enough!

Lambo 0 Posted August 22, 2009 I''m not writing Whaley off, his pace could be effective from the bench, but right now i think WLY should be first choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendo 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Call me stupid, but of what ive seen today, I think Mcveigh is better than Wes. Yes, Wes is younger but at this current time, Mcveigh has looked better in my eyes. Yes it has only been 1 game. But im not a fan of hoolahan at all. Lappin, as i said the other day seems just as good and would give money to Lambert to buy 1 or 2 players he wants, should he want to sell him. Lappin has a great cross but as people have said, isnt amazingly quick. Pace isnt essential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo 0 Posted August 22, 2009 As i''ve said many times, David Beckham is proof that you don''t need to be lightning quick to be a winger, if your delivery is good enough you''ll be just as effective as a pacey winger, Lappin''s is certainly good enough.

Captain Holt 520 Posted August 23, 2009 I couldn''t believe the reception he got. He was probably smiling because he couldn''t believe what a lucky bastard he is to be given a contract at this club again after having 2 good seasons out of 8 in his last spell here.Can''t get in Luton''s side but is a fan favourite here?

Jonnyboy 0 Posted August 23, 2009 I was under the impression that he was at Luton to keep his fitness up and the reason they didn''t play him much was because he was on a pay to play contract, they could only afford to bring him out in big matches?!Anyway give the man break he had a good game and has obviously earned his start, I hope he can keep his place with repeat performances like yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However it looks like McVeigh is not content with playing second fiddle to anyone - good on him. If he can play like that consistantly then we have got the old McVeigh back again and when he is playing like that he is more than league one good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]The number of assists Lappin provided in just one game probably isn`t far short of what Hoolihan`s achieved in 35-odd games for City. I certainly can`t remember too many from last season. How many goals has Hoolihan scored? Two? Nice skills, no end product unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bearing in mind the dire financial difficulties there, it is understandable that he was not played every week.It was great to hear that song rolling across the Barclay and snake pit yesterday.I think he could be very important to us this season.
