Good news about Solly. I’ll be very pleased to see him back in the team when fully fit. Hopefully Parky will give Waggy and Solly a run of a few game in the side and a chance to build a good partnership on the right.
Baldy Mac’s comments sounded very honest. Will be interested to see if Semedo and Mac can work together over a few games.

I would not change thr RB postion right now, the Carlisle game i think SF created 2 or 3 of te girls from his crosses.
[cite]Posted By: Dizzle[/cite]Id give Mac a go with Semedo now i think. Hes more of a box to box than The Rac. Scored a decent header vs Orient if i remember correct.
Cant do no worse than Rac to be honest
Actually he did do worse, that was why he was dropped and that was, playing along side Semedo.

True, BUT...
Racon has been with us for how long? He has not exactly, shall we say, been consistent with his performances, to say the very least. A few flashes here and there doesn't convince really!
McCormack has only had a handful of games, was impressive in a couple, made some very clean, aggressive tackles (which is a potential that we really, really need). McCormack then had 1 really bad game/ got injured and has not played since.
I would give McCormack another chance now seeing as Racon has not exactly been setting the world on fire himself! He is obviously wanting to prove himself following the statement so let's give him the chance.

You have apoint about Racon. However Mac needs to earn a recall, there will be chances for him from the bench.
Also it doesn't have to be a choice between Racon or Mac. My gut feeling is that Semedo and Mac do the same job and are not the best pairing unless we go 5 in the midfield then it would be a different matter.
I am expecting the game to start at a frantic pace, and we will need Mac's aggression in the middle. I believe that the game will be won by whoever controls the midfield. I've loved what I have seen of Solly so far, in Curbs day we would probably have let him go and then waited for him to come back and haunt us. Whatever else happens I want to see that the whole team is playing for the shirt. COYR.

Hmm, I just think that while we are conceding too many goals: Semedo/McCormack (in place of Racon) will tighten up the midfield. We are too open as a team with Racon in the middle - he doesn't get involved enough for me, certainly doesn't close his man down and hardly ever tackles/breaks up their play. Semedo is more often than not having to mark 2 men and needs help from a battler - not a bottler!
I would certainly like to see the Semedo/McCormack pairing have another go now - lord knows Semedo/Racon have had enough airtime now - it simply is not working
It's just utter madness to play Racon in the middle away from home, if you play with say a combination including or some of Waggy, Reid, Martin, Anyainsah, or Benson. Having 5 attack minded players away from home in the front six is just imbecilic, 2-2, 3-4 or not. As our record of two wins away from home proves.
Racon has given a very poor return since he's been in the team. McCormack looked much better in his first few games than Racon has ever done. OK so in a few games McCormack came off the boil, Racon never was on the boil.
What's the problem with bringing on Racon in home matches if there is a stalemate? This situation is made for him. McCormack's shown a willingness to adapt and improve in his words, something that Racon never has done 70-80 games. The criticism I give to Racon, is exactly the same Brighton fans had of him when he was on loan in 07-08. Dissapears for long phases, is nothing for the majority of quite a few matches and has a silky stunner in between.
Comments
Now, Racon. Do you have anything to add to McCormack's statement?!
Good news about Solly.
I know it's written by a journalist but he comes over as an articulate man as well.
I can see more of a role for him in CM now that Jackson is playing LM.

Think we are short of a creative player in there. Loan?
One game though!
Seen plently more bad performances from Racon over how many seasons now?
