McKay deserves a chance Hound and from what I have seen he is more like Main in stature than Tyson is.

Hi All,
Went to the Proact yesterday, here's my summary.
Got a way to a flyer with two early goals, I believe the turning point of the game was Copps ankle injury, his experience was missed after he left the pitch, unfortunately due to some poor refereeing decisions, PD was forced to substitute Kyle Bennett before he was sent off.
It was plainly obvious to the 1800 Donny fans that Curtis Main as hard as he tried was not going to score a goal.Mystefied why Uche was subbed as he looked a threat every time he got the ball.Look forward to him playing alongside Nathan Tyson, got to be the way to go.
At times Donny stood off the Chesterfield players allowing them to build up attacks from both wings.
We could all see the equaliser coming.
That said,on another day Donny should have been home and dry before the late goal.
MOM for Chesterfield Tommy Lee (keeper)
Uche looks a great signing, great debut was unfortunate not to score.
Hope Copps ankle injury isn't too serious.

Yankee, Uche will provide power and good hold up ability (and hopefully - goals) and Tyson will provide the pace and know how to get on the end of stuff provided by Uches' prescence.
For me it will be our best combination.
McKay is now quite a way down the list.
His time will come though.

Cheltenham, thanks for the match report mate.
I also thought that things changed after Copps went off.
PD said in his after game interview that it could be a bad injury.
Copps adds so much to the team all over the pitch and although Bennett is a good attacking player he doesn't add much defensively, which Copps does of course.

Your summary is pretty mich the way that the Radio guy had it.

I too am looking forward to seeing Uche next week.

The way it's going, given Dickov's cautious nature, you ar probably right Hound, although I'm not sure that you know any more about McKay compared with the others than NY and I do.

I can see him making his name elsewhere now because if he's attracting the attention we are led to believe, he is unlikely to hang around here after the end of the season, assuming that he survives the transfer window.

Excellent report C/Rover. Chesterfield used the wings brilliantly and they are not just a skillful side but super-fit. Only in the last ten minutes did they falter - but they managed to squeeze a final effort in to snatch the equaliser. Just like the game at Barnsley when Turnbull got MoM Chesterfield's keeper made some amazing saves to keep them in it. Uche looks awesome!

I was making the point about McKay Hound as PD played both Ikpeazu AND Main together. I would have thought he would have gone with Ikpeazu and Tyson, but he didn't.

It didn't work because Main makes the late Arthur Adey look like Clarrie Jordan. ( One for us old un's there Hound).

You might remember Clarrie yankee but i never saw him play.
The thing that i noted after watching the BBC highlights is that Ikpeazu is built like a BIG heavyweight boxer and looked very skillfull as well.
I cant wait to see him next week.

One thing that no-one has mentioned though is that he was one on one with their keeper and the keeper made a very good low save.
Now if that had been Main.....................

Donaldo, i know very little about McKay apart from what i have read and from a couple of video clips that i have seen.
However when i compare him in stature to Ikpeazo, despite their being only about a year between them, i see a boy compared to a man.
I don't even know how many goals McKay has scored for the youth team this season because i can't find any stats to give me that information.

Someone said on here a short while ago that Willie McKay will be putting pressure on PD to ibclude him in the team.
IF Willie McKay had tried that (and i doubt it very much) then i can understand why PD will be excluding him.

PD has had many doubters on here but i sense that the tide of opinion is turning as i read comments that tell us how well PD has got the team playing and the like.
I also think that if McKay is as good as some people would have us believe then his chance will come an no-one is better placed than PD to make that decision.
On the other hand, if another club comes in to buy him as an unproven striker at first team level then we should be able to get a nice fee for him as he is under contract.
He could of course make the same mistake as James Husband.

From odd clips I have seen Hound he is bigger than Tyson, maybe not as big as Main and definitely not as big as Ikpeazu. I watched Arsenal today and a young kid similar to Ikpeazu came on, same size, good feet and strong, Agpon I think.

Guess what he also missed when one on one with Brad Gouzan, must be a trait these days.

By the way Uche's full name is, Karl Anthony Uchechukwu Mubiru Ikpeazu, imagine having to sign that as an autograph.

Believe me, Uche Ikpeauzu is going to become a fans favourite, he held the ball up well, Chesterfield couldn't handle him, he has quick feet and isn't afraid to take defenders on,No doubt about it he would benefit from the pace of Tyson alongside him.

Lots of players miss when one on one with keepers.
Always have and always will.
The funny thing is that the keepers often make good save but only get credit for it from their own fans.

Cheltenham - i am with you on this mate.

I see Mark Duffy has gone to Chesterfield on loan. I was sorry to see him leave us, but he didn't seem to get on with PD, so it would be unlikely that he would want to come back to us anyway. It looks as though Doyle will be departing, 3 days late for us I'd say.

ALF has gone to Bolton on loan

The Heff has gone from Hibs to Dundee. Free transfer.

That Uche reminds me of that other player we had. Whats his name, o yes JET, and we all know how bloody rubbish he turned out to be

Glad heffs has left that shower from the wrong side of Edinburgh! Hopefully he'll get a decent run now at Dundee
