First and foremost this is not a "Macca" bashing thread. I have noticed that in recent weeks there's been quite a few on here stating it's time for a change between the sticks and just wanted to gauge people's real thoughts on James. Now, for me in 10 years he's pulled of saves worthy of any "save of the season" whichever league we look at, from the premier down. My gripe is his delivery and lack of being able to command his 6 yard box. So it's really time for a change or do we accept his plus points outweigh any negatives within his all round game.. Again this is not a "let's slate" Macca nor a scapegoat type of thread, just open for discussion.

We all know Macca’s qualities and flaws… what we haven’t seen is what Max’s are. Hurst sees them both each day in training so he’s in the best position to make the call!

Every goalkeeper at this level will have strengths and weaknesses. If they were a decent all-rounder then they would probably be playing in League 1 or above.

He must be wondering why the hell he was signed as he's not even on the subs bench and on matchdays he's behind Pearson!
