Ressies tomorrow

Quoted from GyMariner

So is mcallister fully fit now then? Struggle to see why he isn't getting near the starting 11 when he's already got the experience of being promoted from this league, in a position that (over the seasons) we have been weakest in.

He's probably near match fitness now, obviously needs game time....however he's probably already got in front of him:- Gunning, Comely, Disley and Maxwell, so whilst i was encouraged by what i saw of him today, im sorry to say it, but i can't see him getting much of a look in, and from what i saw today, Maxwell is bound to feature soon.

For those who are as ancient as me, Maxwell reminds me of Duncan Edwards in build and style of play, Edwards used to stand with the ball at his feet and you just could not knock him off it, then he would take off on a run.
I don`t think he`s proper match fit yet but he never put a foot wrong today.  Maxwell that is!

Yes, his strength and physical attributes, together with heading ability in both boxes, will be an asset in front of a flat back four, he can also drop into left back when Andrew goes on a run.....he's certainly suited to the type of game when we need to battle and grind out a result....he looks a good player in the making.

If Maxwell is released at the end of this season to make space for Birminghams new signings i hope we try to sign him if he continues to perform well. Much as i like to see skilfull players i appreciate we have to win the ball in order to play. He adds to that physicallity we have lacked and i can see where MB is going here. If he gets the right players signed i feel he's going in the right direction.

Luke Maxwell is built like a brick wall. Had a terrific game today and looked really comfortable at all times. Think he only played one bad pass all game. Deffo will be in the side pretty soon.

Thought Maxwell did well today and all the players put in a shift. Noticed McAlister doing a lot of organising as well as some box to box stuff in addition to breaking up their play. Comley also did some good stuff too. O.K. It was versus Mansfields kids who acquited themselves well but I am not sure we have ever had so much cover/options in mid field

Agree with all of the above re Maxwell, one reservation i may have is his reluctance to use his right peg, when moved centrally in the second half he was turning inside to get the ball on his favored left side....only one game against a youthful Mansfield set up so far too early to pass judgement. It will be interesting to see him in the first team against seasoned league 2 players.

Berret still injured or not made the reserve squad?

Came on in second half playing right back until last 10 mins when one of the youngsters went to right back and Berrett moved into midfield.

Looked the same player as before the injury, so I can't see him forcing his way back into the team.

He was a sub?
