Mason !!!

Sat Jan 23, 2016 5:58 pm

He is just pointless, not sure what he adds.

He had a decent first touch, that's deserted him now. He looks like a youth lad out there.

He hasn't trained on from that first season....Take whatever we can if there is ever a real offer.

Get Saadi to replace him.

The club look stupid asking saying they want at least 5m.

Anything around 1m would be brilliant business.

Miller made him look like a great prospect in his first season.

I said it in his second season he wasn't developing. Could never understand the Mason love in.

Also, all this about him being supposedly our best finisher, doesn't matter if he can;t get on the ball or get near the box!

A strong gust of wind and he's on his arse.

No pace, shocking first touch and weaker than a baby.

£5 million?

I've been saying this for a while.
Then I hear professional football experts saying how good he is,and I think what the hell am I missing . But to be honest he's not very good . Don't get me started on Ameobi though, on premiership wages of maybe 50k and he's useless makes Mason look like Messi.

Not a championship player. £5m has to be a joke, I'd swap him for a tube of smarties and a choc ice.

I've always rated him as a good player for this level but you are right, he's not a player who can grab the came by the scruff of the neck and win it. I think Saadi, when he finally gets some games together will out do him.

Mason is useless bite there hands off for any money

He’s undoubtedly one of our best players. With the right support and positioned properly he’d do the job.

Saadi is a good signing on paper, we've just been unlucky.

We've had a lot of signings over the last few seasons that have been good on paper, but turned out bad on the pitch.

Unlucky, or very poor judgement???

But I don't think that will be the case with Saadi.

Maybe not substituting him

Sorry but anyone who still thinks Mason can cut it at this level is either blind or deluded !!

We looked a different team with Watt upfront, Mason comes back and posters claim he needs more help !!

Poor control, lack of pace, can't pass and hardly ever gets on he end of crosses: not a great CV for a striker!!!!

Re: Mason !!!

Sat Jan 23, 2016 11:44 pm

Mason shows good movement , possibly making space for others; however is poor holding up the ball, struggles winning anything in the air, has limited pace and goes down far too easily. Surely to goodness this was the sort of game for Ameobi to tear an opposition apart

Re: Mason !!!

Sat Jan 23, 2016 11:50 pm

Mason is rubbish. Slow, easily knocked off the ball rarely wins a challenge of any kind. Rarely looks for space, weak shot from distance. I don't think I've ever seen him win a header. Can't recall him setting up chances for others. Doesn't challenge or put defenders under pressure.

It's like playing with 10 men. If anyone offers anything for him. Bite their hand off. I really wonder if half the posters on here have ever kicked a ball in their life. He is a defender's dream. Give him space, let bim gave the ball, take it off him. Get shot.

Maybe I'm blind and deluded, don't care.
best signing we never made?... Watt!. 2 game wonder. looked good and then revealed himself for what is is...very average.

Pilkington did all the running up front creating options. Peltier in particular was hitting long channel balls which Pilkington was running onto with his side to side movement.

I had forgotten Mason was on the pitch until a rare occasion when the ball got played to his chest and well...he must have had springs in his chest as the ball bounced about 40 yards away!

A neutral must have thought Pilkington was the out and out striker and Mason was out of position not familiar with his role. What a contrast in performances!

yes to all of the above.

okay. so no complaints when he's sold to rival championship team?

Not from me, especially if the figures mentioned are true, he just hasn't improved

None what so ever, in fact I'll be happy to see him line up against us. Connolly & Manga can give him a 5M head start and still not be too bothered.

Me too. I'd be happy to see him line up against us as it should make a comfortable 90 minutes for our defenders. Don't rate him at all, and he can trap a ball further than I can kick it.

Who said Watt was "the best signing. never made" ? He's just a decent Championship striker.

That just demonstrates further that Mason is nowhere near a Championship striker !!
