Carl Magnay... Is he a little too perfect?

Completely tongue in cheek... He has been without question our most consistent player this season. The only mistake I seem to remember him making was last week when he was the wrong side of one of Guiseley's players when defending a throw in. His post-match interview after today's game was clean cut, well versed and very impressive. Surely there must be something he can't do without making a mistake?

Agreed, everything about him his just perfect, seems like a proper down to earth bloke who hasn't took what he has got for granted and appreciates the support we give him and the team.

He's had a lot of shots on goal.
I genuinely hope he scores because at what point do you wonder if he should be having these pops at goal so regularly ?

To be clear I don't mind any player having as many gos at goal as they like, good luck to em all !
But when there's other teammates in the area/in front perhaps defenders should sometimes try to find them instead of the goal ?

So glad he's here though - my MOM today.

Word is... he leaves the toilet seat up and often forgets to put the top back on the toothpaste..

Think I'll keel over if he does this on Tuesday night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh6-h7PHlzM

It's only fair that he has his own song too. How about this?


Ohhhh Carl Magnay! He used to be at Chelsea but he's at Grimsby now.

Don't sell Magnay,
Super Carl Magnay,
I just don't think you understand.
If you sell Magnay,
Super Carl Magnay,
You'll have a f**king riot on your hands.

I think he might too!

I've filled my player of the year form in already and Carl Magnay wins it all for me. Player of the year, most improved player, under 21 player of the year and biggest member of the year. Well done Carl and UTM.

Without getting carried away like some it has to be said, he is a very consistent and very accomplished player indeed. There is noway he should be playing at this level as he is capable of being a. League player for sure. Simple question for everyone on here,
Can anyone honestly name 48 better right backs playing above him in leagues 1&2. Right now?
Easy answer,no way but am pleased he is with us but for how long remains to be seen, nice bloke and good player, a promotion would look very good on his CV.

Being ultra critical, you could argue he lacks a yard of pace? But is he a full back? I think we signed him as a centre back. He's done great all over the back four and even did well briefly as a holding midfielder. He's class, how on earth did Gateshead release him? Good for us, good for him I suspect as he has a contract at a bigger and much better club.

Great goal ! Hope he does too !

I'm afraid you're missing the point.
I didn't say he shouldn't shoot - he's obviously got a good shot in him.

Point I'm making is we've got to mindful we don't waste promising approach play if there's teammates available in better positions.
I know it's a love in [edit: ok it's not lol] but no-one is beyond constructive criticism and I've already seen him be guilty of this twice.
So the free kick example isn't really what I'm getting at.

I'll be the first to cheer when he hits the back of the net.

Player of the season no doubt.

Excellent so far.

Rodman for magnay!

Have to agree that Carl is far (not a little) too perfect - though I can find it within myself to forgive him.

Threads like this scare me a bit...tempting fate? Town 0 Oxford 1 (Magnay o.g.).....???

This conversation has got me thinking....

Wouldn't it be sods law if Magnay came good in front of goal tonight without a penny invested ?...

I've gone....

£2 Magnay 1st goalscorer 22/1
£1 Magnay to score 2 or more @ 100/1

If you fancy hitting the jackpot it's 450/1 the hat-trick !

Speaking of which I'm also having a nibble on Neilson and Pittman for hattricks at 100/1 (if they play)

Course I firmly expect them ALL to go down the toilet. (and also share chiangmaimariners concern)
But would be kicking myself if I didn't have a nibble and he confirmed his hero status tonight.
