McAtee is at a real crossroads in his career right now. We've all seen his ability but that's 8 goals in 3 seasons in League football and he's not showing nearly enough to indicate he's going to be even a good lower division footballer at present.
He should be one of the better players in the division. He's not even the best player in a mid-table team at present.
The question is, what does he need to do to make the improvement? I suspect another loan period for him next season as Luton won't need him as things stand, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up. I have to say, I'd be surprised if he came back here again.
A move elsewhere may be the making of him.
I can never thank John enough for what he did last season, particularly given that he played through that shoulder injury, but he needs to fulfil his potential. I don’t think that will be at GTFC or, more sadly, at the level his ability warrants. |

Well....that was fking terrible for 80 odd mins.
Odd selection again in shape/ personnel. Half time shape change helped us to move forward but zero quality all over and lack of link ups.
Orsi and Lloyd gave us movement, running in behind and link ups and impetus.
Largely undeserved 3 points but that's football.

He needs the ball played to his feet which didn’t happen today, he is still enthusiastic but he has been nothing like he was last season. |

Did we get lucky? The match stats indicate we dominated most areas - shots, shots on target, more possession, more corners.

If Luton did not sign McAfee when they did they would not have signed him on this season's form.
Maybe we could buy him back at a cut price but would we want him.?
Possibly he might regain last season's form if his head is concentrated soley on GTFC.

He’s got a lot of work to do to impress Rob Edwards who wasn’t the manager when he signed. I’d expect to see him loaned out to a L1 club next season especially if they go up. He’s clearly a good lad, I wish him well and I’d expect him to prosper if he ends up in an environment where he’s not one of the best players yet. |

We are now level on points with Swindon, who everyone said were lightyears ahead of us!
Yeah, but they have an inherent disadvantage by giving Jody Morris the manager's job  |

I know the game is poor mate but if all your concerned about is slagging your own support off for their song selection after they’ve paid and travelled to an away game regardless of the distance you’ve probably given those who take the p1ss out of this forum plenty to go at.
What would you prefer a couple of choruses of the song referencing Peter Sutcliff or maybe a round of In the Yorkshire Slums.
Is it too much to ask that we aspire towards a bit of originality? Hartlepool came Friday, singing that silly Liverpool song with the daft hand clap, by Monday we are doing the same. Tinpot I quite enjoyed the game and the 2nd half performance. |

We were singing that weeks ago. The team that finished the game should start on Saturday. |
