By my count, Max has played 125 minutes this season, less than a game and a half. And over a third of those minutes came in that collectively poor performance at Wealdstone.
Despite that, he has a goal, two assists and an assist assist to his name. Watching this afternoon’s goal back, you cannot understate just how good that cross was - it simply dropped on Maguire-Drew’s head. Genuine, indisputable class.
It’s a massive cliche I know, but if he can keep himself fit in the second half of the season he really would be like a new signing. That’s a big ‘if’ of course, but that should be his sole focus now. His quality simply isn’t in doubt.
We may still be 10th, and may still have only won 1 in 10, but I feel much more optimistic this evening than I did just a matter of hours ago.

I mentioned it on another thread/platform but at the end we had some really decent young talent on the pitch. Similar to Scannel getting Max fit and available for a dozen or more games if not longer would add real value.

I also felt that there was some optimism today. We were agressive and if we had lost would have had applause from me. I can live with losing but I expect us to have a real go in a home game and we did. I want to see us follow up with a couple of decent performances. I want to see stability and Hurst come good and I hope that today is a catalyst for that. It felt like it could be a turning point and the players were playing for the management that was clear utm

Chris hargreaves said as much pre-match that ‘as long as players make the effort and put the shift in, then we are more fore giving’ or something like that

An 'assist assist'?

Quoted from 123614
An 'assist assist'?
Yeah, why not? Weymouth game, first match of the season. Plays it to Lennie, who plays it to McAtee, who sticks it in the back of the net. What’s tenuous about that?

I think the correct parlance is a ‘hockey assist’, where you assist the assister.

Save Max as an impact sub rather than hurting him as a 90 minutes player that could injure him again !!
