We might as well have just bought Walters back Fuck me at least Walters could score the odd goal.

Rowett has asked the fans to judge him on his football. I think I've got my opinion on him already.

Just glad we didn’t spend all summer chasing his signature and at least he wasn’t our number one left winger priority. I see what you did there. And this is what's worrying me massively ... McClean was one of Rowett's signature signings this summer, he was THE player he really wanted and yet, he's utter rubbish. I so want to be positive but I also don't want to stick my head in the sand either.

He’s fucking wank. Always had been wank always will be wank. Never created anything in his time as a footballer and never scored any goals!! Absolute waste of money. The only thing he has brought to the table is a split between fans because the wanker won’t wear a poppy. But let’s talk footballl... the bloke is an appalling player who offers fucking nothing.

He was terrible today. The worrying thing is, there’s no one to replace him in that position if he’s pulled off!

Their goal came directly from another shit 10 yard pass from McClean that went straight to a Brentford player who subsequently broke at pace and 20 seconds later 1-1.

Makes you wonder what Rowett is doing when you see how Brentford played today
Energy, gusto the sort that only comes with youth yet we have signed McLean who is 29 on a 4 year contract
The Championship is patently one that demands so many things that McLean does not have yet our manager who is suppose to know this division had him as his priority target
Really really worrying

He’s an awful footballer. As football fans we tend to watch as many games as possible, im no scout don’t get me wrong but my god if there’s a match on tv I watch it and James McLean has always been awful. The lad works hard, but I expect that as a minimum. The lad is a awful footballer

He looks as if he tries very hard, primarily because his touch is so poor. Doesn't look s natural footballer at all. Compared to Matty Etherington it is like watching a reliant robin On todays evidence ..... A CLAPPED OUT Reliant Robin!

I have no idea what he brings to the team. He's slow, can't pass, can't beat a man and is a walking yellow card. It's pretty terrifying to think he was at the top of Rowett's list.
And if I hear one pundit calling him a players' player, I'm going to shove a poppy down their Jap's eye.

For me Maclean was dreadful. Yes he gave away a simple ball and as a result two Stoke players out of the game and they scored a good goal. How we paid £6million for him I do not know!

Abysmal always looking to bollock others when he offers nothing. I work with a lot of West Brom fans and they all pissed themselves how we can be so stupid again spending 6m on him after the Berahino fiasco.
I have always been honest I never wanted him at Stoke. Not getting involved in the debate again he is a hypocrite end of.
He offers only negatives for our club from both opposing fans and soon will be a good proportion of ours.
Will always support stoke Will never support McLean

Rowett is obsessed with names, we need a progressive manager who thinks out of the box.

I said last season the manager who they should have gone for was Lee Johnson, what you get with Rowlett is another Pulis who will only think one way, don't get me wrong if the right players are available ie Ricky, Walters, Delap then OK but they aren't, they may have we'll gone back for Pulis if he would have come back

There's no doubt he's a worker, you can't fault his work rate but man he's an absolutely terrible footballer. Every cross, every pass and every shot was taken like some pub player. The stats don't lie.

Only listened to the game but it seamed that most attacks or giving the ball away seemed to involve McLean. Could’ve been just how the radio was repotting it, but from previous times I’ve watched him I’ve never rated him. At least it was only £6m.....😞😞😞

I am not at all worried about James Mclean but I am seriously worried about the manager that signed him for our football club.

....showed any sort of desire and commitment to the cause. Should have done better when 2 on 1 but other than that I thought he put himself about and didn't flinch in any challenge. What's the point in running around, but actually doing nothing? His comittment is great, but his decision making and crosses so far is way below expected standard even for this league. Still early days, but this doesn't look like a clever signing so far.
