I was at the game and watching mackay its disbelieving how wilson doesnt have him in his line up he's better than ritchie barker who is the laziest player in the squad
I'm sorry but you can't call Barker lazy, that's just bollocks. On one occasion in the second half on Tuesday he threw his whole body into two 50:50 challenges within about three minutes and won them both, the guy might have no pace but he works his nuts off for every minute he's on the field.
He may not be mosts cup of tea at this level but to to label him 'lazy' is utter piffle.
Mackay might score plenty in the ressies but I've seen nothing at first team level that suggests he should be starting, he needs to improve his play outside of the area and gets pushed off the ball far too easily. He has a chance but he has a way to go yet, you know what you sort of shift you are going to get out of a player like Barker he's a good honest pro with Moore on his way we really do need another forward in the squad as we are short in that area you can't blame Wilson for playing Barker at the moment he has little other choice.
