I agree now though that Maguire needs to make way for Helan or Hope on Saturday, it doesn't seem to be working for him at the moment...maybe he thinks that he is un-droppable and that the starting place is his and though his work rate seems to have improved his deliveries and work on the ball needs looking at and needs to pass more and not shoot as much as 9 times out of ten from what I hear they go wayward. SG has warned him that he isn't indispensable and has to up his game otherwise he'll find himself on the bench. On Saturday I'd like to see Hope on the right and either Maghoma or Helan on the left....but I feel that with Drenthe unavailable due to his loan conditions it'll be unchanged on the wings with Hope coming on for the last 20-15 mins.
Maguire was involved in setting up both our goals & set up Nuhui for the early chance so it would be rough to drop him after that performance. Maybe he is reacting well to SG's comments.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
