There is a fine line between total commitment to the cause and being seen as half hearted. Sometimes you are damned if you don't and damned if you do. In the game last season, if he hadn't had made a challenge would he have been chastised? I would rather have an honest defender who makes the odd error of judgement than one who isn't bothered or is continually on the edge. I am sure he will turn into a good pro - he may not have great pace, but he can certainly play and seems to read the game well.
just so you know - it wasnt a doom and gloom post, more a case of calling on the opinions of people who have seen him play a lot, personally i agree with the consensus he seems to lack pace for a youth but a great reader of things and can only really be a case of ironing out a few creases in his game over the next couple of seasons
UTB
Think its something to keep an eye on rather than to worry about. One of the problems last season was poor discipline. Problem is some people see a two footed lunge as thuggery while others see it as passion for the cause.
Someone needs to have a quiet word with him and explain he doesn't want to spend his career as a marked man.
It appears from the reports tonight that this sending off was like his previous as in they were both stopping a clear foal scoring opp rather than serious foul play.
I like Maguire but does he not get caught out a bit when pace comes into it? Stead made a meal of it yes but he's now been sent off twice and didn't he make a silly mistake for a goal towards the end of last season? Can't remember who against, it was at home though??
I also don't think his reading of the game is that great either.
Re Foxy's point about him getting forward, there's an interview with him on Blades Player and he says as much about having cover behind him so it's obviously something we're working on. Could be a decent price for 1st goal scorer next season![]()
he also says he's learning from Collins...uh-oh.
He often looked a step ahead of most opponents at youth level, different game once you move into the first team though.
His pace is an issue, but hopefully one that the rest of his game will make up for.
With his willingness and usefulness going forward, we're going to have to make sure we have speedy defenders/a pacey midfielder to cover for him.

That's the way Barlow described it, a player got in behind him and he just naively went for the tackle in desperation. He has to learn when to accept he has been beaten, as a penalty and red card is usually much worse than just a conceded goal.

If only there'd been a bookies at Boundary Park![]()
Should have used Ladbrokes online like I did

As Daz says, there was a bookies in the ground at least in our side of the "moat".
Or just get hold of Monty and stick him in a hole.
