so much maligned on this site but with him not out injured for the last few months i think we wud be higher in league. Thoughts?

Perhaps.

Absolute stone blind certainty .

Maybe so, he seems to give the defence much more confidence, but there's no point dwelling on the what could have been.

Does anyone know if he's due to play for us again?

is he really so maligned?

I think his knee is mangled

Earlier in season on here yes! 

targetted by pacier opposition and often bypassed in the game. He would've helped with some natural aggression, but would probably have been sent off a few times.

Definitely. Statistics suggest we would be 4-5 points better off. Then again we may have been 2-3 points better off is Mascarell was fit. Looking at Thorne and/or Martin missing and you are looking at a 10-12 point deficit.  .

I wonder what his points per game is this season ?

Yeah. He offered more discipline and protection than Omar but he wouldnt help us move the ball faster where we've sat on it too long. 

And he did get caught out of position. Plenty of times he's been too slow to get where he needs to be. 

Probably would have made us tougher to beat. But it's both ends we've had problems. He's not as good as Omar in possession. 

Maybe we should have gone with 2 lads in that position earlier? Because no one player quite nails it apart from Thorne?

ah well.

His stats are crazy this season. Not news tho is it?

Talking about his points per game... you have to look at who he's played with too. 

We've had problems taking chances and scoring goals. It's not all been about how poor we are without the ball at times. We've been poor on the ball too. I don't think he would have helped massively in that area. 

He's been a miss. But I don't think it was the difference between where we are now and automatics. 

Maybe Martin and Eustace combined? But then I think Cyrus Christie's thought process has cost us goals and chances at both ends.  

Remind me, what's our record with him in the side? 

​what are our stats with Leon Best in? Stats my arse!

Eustace/Mascarell as the holders in a 4231 i do believe was suggested back in the mists of time....
