McCammon is better at holding the ball up than Leon Knight?

A serious question.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

To be fair Macammon would have been where the boots were flying.

He could have done a job Sunday...

 

[the full harris]

No, he couldn't. Knight is a much better player in the air than McCammon. McCammon would not have affected yesterday's game in any positive way. He is too slow, gets knocked off the ball too easily, he can't shoot, can't jump, can't head down and can't pass. I know yesterday was upsetting but just because a player hasn't played for a while, doesn't suddenly make them the answer. In any case, we scored twice yesterday, two goals should be enough to win a game.

Go and watch the Sunderland DVD when we played with 10 men for an hour, with Big Mac up front on his own.

I dont think anyone is suggesting that he is a better player than knight....I think we are suggesting that he is an infinitely better player than CKR...which is very worrying

Sorry to be Arsene Wenger about this but I wasn't at the Sunderland game and I've never seen it. However, you can't judge a player on a single performance. I've never seen McCammon have anything approaching an effective performance and genuinely believe if he wasn't at the club we would have stayed up way before the final game of last season.

I thought we were completely overrun after the sending off. To be fair McCammon did play well in that game, but he has always lacked the basic ability to get the ball under control *quickly* when the ball is played to him at pace.

McCammon would never have scored the goal that Kazim-Richards scored against Plymouth.

McCammon would never have scored the goal that Kazim-Richards scored against Plymouth.

and on current form, CKR would never had scored the goals McCammon scored against Sunderland

Available in the club shop if your question was serious (but as it's you, we all know it wasn't).

Plenty of similar performances by Big Mac up front last season (and at Hull and Shrewsbury this season), this one just happens to be recorded for posterity.

It pain me to say it after what i said last year but give him a go.

We were overrun for more than an hour?

Full Harris, with this single post, the game really is up for your anti-Big Mac crusade. Now give it up and stop wasting your time.

Strikers do sometimes give the ball away, the idea i that the defence clear up behnd them. Our problem isn't up front. We score goals, we just let too many in.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I also would CONSIDER giving Mcphee a chance along side Knight.

Before you flame me consider how well those two link up together.

Looks like I'll have to go it alone then.

McCammon has played against Hull and Shrewsbury. I wasn't at either games but we lost 2-0 at Hull and can a performance against a League 2 side really be that great an indication to how a player will perform in the Championship?

BINGO


Thge problem is the chap has not the experience to hold the ball up. Experience will come, but we cannot afford to throw him in at the moment.

I would have kept jakey on. But again, in hinesight we can all be Sven!!

McPhee? What is the point?

Knight and Robinson aren't great but they are the best we have got, we managed to score twice with them up front yesterday and we played some nice football in the first half. Two goals should be enough to win a game at home, it is in defence where our problem lie. Don't worry though, when January comes and we sign McShane for the rest of the season, Henderson signs permanently and Hinshelwood is back we'll have a great central defensive partnership in front of a very good goalkeeper. Then we'll win games 2-0, rather than losing 3-2 and we can smile and laugh at how we considered playing McCammon and McPhee.
