We all love chris cohen, especially for his whole hearted non stop 100percent performances, so please can people explain to me why they seem so keen to get rid of jamie makie? Is he not a 100 percent player like cohen? Just like cohen he's not the most technically gifted player but has a great engine!

Fully agree we want more players that will die for our badge he won't be going anywere he's just what our pearcey likes.

Dont know why Some of us want Mackie gone. We need Mackie in our team/squad. A step backward to get rid of Mackie for me.

3.) 16 Jul 2014
What I would say is I like makie
its just were do you play him? up front he not score
on wing don't think he is a winger so crossing the ball in sometimes goes for throw in other side,
if we are looking at bringing in better then yes but I would keep him good squad player or to come on last 15mins

Mackie has a poor strike rate 4 goals in 38 appearances, he's not got the quality needed if we want to do well in this division, he hasn't got the vision or the composure to make a telling pass when it counts, I think we have better youngsters coming through who even now can do as good a job or better than Mackie, I agree he always gives 100% but no where near good enough, very average championship player I think he was a very poor signing last summer for £1,000,000

{Ed034's Note - disagree. think he's a great player to have in the side and would be my right sided player

Strange post this!
We don't want players just because they give 100% - parks players do that.
Giving 100% is a great attribute on top of talent. In my opinion Cohen has that talent and Mackie doesn't.
I do like Mackie's attitude though and he is probably worth keeping because I think his undoubted work ethic goes a long way.
I would also guess he is a Stuart Pearce type of guy.

{Ed034's Note - i dont understand what fans do not see in mackie. full backs hatep laying agaisnt strong wongers, that can turn and will run at them all day long. that's exactly what he does

He's woeful if played up front, we saw that last year, but on the wing he can breeze past people, runs at defenders and is direct, great worker and manages to get his work done with a bizarre technique, keep him as a winger and don't let him shoot!

What's a strong wonger ed

{Ed034's Note - its a tired ed writing winger lol

Mackie was one of the only players second half of last season who showed any kind of commitment. Drove forward at every opportunity and showed his versatility at right back against Brighton. Give the guy a break. He will do us proud again next Season.

Mackie forms part of our attacking threat and therefore should primarily be judged on his end product. He may be a handful who runs til he drops, but 4 goals & 6 assists last season was a poor return.

{Ed034's Note - he produces an attacking threat and can be used as a great outlet to start off attacks. just becasue he hasnt played the final ball, doesnt mean he hasnt contributed in goals

11.) 16 Jul 2014
He's hard working and wears his heart on his sleeve just what we need to keep

Took the words out my mouth he stood out end of season never stopped full credit to the man. just wot we want round the young ones wears his heart on his sleeve we need more like him. play him wide right he ll be player of season especially now we ave a gaffer who will fill u with confidence.

13.) 16 Jul 2014
Just want to chuck it in that although I don't think Mackie is the most gifted of our squad, he does turn and run at defenders and makes opportunities.

For me, he makes the squad every week, maybe not the starting XI every week however but I'd keep him.

14.) 16 Jul 2014
The secret of success is to pick a winning team not a team of your best players. Mackie is one of our best team players and should be one of the first names in the squad every week.

15.) 16 Jul 2014
If you play Mackie, then I wouldn't play Cox. Both hard working but few goals/assists from either.

16.) 16 Jul 2014
Also in response to original post, Cohen is a great crosser (probably obly Reid better) so I don't think its just about him giving 100%.

{Ed034's Note - wow

17.) 16 Jul 2014
Let's try and give all the lads a clean sheet for the start of the season. Last year was a nightmare and we don't really know what went on but most of the players must have been completely lost and confused.

Mackie and Cox may well cove good this season with a steadied ship and decent leadership.

No good slating anyone on last seasons form, it's history and this season is a new start

Come on lads be positive and trust the new management team to get rid of who they want. Whoever stays we must back them and give them our support.

18.) 16 Jul 2014
I agree. I wasnt trying to be negative about Mackie but I personally think Cohen is much more effective than a "100% effort" type of player. I want Mackie to stay and with the quality coming in you have to be positive about our chances.
