Apart from the cross he was absolutely dire today, not alone though, we struggled to string 2 passes together

cheltsaxon · 13 Jul 2013, 16:49

Agreed that was the only cross that he made all game.

51/84 · 13 Jul 2013, 17:37

we had a 3 or 4 passing move to score the second

CS85 · 13 Jul 2013, 17:44

Apart from the cross for curetons goal mcglashan was useless today,wheres his confidence gone?,looked scored to take on a pub team left back.

13 Jul 2013, 17:54

McGlashan was seriously short on confidence rarely took on the Ciren full back who looked pub standard.

100% hit rate then, no doubt had he have made 99 other crosses that had no end result other than, too close to keeper, didnt beat 1st man, over everyones head, you would still moan. This is PRE-season, get over it!

CS85 · 13 Jul 2013, 18:20

Oh no he did attempt many crosses,but the rest were shite.

51/84 · 13 Jul 2013, 18:57

hes been upset by reading this board
but he tried to hard to score with the chance in the second half

To be fair this board has been extremely supportive of Jermaine apart from Horteng and to a lesser extent Shevates.

I like Jermaine but so what if he's upset? Every professional sportsman in the world gets criticised, he's got to grow a thicker skin and deal with it. Prove people wrong.

As for the chance he had to score I'd be worried if he didn't try hard

Easiest thing to do is leave and join a club in a higher division.

Wow McGlashan is certainly tearing these pub teams apart getting a couple of crosses over a game......

Horteng · 14 Jul 2013, 08:19

Were you at the same game asl?

Who gives a toss its all about fitness.What did you lot want him to do tare them apart himself and score ten goals FFS

RegencyCheltenhamSpa · 14 Jul 2013, 09:28

Spot on CV. Pre-season is all about fitness. I'd take a 5-0 defeat in the bail-out match if the effort and time each player made was in keeping with the fitness targets. Yates and his staff will surely know what weight, heart rate, watts output etc each player needs to be on day one of the season, and pre season is about that and the squad getting to recognise each other, not results.

Chelt Luke in Glos · 14 Jul 2013, 09:38

So what if Mcglashan had a 'bad' game. Unlike most people I happen to rate him and I dont think there is much better on the right side in our league. He has trickery and pace. Yes sometimes he lacks a quality cross or chance but I have seen him score some great goals and he tracks back and tackles, in my opinion he is one of our best players and I think he will have a great season.

Over the last 2 seasons I can name many games where he deserved MOTM (even in defeat)

14 Jul 2013, 09:46

Nope, I wasn't there. I offered no comment on Jermaine's performance, only repeating the quote from the official site.

Here's a question: if Jermaine were to be rubbish every game this coming season, yet produce one run or cross each game that directly led to a goal, would he still be first on the list to be got shut of at the first available opportunity?

It's the lower-league numbskull fan mindset I'm afraid. McG could to do one cross a game and nothing else, and Harrison could head each one of those crosses in the net. We could win every game of the season 1-0 and walk to the title and half the fans would abuse those players for not tracking back or getting stuck in and stuff like that.

Our leading scorer last season was labelled lazy, the second leading scorer and assister was abused viscously and then moved up a league, and our top assister is already being labelled as too slow and in need of replacement by some.
