He was that awful he played more games than any other defender in a team that didn't concede an undue number of goals and kept a very respectable amount of clean sheets. Stoke fans: We should have conceded less and kept more clean sheets Voice of reason: No you should have scored more goals. Fair argument. Just on the eye he was shit. We played a lot of the time to try nick goals. It's not how you get out of this league. I know you like him, a lot, from previous arguments about him but he's just not for me. The CBs of promoted teams generally stay in the team in the prem, indicating the quality they are. There is no world what so ever McNally lasts a fucking minute in the prem. I wouldn't say I like him a lot. I called him dozey on numerous occasions last season but he's got decent attributes and will improve mentally concentration wise as he matures. It's the type of signing that suits my point of view far more than the Gibson one. No doubt He (Gibson) will get the Jagielka treatment and everyone turn a blind eye to his mistakes and focus on those of players with a future.

Better than Wilmot so would happily see him back. He turned his back on several occasions instead of taking one for the team . I can’t remember the matches but I did post on here at the time . Denis Smith would have thrown himself at the attacker as he prepared to shoot . McNally didn’t and the scored . It happened a lot with him . So yes I agree he’s a bit of a mardarse / coward Saw every game and never saw that.

What's our head of recruitment up to? M6/M1 no further

In the pool that we are fishing he's probably a decent catch.
Thinks he's also got development potential.
Knows the Club🤣

It’s all gonna come down to price really. As much as i like him, i wouldnt go over £2.5m.

FFS now that we only had Rose I at least finally knew which one was which. Now I'm going to have to go back to guessing which one it was that just shinned the ball to the opposition on the edge of the box

I had a good chat to him in Manchester in between the last 2 games (really nice guy) and I got the impression that he wanted to sign permanently but no talks had happened at that point

IMO he showed why loaning a CB isn’t a good idea. Had good games but if it meant risking himself he wasn’t interested.

He’d be fine alongside Gibson Agree. Rose, Wilmott and McNally were all too similar, none of them were leaders and all of them would benefit from someone like Gibson orchestrating the backline and from what I saw McNally is the one with the most potential. Centre backs rarely shine in isolation - it's pairings that count.

Was he liable to drop the occasional clanger? Yes. Was he part of a defence that was generally fairly tight and did not concede too many. Yes again. Would I have him back at the right price. 3 yeses.

So yes I agree he’s a bit of a mardarse / coward Saw every game and never saw that. Have to agree with Ceejays. He was not as committed as you would expect in closing down the man. I also thought he was incredibly negative with the ball at his feet. I did like his off-field interactions with Burger and felt he represented the club well. Personally, I think we can find better and, I assume, for less money...or just stick with the young promising centre halves that we have at the club already.

Now I'm going to have to go back to guessing which one it was that just shinned the ball to the opposition on the edge of the box I nailed it by referring to them collectively as the Chucklebrothers, or individually as “one of the Chucklebrothers”. EG: The Chucklebrothers were reasonably solid today. Or We were doing ok until one of the Chucklebrothers randomly sprinted up the pitch like a businessman running for a bus and the other Chucklebrother panicked and bumped into Ben Wilmot.

Centre backs rarely shine in isolation - it's pairings that count. As a collective they nearly relegated us. An injury to Gibson and the pairing will be made up of the others who werent good enough last year. If we go down after keeping all 3 of Mcnally, Rose and Wilmot then we deserve it.

He is better than Wilmot, and this season he doesn't have to compensate for Hoever either!

Preferably I'd go into the season with either another experienced CB or an experienced CB to replace Wimott or Rose given I thought McNally was marginally the better of the three and with more potential.

They didn’t nearly relegate us did they? We conceded a below average number of goals didn’t we? I’m fairly certain that what nearly relegated us was our total inability to put the ball in the net at the other end. OG was nearly top scorer for us last season.

We had the 10th best defence in goals conceded and 8th in Xg. If our attack had converted the chances we created we would have been top 10. Our issues were and still are in midfield and attack

Maybe put some thought into that. As a collective they conceded less goals than Norwich. Maybe the blame lay elsewhere.
