McAtee

Just a personal opinion, and it’s one I’ve held since we signed him - think we need better. To be fair to him he’s had limited chances, and he’s done well in the Cup games in respect of attitude and work rate ..and I know there’s been remarks such as ‘best finisher in training etc ‘ but I’ve not seen evidence to suggest he can be a ‘consistent’ scorer of goals. Nothing against the guy - he comes across as personable and likeable, respected by colleagues etc - just don’t him as anything other than a squad member, used sparingly. Think PH said he liked Sousa, and he’s done better than he thought he might - but he was still released end of season. Orsi falls in that bracket for me, but if he’s here for another season bench warming then good for him and wish him well.

I do agree, clearly he's a really good lad and you can see from the stuff on social media, Mariners TV etc.. he's really bought into the club understands it and what we're trying to do, this alongside his work rate and attitude on the pitch he should be respected for, he'll need a pretty big second season though if he's to stay any longer.

Completely agree Jase.  Just think it's a shame the lad has had so limited opportunity to impress.  

End of the day, Hurst sees him day-in-day-out in training, we don't.  I'm pretty sure if he was standing heads and shoulders above everyone in training, it's not likely Hurst isn't going to use him when we've looked pretty meek up top.

Quoted from Mappers

Lloyd ,Taylor ,Orsi and then 2 other quality players up top would be a decent set .

I would be surprised if any of those three are here next season.

I have to agree with this (notwithstanding Orsi’s contract).  We have to look forwards not backwards, Lloyd is a keeper but not our player, Taylor I admire but his days are numbered at this level and Orsi simply hasn’t shown enough consistently.

We’re not going to be shopping in Fortnum and Mason, lets be honest, but an extra million or so moves us up from Poundland to Lidl.

Quoted from marinerjase

Not saying it’s likely..but you could have the three playing together. Taylor up top for the physicality, Lloyd the harrying and McAtee in the pocket behind. Of course that’s mean you lose in other areas of pitch so as said highly unlikely.

Didn’t think it’d be tonight 👀

Good to see, though leaves Holohan with a lot to do?
