Who is the better Centre Back

McGrath for me

Why raise a poll like this?

Both have history with the club, both signed up. Young lads that will inevitably see things like this.

OP needs to get a grip AND anyone who places a vote.

Shame on you.

Christ if it offends I’ll take down

[Danmckay456]

Only a debate nothing sinister , people get offended or take things far too personally on here

[Danmckay456]

Taken down if it’s offended anyone I apologise, anyone who wants best for Donny would love more local lads to do well for us that’s for sure

There was a poll with McGrath and Faulkner on, he removed it.

Bit harsh on 456
What’s kind of rattling around in my thoughts is which of the following 3 CB’s will end up playing at the highest level? We have 3 very different stories?
Would it be
McGrath, who seemingly performed really well straight from the ‘off’ and in very little time contributed to a title win at League 2 Level.
Faulkner, who impressed initially, raw, young, old fashioned on nonsense with a goal in him, however was released to a lower level where, as stated by Selby had very good stats.
Or
Olowu, quite frankly a disaster for a period, then injured, then in the click of a finger performs very very well and also contributed to a League 2 title.
So who will play at the highest level for the longest period of time.
I know we have some experts that told us Alfie May was obviously going to be brilliant (Personally I didn’t see it, so that’s what I know)….

McCann’s stated in the past that McGrath has natural attributes that are rare in a centre half - he’s left footed, built like an outhouse yet really athletic and mobile. This stuff you can’t teach and, due to the fact he could be really valuable if he develops, he’s been allowed to do that developing in our first team. We didn’t keep many clean sheets or look like keeping clean sheets until Bailey and Anderson were paired, in my opinion. And the second McGrath came off the bench to shore up the defence against Bradford he made a mistake and we conceded. I think he’s been afforded more leniency because he’s a rare specimen. Potentially, the sky’s the limit but right  now I wouldn’t trust any of our 3 young lads, despite them all being excellent prospects, with a place in the first 11.

Was it Arsene Wenger who said you pay for the development of young players with points? Jay might have cost us a few points/goals last season. However if the development means he gains us more points next season, we won't be complaining.
