Maxwell

[scawsby steve]

Has been poor all season, but that today was abysmal. The winger took the p*ss out of him all the game, and his attempt to stop the assist was just embarrassing.

Then there are some on here who think he should be in the team ahead of Senior.

Give your f*cking heads a wobble.

Interesting that Grant mentioned “people that don’t train well” in the radio Sheffield interview. Presumed he meant Maxwell.

He wasn’t abysmal but could isn’t done better to stop the cross, in the same way the midfield should have done better to track the run (Broadbent possibly).

[ChrisBx]

Sterry is our only full back who is good enough to be starting games in League One.

[albie]

Not really a full back for me, because he is weak on the defensive basics.

Much more of a left side wing back, better with the ball going forwards than locking out the opponents from getting in crosses.

Rovers need to just have a think about how best to use him.

I disagree, he can defend. His issue is he lacks athleticism. He’s not played much either of late, possibly running on fumes at that point in the game.

Totally agree, Senior is by far our best left back. He is more tenacious, stronger, quicker, & shows more determination.

He was skinned easily multiple times in the first half an hour, so running on fumes isnt an excuse.

He's not good enough, simple as.

[StocksArmy]

I batter our full backs and wide players for not stopping crosses every week and Maxwell is by far the worst in our team. If anybody noticed when he went off, Middleton just dealt with Nuefville twice in the space of a few minutes very similarly in the way Maxwell got his arse handed to him for the goal. Just got his body in which is beyond Maxwell because hes weak as piss. And hes not even a full back. Get rid!!

He was dribbled past twice in the game according to the stats.

You're missing the point, Fal. The Maxwell v Senior debate has been going on all season.

Jack was missing today through illness, which was a shame because he's been excellent in recent weeks. Maxwell had a chance today to impress GM, and he didn't take it.

Sorry Gaz, I disagree - running on fumes was nothing to do with it. Maxwell was looking slow only a few minutes into the game. On top of that, he's lightweight in the challenge. He used to be a favourite of mine as he bombed forward and demonstrated a footballing brain, but those injuries he had when he was out for a while look to have taken their toll. He's definitely slower, forwards and backwards, up and down the field. The goal should have been snuffed out before the cross but Maxwell was lightweight and slow chasing back, as he had been many times in the game. With Maxwell behind him, I think this contributed to Haks having a less-effective game.

Senior is playing far better and would have been picked today had he not been ill overnight.

[ncRover]

Neufville is rapid. Remember he looked dangerous playing for Sutton a few years ago against us.

[Padge_DRFC]

Looks like he can't run at the minute

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I agree he's a very good player. However I do think Maxwell is a weak link in the side. He's not effecting the game offensively and he is beaten too easily one v one at this level.

[Danmckay456]

Aren’t both left backs out of contract at the end of the season

[jmt23]

To be fair and balance this, the Bradford winger was by far their best player.

Maxwell gave him too much room though.

[5minstogo]

After blowing his trumpet on another thread I'm big enough to say he wasn't at his best today. You fo need to take into account his opponents Jackson who had just dropped down from the Championship and Neufville who has always caused us problems. Would Senior have done better? We'll never know.

Players always play well when they are missing! They targeted Maxwell knowing he’s not fully fit having not played for weeks.

Mccann bangs the drum for players to stay ready so thats innacurate. Maxwell wasnt off the pace today, he was just crap

He also prevented one cross all game.

I've said this myself weeks ago and got shouted down!

[roversdude]

We missed Senior

[GazLaz]

Senior got done badly by Saydee in the Wigan game and was largely dreadful defensively. Players make mistakes/ have games where they are not brilliant. There were lots of individual errors today but is how your mates back you up when you make one that matters. It’s when a team makes two or 3 mistakes in a row they concede goals.

Clark made a really bad error and we were fortunate they didn’t score from it, if that was TLT he would have had a thread on here about it. Not even been mentioned I don’t think. Mistakes happen at this level A LOT.

[Ian Nimmo]

Whilst Maxwell was beaten a few times by the guy, he certainly won the ball on many occasions, and think it’s a little unfair to be blaming him for the goal.
Yes would hope he prevents the cross, but the real issue was that their player was left in acres of space in the box.

Yet started. If hes not then hes shown bad management as he has Nicxon there who could have and more probably would have done a better job. Square pegs in round holes and all that but its better than having a player with a poor attitude in the starting 11

He didn’t say Maxwell, and he may have been thinking of someone else when he said it, but felt like it was aimed at Maxwell.

Id not listened to the RS interview but just have now. Think its aimed at the collective. Ulitimately this is his squad regardless of whos doing what. Its on him
