With Maynard being out for the season and no replacement coming in I would have kept earnie, but then I guess the loan deal was already done

But mason has been playing mostly wide, can't see earnie playing that role :?

Earnie was a good striker but not up to this league and that's why he has had to go all the way to Israel

And i thought i was the one being harsh at the moment :lol: To be fair to Mason he hasn't played much then when he gets a start he ends up in Midfield :o Play players in there rightfull positions especially when they are Fit.

No chance Earnie was good five seasons ago but now is shite IMO

Gotta agree with this, hopefully now after Conway's impact yesterday and with Smith to come back also Bellamy & Kimbo maybe Malky might play Mason more as a striker/support striker :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Regardless where mason is playing he is still unproven,
alot of his goals come from through ball's he can finish which is cool......

but I mean what else do we have to go by other than if the defenders are good and physical he is marked out of the game,
If we are playing a defensively poor side he does well due to more errors

I think where mason is playing is very relevant.

I agree Earnshaw could have played a good squad role this season. However, Earnshaw was on massive wages, and wages that were too high for a 'squad player' in my opinion.

Had you seen the goal posted on here by Annis from youtube which he scrapped in for maccabi tel aviv against a piss poor defence (on parity with our Third Division ) would you honestly flash the cheque book if you were MM and sign him up as the answer to obtaining a prolific 20 goal a season goalscorer in this Division!?? also anyone who thinks Gestade is the solution needs a reality check as just making a nuisance of youself in the opposition half does not merit being a capable striker and i belive at this stage of his career he needs to greatly improve his ball control, distribution to compete in this team.

I think Mason has gone backwards since last season,i do wish Mackay would play the lad in a more attacking role,where i think he could be more affective
