Time to give Mason a chance

Mon Oct 07, 2013 1:27 pm

Hopefully Malky spices things up, massive fan of the Malky and heavily appreciative of the work he's done here but we can't waste Mason's talent. Still only young but done the right job when asked of him, performed well in the CC final, probably one of the sole reasons we got into the play-offs in 11/12 with his form. Last season he was alright but never really had the chance he deserved. He's a striker but can also play the role Kimbo plays. Would really like to see Mason given a chance in the PL :ayatollah:

An example of how he can step up to the plate against big teams?

Would be more of a threat than Campbell - who couldn't trap a bag of cement at the moment!

Well it hardly helps Campbell being upfront on his own with ben turner hoofing the ball to him when hes got 2 centre halfs around him

Mason is too slow, and weak to be upfront on his own

Campbell's touch is very poor at present even when put through by the likes of Whitts

Not disputing that but would Mason get in the positions Campbells pace gets him into? Id doubt it.

If Campbell if to be dropped Odemwingie up front is more realistic

id try odemwingie upfront when we play away cause we all know he will play 4 5 1 away and at home id play a 4 4 2 with cornelius (when fit) and odemwingie/campbell up front

shame he always plays 4-5-1

Are people actually calling for Malky to drop Campbell for Mason :shock: :lol:

That is all I'm posting on this. With all due respect to Mason, he is nowhere and never will be anywhere near as good as Campbell. As harsh as it seems, Mason is a Championship player at most..

The same goes for Rudy... Perhaps even League 2 for him :laughing5:

I clearly didn't. I appreciate Campbell's good work. Mason is a good striker but can also play just behind the striker, I'd like it to be tested out.

Gestede isn't a League 2 striker either, he could easily play for a low Championship team/top end League One side.

I was thinking this the other day. Worth a go on the bench. Player with bags of potential and he's a great finisher. If he's to fulfil this he needs game time, either send him out on loan or put him on the bench

mason, sadly, would be out of his depth. The kid, sadly, has no pace whatsoever.

Joe Mason every chance he gets he has performed and got goals.

He always takes chances when the come, got to give him that. Does nothing wrong.

agree with you there, how are these youngsters mason , noone, going to get premier experience if you dont play them, its hard in this division waiting untill your 3-0 up then bring them on :roll:

It's hard to accept the Noone situation, you don't repeatedly keep putting him on the bench and not use him, staggering.

The boy has one hell of a shot which we could do with in games.

Mon Oct 07, 2013 9:18 pm

i like noone . he runs at the opposition with the ball at his feet, ok he does lose the ball on occasions, but he got tobe given a chance, i know its hard for malky keeping all the players happy, but some times we got to just give them a chance, i know people will say who do you drop then? and the answer is i dont know :roll:

Re: Time to give Mason a chance

Mon Oct 07, 2013 9:24 pm

I think we are keeping Mason and Noone in case we go back down this season and have to shed some of the top earners or they get sold.

Mason isn't good enough. If he was he'd be playing. He is a low to mid championship player

Re: Time to give Mason a chance

Tue Oct 08, 2013 3:31 pm

I think Mason is a fabulous little player, makes very intelligent runs and I would love to see him get a chance.

Re: Time to give Mason a chance

Mason will be no different to Campbell when playing up top on his own.

Re: Time to give Mason a chance

Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:54 pm

I think campbell does the loan role quite well, it's an impossible task.

Mason doesn't have any of the traits needes to do it. He should be loaned out.

I would say Top considering he was doing well for us.
