hinsleburg Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think he's been getting better and better if we're being honest and i'd be pleased to see this happen, however judging by other peoples comments on here i think i'll be in the minority.

BITW Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Would be pleased with that. Hes improved since joining us and has age on his side to perfect his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockneyrobin Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 He's an upgrade on McAllister... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Good defender, lacks one thing that is vital in a full back position which is pace. His positional game though is very good. Wouldn't be delighted neither dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Been great for us and is definitely a significant improvement on Macca nowadays. Also a good signing in the long term, giving his age. Sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Saturday proved one thing for me.... All these excuses made for mcallister are bollox - every time mcgivern got the ball, he just controlled the ball and waited for an option to pass - not once can I remember him lumping it aimlessly.

Brizzle Jordan Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Good thing about this signing would be that he's 21 and should in theory be our left back for a fair few years so that position would be something we wouldn't have to worry about like we have been for a very long time.

DayRider1984 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think McGivern could be a quality left back for us. Hes not scared to put in a tackle or go for a header, ok hes not the quickest left back around but since he has settled in he has been one of the real pluses for us so far this season and a permanent signing would be great news as a previous posted said due to his age could be our left back for seasons to come. if people think we should be going for someone with more quality then that's fine but are you willing to fund the millions of pounds required? oh the silence is deafening. I think McInnes will make the right choice and if he decides to get him in permanently then its good enough for me to. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think he's a good young player who will continue to get better quickly with more first team football and I'd be pleased if we signed him. It goes a little at odds with him having fairly recently signed a new deal with Man City though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd be much happier with Cunningham, he was immense on Saturday. I hear Albert has been fined for missing training today, apparently Cunningham forgot to take him out of his pocket after Saturdays game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one Cunningham is good I agree, still a young left back who's recentley signed a new deal at Man City like McGivern can't be bad can it?

Frenchay Red Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 McGivern is doing ok. I do wish though, that just once in a while, when he gets to make an attacking run, he can put a decent cross in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 only a 1 year extention i expect Runs til summer 2013 I understand, being an additional year on top of the deal he was already on. Pretty sure that's to cover them like we should have done with Liam Rosenior. Can't honestly see him having a future at Man City myself, can you? Hard to judge - if he'd come here and done a Caulker you'd probably say he did in the longer term (i.e. 3 yrs +). He's getting better now he's adjusting to the level here but it's a big ask to get anywhere near that sort of squad. Maybe you're right and it's just for compo.

In Albert's defence it took approximately two and a half Forest pockets to keep him quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens, every game though recently. More quality on the left would alleviate our one sided offensive problem, it's a problem that needs addressing.

RedRock Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 In Albert's defence it took approximately two and a half Forest pockets to keep him quiet. Which means one and half of our team ain't being marked so Woolford/Pearson should be ripping into the opposition. Perhaps not. Plan C please.

sephjnr Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 He's inconsistent but improving game-by-game. What I would like to see is him sticking as a sweeper and occasionally playing on the wing, not spending 99% of the game on the left wing and leaving a giant hole because Woolford wants to play LM even though he's supposed to be on the sodding wing.

Everything about your statement is bizzare ! Why would he be a sweeper he is a left back, and Woolford WANTS to play LM ?? it is not under 10's football he plays where he is told and on Saturday he was left of a front 3. We don't play a 4-2-4 formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
