ropy Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The club trying to sneak Toby’s agreement through behind the big news about Fox. McGinley is a good defender. Everything else he needs to work on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 He's an error in waiting even on a good day - and when he does sell the shirts he often falls apart. He offers bugger all going forward. For all that, I could actually live with him as back-up to someone decent. But when we've already got one so so LB, retaining the other and not looking to improve that position for next season is a major mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compelling evidence that he is not. Not good enough. He offers almost nothing. Finding proper full backs should have been our priority for the Summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allroy for Prez Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Get this news tae f**k! Absolutely rotten player. Are they trying to tell us there aren’t better fullbacks available on our budget out there?

'WellDel Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 42 minutes ago, well fan for life said: Hot take: Nathan McGinley is absolutely fine for us. I suppose if you're happy remaining on a par with where we are now, then 'fine for us' is ok. I've criticised him in the past when he's had a bad game, and likewise, I've voiced my opinion in games where the flak he's received has been o.t.t. In his mid-twenties he still has some glaring deficiencies in his game, and whereas Mugabi has come on leaps and bounds under Alexander's defensive coaching, I just don't see McGinley being capable of making the same progress. If we're settling for fine, fair enough, but to push on and improve we need to, and should, be looking to recruit better on the left side of defence as neither him or Carroll perform well enough on a consistent basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 McGinley got a little OTT criticism that has led to some revisionism against his name as a reaction... for some reason.He’s not good enough to start. I hope this is just securing someone for cover rather than actually being part of our plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 McGinley is no world beater but he’s absolutely fine as a back up option for left back/centre back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That presents the intrinsically linked issue of Nathan Mcginley appearing as many as 28 times for us this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapowzer Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Well this news has taken the shine off Celtic being papped oot. Very limited and a shitebag on top of it too. Certainly most peoples weakest link when he plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's a fine option to have around. If a good left back comes up in the summer I would be all over it, but he is good cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with limited football players...i am a Motherwell fan. But we've been put under pressure multiple times and lost goals from his area due to him shitting out a tackle or thinking about shitting out it. If he can sort that out consistently (he's got a wee bit better at times) then he becomes a decent enough option for me. EDIT: He seems like a nice lad and that to be fair. Needs a psycho side installed. Edited February 24, 2022 by eliphas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lamie is fucking off to Dens then one of either Carroll or McGinley becomes a potential back-up CB which potentially means there's a left back spot on the go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I don’t particularly rate McGinley, but I find the comments on Twitter (which he’ll probably see) quite counter productive. What do people aim to achieve with stuff like that? Hardly going over the top on praise but he’s not Joe Chalmers or Stephen Hendrie, so there’s definitely an element of better the devil you know with the new contract. As @capt_oats said, it really shouldn’t have come as a shock to him getting a new deal. If only he could bulk up and learn how to put a cross in…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I lasted two seconds of that video until I heard his accent. McGinley is an alright back up but he shouldn’t be a starter at our club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 In the last few weeks alone - every single member of our defence, Ricky Lamie aside, has been solely responsible at some point for us losing absolutely shite goals - some on multiple occasions - but don't get close to the level of stick that McGinley gets. He isn't the best player in our squad and shouldn't be an automatic starter and I'm not trying to argue that he is something that he isn't - but he clearly isn't a confident boy and him being saddled with the scapegoat role that every motherwell team requires by law isn't helpful. If I was in charge, I would have kept Lawless on in all his unrepentant staunchness just so he could take that mantle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
