First it was Clifton, then Efete and now it's McAtee.
A big difference here for me, Clifton and Efete it was their individual ability that has been questioned, whereas with McAtee it hasn't, just whether we are a better team with or without him.

Anyone who has potential doubts as to whether we are a better team with or without John McAtee needs to ask themselves this hypothetical question:
Luton offer us another season-long loan next season, on the proviso that he starts every league game he is fit and available for. Do you take it; yes or no?
Stop being a disrupter when you know the answer!!

There is no difference. Their value to the team has been questioned and the reasons are irrelevant. The manager however, a man with 30 years experience playing and managing in the EFL and National League, thinks they are worthy of a place. Clifton and Efete got past the criticism and so will McAtee.

but no one is questioning McAtee in this thread, but the team set-up and whether we are getting the best out of him and the team. Edit, ok maybe one or two have criticised McAtee but I certainly haven't in this thread.

The first bit I agree with, but the last paragraph about what he reads? How do you know this? He’s active on Twitter but I’d be surprised if he debases himself to this level.
Not sure if you follow him but it’s quite apparent he searches himself on there judging by the stuff he likes. I don’t blame him, I’d do it too, but it means he’d have seen the recent less complimentary stuff too, which I think is unfair on him.

Yeah the hundreds of thousands of posts on here of town fans talking complete and utter shïte.
So, no. Just an opinion like the rest of us.

I’m assuming from you’re hypothetical question, that you would say yes and find other answers incredulous. Right now I’d say no. Why would we build a team around a player who is not propelling us forward? Last year he did. This year he isn’t. And the majority of our better performances/results this season have come without him (early in the season or in the cup). He’s been a great player for us but this season he's been bang average and next season he isn’t ours. Let’s not put our faith in what is, to all intents and purposes, a loan player.

I mean this, and the other critical stuff about him and the others named is just tosh. I hope if there are so called fans criticising him on Twitter he can just dismiss it as only one or two bigmouths who don’t know what they’re talking about. Always the same when we have a bad spell….some small sections of the fan base turn on individual players. He must think ‘you ungrateful b**tards with short memories.’.

Sorry I misread your post I thought you meant he looked on here too, apologies. Personally I still think his ability to change a game means he’s our most dangerous player, he has a great work rate and despite what people try and insinuate a good attitude.
