Mackie

mackies never say die attitude will always get him in my team , he knows hes not the most gifted talent in our team but why do people keep knocking him, the fella gives 100 per cent every game.... would swp have had the composure to score the winner v liverpool not in a million years...... encourage your players dont knock them

i love jamie but sometimes he reminds me of a dog chasing its own tale!

Agree (kind of) with the first bit about todays game; Huth did have him in his sky rocket all game.

But to say he's been $hit all season when hes out 2nd top scorer and scored some of the most important goals of our seaosn? Have a day off.

I did have a day off, it's bank holiday....as for important goals? I agree, but who's to say another player on the day wouldn't have scored or set up a goal or two? Impossible to say but I stand by my statement, he is/has been - s.hit.

You can't really say he's been sh*t...Ok some games he has not played that well in this season, but to be honest a lot of our players have been crap most of the season anyway. Mackie has been one of our best players this season, so calling him sh*t must mean that most of the other players have been Really sh*t!

yet again I think we saw the best and worst of mackie - brave, full of effort, charging about - but not much guile, running into a wall of defenders with his dead down. not looking up to see when to release the ball. great lad and will always be grateful to him for the winner against liverpool and some other crucial goals (eg the equaliser up at Swansea) but he is quite limited. hopefully hoilet or similar in his place next season if we stay up with mackie coming off the bench if we are in need of a bit of passion.

an amazing effort from the young man. heart on sleeve kind of fella. a lot of players in the english game have made their name through hard work and although we all love a bit of guile and skill you can never put down your bread and butter players. top man imo.

[NW9_RANGER]

He's exactly the type of player needed for a relegation battle, gets the crowd going by pressing players and running with the ball as quick as he can up the other end but I wouldn't think twice about replacing him if we stay up.

[Yousef]

He is our Grant Holt

SWP for Mackie ?????

[Mellowhoop]

If we stay up, I'd rather someone else played right wing with him coming into games late on.

I must say his attitude and commitment can't be faulted but he has not quite been up to the mark for most of the season. BUT he may have just kept us in the Prem by letting the ball run out for a corner on Sunday from which we scored. normally he would be trying to keep the ball in, I also agree he could have gone down in the box a couple of times especially one time in the 1st half. but then would he be any better than a certain Mr Young at Man Utd?

He's one of the players we need to keep if we're going to go through another transformation. Need his passion in the team.

Agreed.
Hill as well! Represents continuity.

Mackie was getting beaten up badly...at least twice he was fouled with no call at all.
