2024, the year of the Shrimpers 🍤 ⭐
i think we will see this year that bailey and maher carried macca, now its a time to stand up a be counted.
How did they carry Macca?

The point being missed is that Maher was judged not good enough last season and then dropped.
Why a year later is he then deemed good enough again ? He is certainly better option in the short term than Moussa/Grant but Id rather we looked for a replacement than just go back to what was deemed inadequate previously.
We need to bring someone new in now and stop looking back. Maher was a good player for us but its time to move on.
Dont get me wrong, I was a big Maher fan, however the fact we got two players in better than him showed what he didnt provide us regarding mobility.
However you dress it up he was 3rd choice last season and is now a year older.
We do need a central midfielder with experience and hopefully we will get someone in sooner rather than later, then hopefully this thread will be irrelevant.
The fact is Maher would be useful right now but it wouldnt be the right thing to do to keep him languishing in reserves until the rare occassions he is required. As Ive said Id rather we brought someone new in to move us forward.

I think you will find he was good enough, but Tilson made a big error of judgement of letting his heart rule his head when the shenanigans went on between Maher and Moussa...Maher should never have gone on loan. The only reason he did was because Tilson was NEVER going to play him, no matter how good he was!!

You're sure of this are you ?
Let me ask you this. Who would you have rather of seen on the bench last year, Moussa or Maher?
In all honesty Moussa.
I was a fan of Maher but after his very impressive season in the championship imo he was very poor last season.
How did they carry Macca?
just watch when he comes back, maher was the holding midfielder and would cover all the space behind macca.
Bailey would do the same.
Don't get me wrong I think Moussa will be good in time and so will Grant (I think he is an even better prospect than Moussa) but IMO even taking account his age, the last time I saw him, Maher was still better than both of them.
if you think grant's going to be better than moussa then you've been drinking to much before the game. i will eat my pants at the end of the season in the spread eagle while chanting you are a better man kneeling at your feet, then watch the game with pencils up my nose and an old pair of pants on my head

Personally, I think Grant will become the better player. Moussa may be very good technically but (forgetting Friday) he's too anonymous in matches at the moment - I often forget he's even playing.
Grant covers far more ground and, though his radar was off on Friday, he is actually a very decent passer of the ball usually.
I hope Moussa proves me wrong but I'm not sure he'll play above League 1 level. Grant should develop into a decent Championship player.
Hey how come you have 2 pairs of pants? Show off!
So how can we judge this? How about we see who plays the most games / minutes this season (then we are trusting Tilly's judgement)!
Agreed, Grant is a quality player. He was definitely off on his passing game on Friday, he made a few bad one touch passes instead of putting his foot on the ball but IMO, he has a better touch and better positional sense than Moussa. That's why he was involved in more of the game.
sorry guys I have watched him playing and i cannot see him making it in this league, i hope i'm wrong as we signed him.
