I thought he showed glimpses of good skill and link play. Those around him didn't help. Think he might end up being a bit better than most of you think

See Scott Sinclair under Pardew.

He subbed him at Half Time in the week didn't he ? I imagine KF told him he wouldn't feature at the weekend so may as well do one now.

Perhaps Everton, a club with a good reputation for bringing through young players, withdrew McAleny knowing that young players don't thrive in a shambles.

Looked decent on the ball but never seemed that much of a threat. Seems to be one of those attacking players who you're not sure what is best position is.

With such a young squad he wasn't really the type of loan we needed.

I see spongefoot mark 2 hasn't lost his touch with his second goal in three games for Wigan:

Or is it just what confidence does for you?

Crap management. Clearly not a bad player.

I know I've said that we're not down until its mathematically confirmed but is anyone else looking at that fight for the League One title hoping that certain teams come up?

i.e. If we go down I'm hoping that Wigan get automatic whilst Sheffield United sneak into the Play-Offs (not too fussed about any of the other teams as Walsall would lose Bradshaw / Gillingham would lose Dack and Coventry wont have Armstrong.

If we stay up though I'm hoping that Burton / Walsall and Gillingham all come up... All have done really well this season as those three should surely be rivals for the other end of the table and deserve to be where they are

A thundering goal, but no one closed him down and he had a totally free shot. You don't get that luxury in The Championship (unless you're playing Charlton).
