Molyneux

[Usher wide.]

Gaz, you have seriously dented any credibility you thought you had.  One on ones are not an open goal and require composure to finish, we see plenty missed.  Moly's first goal last night was another great opportunist finish but the defender's error that led to it only happened due to Moly chasing down the defender and causing his error, you totally ignored that because it doesn't suit your agenda.  His one on one which he chipped over the keeper was a sublime piece of skill and you think it was a given it should be scored?

As for Moly's 2nd goal tonight I am far from convinced he intended it as a shot but what is indisputable is that he put the ball into a danger area making it virtually impossible to defend which we have all been bemoaning our inability to do this season.

You are really not getting the point.

I think it’s you that’s not getting the point.

As someone has already posted, without Molyneaux’s contributions this season we certainly wouldn’t be sat in second spot in the division.

He is without doubt the stand out player in the side. First name on the team sheet.

You’ve stated in the past that Maxwell was the most ‘valuable’ player at the club. After last night’s game you ‘gave that accolade’ to Olowu.

IF we had to lose one player between Molyneaux, Olowu or Maxwell, I reckon the majority of supporters (certainly on this forum) would vote to ‘lose’ Maxwell, Olowu, Molyneaux, in that order.

Hopefully we will be promoted this season & have the luxury of all three wanting to stay.

Just my opinion.

[Chris Black come back]

He’s got strengths, he’s got weaknesses. Two things he definitely has though are a tremendous work rate and a load of stats over the last two seasons that are very impressive.

[Copps is Magic]

He's our best player. Why is there a debate over our best player?

He's our best player. Why is there a debate over our best player?

Exactly, the debate is exactly that. I find it very strange how he can even be questioned. Everybody has dips in form. It's how us as supporters, support them through it. When you have stats like his it is not lack of effort. If it is lack of effort then that needs to be questioned. LM sits nowhere near that category. I'm actually ashamed that this has even happened.

[selby]

Like every winger apart from the very very best every generation has, a little inconsistent,  but when on it exciting and a game changer, enjoy him when he is on it, he is a game changer at our level, but not a Best, Saka, or Garincha, but a good important player for us, and to his credit a grafter off the ball, which is really important to us.
  And a good lad in the dressing room to have, and as recent revelations have brought out into the open cares deeply.
  We can't expect any more of a player, and he fully deserves our support.

[JonWallsend]

Just my opinion but Luke Molyneux is a very good player. His goals and assists this season have managed to fire us up to second in the league.
However, I can tell unequivocally  that Luke Molyneux  is a fantastic human being,  a proper family  person, a super role model, someone who cares about this club and is desperate to fire us into league one.

[Lesonthewest]

Sorry GazLaz, but I just do not get you comments.
Yes the first goal was a bad mistake by their player, however mols was there to press the guy and was on the front foot for any such mistake. So therefore not a total gift, surely you have to give credit for that!

With the second, i am sure mols will say it was was a cross or shot, however whichever it was, he created the space and provided a ball into the danger area.

I sometimes get frustrated with mols, but this is because the guy is so talented, i don,t think it helps when he is playing too far out, and would like to see him playing more towards the centre.

One things for certain, he should not be getting the level of abuse that has occurred over the last few months.

He was excellent last night, quicker with & without the ball, & his finish was as clinical as they come. Looks like the abuse has effected his game, & that's disgraceful. Yes it's a very small minority & he must recognise that, but we really need to get behind the lad in the stands because when he's on it, he could well make the difference in the run in. We need to show him we are right behind him.

Dead chuffed for LM, there are some sad sacks on social media.... grow up.

[andyst79]

People were right to question his form at that moment in time, as usual though a minority take it too far. The best way to answer the critics is to perform on the pitch which he's doing at present. Hopefully the whole experience has galvanised him and he's come out stronger for it the other side.

[Lesonthewest]

Retaining Molineux for this season was the best business done, I doubt we would  now be in an automatic promorltion position without him in the side.

Yes makes me wonder had he not received the abuse, it wouldn't have effected him & we may have had a few more points on the board.

[Lesonthewest]

I think molyneux would be a good candidate for a huge flag surfer banner, or TIFO display for the palace game.
To show him our support, and we are with him with any mental health issues.

I'll contribute.

Me too.

[Red wizard]

That's the difference..   

Constantly pull out slight negatives, everybody has them. Say he was gifted goals when they are good finishes and difficult holding off defenders, speed required to get there. This is why quite a few talents coming to doncaste rovers the years have amounted to nothing. Get behind them, positive, help drive them forward and help them get to be a better player, rather than drag off and say he hasn't got the mentality.
There's a different way to the typical Doncaster way.

We can all achieve something with 90% positivity and drive, not skill.

We ALL need people behind us helping though, not hindering.

We have a decent tone, get really behind him, infact quite a few decent ones at the moment. He does stand out though.

The goals can both be “gifts” and ok finishes can’t they. The one on ones he has scored you would expect him to. I’m not sure any of that is incorrect.

Gaz I 100% get what your saying and your also bang on saying he won't get given them chances every week. However, you say he should score them but how many players at our level miss them a week. He still has alot to do. He's our best player by far in our attacking department and probably the best wide player in our league. People see to much top level football now and forget what level we play at.  Not saying you Gaz as you are one of the more knowledgeable posters on here

[Red wizard]

He's our best player. Why is there a debate over our best player?

Attacking wise. We have good players all over Tbf for the level we are.

[pib]

Our best players always tend to get a lot of stick for some bizarre reason. Marquis was the same despite scoring 26, 15, and 26 in his three seasons with us. And the criticism Copps used to get is airbrushed from history now.

Perhaps it's people's frustration that they're not consistently great all the time. But how many players are at the level we operate at?

The most important point concerning Molyneux and his performances lately is what he has to say about the effects of social media on players .He reminds us they are human beings !  .

It reminds those who use social media that if you take seriously & too personally everything that is posted about you, on any of these platforms, then it’s time to put that tablet or whatever away &  ‘immerse yourself in the real world’ again where you can look people in the face, listen & ‘feel’ where you are in reality.

I don’t & never have felt the need to go online to find out about Mrs Carter’s daughter’s trip to Nepal where she met a man who was once married to a Yeti…….or was that The Sun?

Yes, I remember 'his legs have gone' comments about Copps when he was in his early thirties... f***ing numbnuts!!

I'm sure they'll be other players in the squad who need support, just like Moly who everyone's talking about at the moment. But some folk won't even think about that before hurling personal abuse from the terraces or social media.
