Now i love macca and really rate him as a player but it would seem our worse form is happening when he is playing.

Maybe they trying to play the game to suit macca rather than how we play without him?

He hasnt set the world on fire since he has been back and to me is very droppable at this moment in time.

I think it's less regards McAtee returning and more missing Taylor.  It's a cruel twist of fate that the first game Taylor missed was the same game McAtee returned (Doncaster).

Town league stats with Taylor starting:

Games - 14
Points Gained - 22
Points Per Game - 1.5
Goals Scored - 18
Goals Per Game - 1.28

Town stats with Taylor not starting:

Games - 13
Points Gained - 11
Points Per Game - .84
Goals Scored - 13
Goals Per Game - 1.0

Purely on the the stats, but without Taylor you're looking like a 39 point a season side (third bottom last season, a point ahead of relegated Oldham).  With him, 58 points (joint 13th with Bradford and Orient).  Those numbers don't take into account the fact that Taylor and McAtee, a pairing that brings the best out of each other, have only played 23 minutes together all season (away at Orient on the opening day).

His cracking goal and also an assist in the 3-0 demolition of Crewe didn't coincide with bad form did it

Crewe aside , he's not far wrong.   He often attempts more complicated things when a simple pass would be more effective.  Maybe that's because he should be playing with players of a higher standard.

He had two of our best efforts on Tuesday. One well saved and one half chance he made himself that flashed past the post.

Although I always liked Macca I think Crocombe is an able replacement

Can't say I've ever seen Crocombe play right-back!

I love how the thread has descended rapidly into macca 1, macca 3 and mcatee, er macca3.  😀

More seriously, we miss Taylor, hopefully he's back soon, and hopefully that suits our cluster of non target men strikers!
