#1 - Andy McGrath - from April 2022

Agree

Play McGrath as a midfielder alongside Robey and Sharp. It would be a lot more accountable midfield. Durham to replace the young guns when they tire.

That Frees up Nguyen to play small defender and learn the role again. He was ok down there.

We are not in games, no matter if McGrath wins his Back pocket position.

I was very much a ā€˜wait and see’ type when he was given the captaincy and was even a touch optimistic after he produced possibly his best game for the club as a fill in captain last year.

But nothings changed. He’s still crap and fails to even do the basics right. I mean, ffs, why would a defender, let alone a fkn captain, play 5 metres off their man?

Duz as captain. McGrath to the reserves to work on his game.

McGrath is a huge part of our problem. I’d be happier trading him out to be honest

Exactly, when he plays midfield he gets cooked and can’t chase

No one’s taking McGarth and his contract. Too many flaws in his game (like many on our list).

Certainly tougher and a better kick.

Too true. Same with Parish

His best spot’s defensively minded inside mid. After that it’s back pocket.

He’s a mediocre kick, he’ll never really be a good winger.

Could not be more disappointed is his season both as a captain and as a player, was literally barely breaking into a trot on the weekend.

Pity he or any of his coaches haven’t felt the need to work on his kicking over the journey, I guess it would be pretty embarrassing for a no1 pick to have to work on such a basic skill so they’ve stuck they’re head in the sand and avoided the elephant in the room.

Don’t know if you don’t try

We did try. 2019 ? 2020 ?

Started the year inside mid, was pretty good. Got injured. Came back on a wing, sucked major balls.

What games? Don’t recall this

He cant be captain under the new coach.

Hird needs to put his foot down immediately on this.

I dont know who it should be but he better be making arrangements, even if it has to be some washed up leader from another club.

As a lockdown small defender he is still good and very useful

But he needs to stop calling for the ball and trying to kick it on the run. He needs to hit up 20-30m passes to the guys that can kick

He cannot be captain next year though. He just can’t

Back end of either 2019 or 2020.

Pretty broad statement

it’s funny you think the coteries would allow hird to do that :rofl:.
If hird is in charge, you better get used to mcgrath being captain, because the walking god complex himself will believe he is the one to fix mcgrath.

I’m starting to get a bit of a vibe that your not a fan of bringing Hird back
