***Macclesfield Town Official Matchday Thread***

Sesay had another very good game up until his mistake that led to ther goal, however he got up dusted himself off and clearly scared their 14 as he was replaced with the 22 soon after Sesay made him look silly on a few occasions

Willock was a joy to watch a real quality player and it looks a very good loan signing well done to Selim on this one

I thought we were the better team in both halves as did nearly everyone in the east stand area where i sit and was always going to be hard to break down a team 1 up from the first half who were clearly trying to keep 11 behind the ball to protect the lead

Young got a much deserved goal and it clearly mean't the world to him not sure why he gets so much hate when at the very least he actually cares about the club and the fans

Now the negative points

Palmer has already packed his bags and was bloody awful for 75 minutes he fails to win anything in the air, he had 2 glorious chances and missed the target on both occasions, he whinged constantly and as for Poleon he was also very poor but at least put a shift in but again doesn't get himself into the right positions to receive the ball from the midfield

Surely Mr Cioffi must start Camara and German if at least to see what they can bring to the table as quite frankly our front 2 are clearly done with the club

Another cracking result against a top team then 🙄

The season is petering out fast, with our top 10 budget we are just about managing to stay clear of danger. I heard our owner showed up today to....I wonder if he recognised any of the players.

Another summer where a good clear out is needed.

Still Stephen will surely be telling us how marvellous it all is....shame that his laryngitis was playing up at the forum when GC needed his support.

Funny how on Twitter he says he is fully fit.....

What ever the performance we got a valuable point. If we had lost I think we may well have been in the sh1t

Cannot believe I watch the same matches as our manager as the last three home games have been pretty tedious. When was the last time an away keeper really had to earn his money? These days they don't even need to get their knees dirty. Willock I thought looked good for half an hour but faded away (I actually thought apart from their goal that Sesay did more for longer) and it was again left to DB to cover every blade of grass trying to keep us going. Somebody earlier said we were better side but where (not a view shared by my area of East Stand or from views expressed in REDZ)? After the first ten minutes they realised we had no real attacking threat and were the better side and it was only when they stupidly (for them) sat back 2nd half that we got back in the game without offering much threat. Our defence look fairly solid now but our forward line is a real problem as Palmer seems to have already backed his bags, can we offer Southend a BOGOF deal and throw in Poleon?

So no play off push with our top ten budget then?!!! (Also thought Willock looked good but for half an hour then faded away)

I don't think he's been the same player since he came back from the injury lay off - which is a great shame as I think he is a skilful and talented player. He was the first player to be subbed at Northampton last week but if he is fully fit then it is a strange thing to leave him out of the squad altogether, especially with Gambin still missing. I hope we are not developing another Vincelot situation.
