McGovern happy to be the middleman
           


  TOWN midfielder Jon-Paul McGovern is hoping he will be central to manager Danny Wilson’s plans this season, as he aims to cement a role in the heart of the team.

If he starts in the first XI, then he will need a good August.

Everyone will be watching, the pressure is on (finally)

Only 3 weeks to go Spence.

Getting close isn't it.

Yes, and like my boss, we are looking a bit thin up front.

Paynter and McGovern up front will be interesting. Best mates, arent they?

Just to clarify, When I said 'finally' I meant that JPM will at last have some pressure on him to perform. He was rubbish under Malpas, but Malpas picked him every week without fail, dont think he ever dropped him.

He's in the final year of his contract. Probably a wake up call that no one enquired about him in the summer, even though in the Adver before the Carlisle away game he said he would probably be moving on.

So yeah, he's going to have to really get going this season. If he doesnt start in the XI regularly then he will struggle to pick up a L1 contract next season IMO. Looking forward to it.

Malpas dropped him.

He'll be good this season and prove all his doubters wrong.

I just had a look. McGovern started every game from Leyton Orient away March 11th 2007 until he was dropped for Franchise away (30th August) and Hereford away. Reinstated for Leeds and started every game until Byrne came in, who dropped him straight away.

He might be a metaphor for the underachievement at the club since Sturrock left. But he isnt an important player. Wilson would have let him go if anyone had come in for him.

If Wilson gets in anyone half decent up front then he wont be starting much this season.

I thought JPM played really well under Wilson when he came back from injury.

It was his introduction down the right that won us the game against Bristol Rovers.

He had a bad season and injuries last season just like Easton did. Both more than good enough for us.

 If JPM is starting at all, then we've got problems. If he's starting in the hole behind Paynter then they're serious problems.

Its his head I dont trust, not his feet.

Thought he did OK late on in the season.

On last years form, neither Easton nor McGovern are good enough, and Wilson knows it. But as you say, injuries played a part.

I'd agree with that, but I trust Easton's head more than JPM's. Looking forward to him proving me wrong, because when he applies himself, he's good

You're quite right Reg,it almost seems to be deja vu with the very thought of JPM playing in the
middle.He's not mentally tough enough and just like Amankwaah,goes missing in games far to readily.
He most certainly cannot play the Alan Mac,freescoring midfield role.

IMHO we still need 2 strikers, a goal scoring midfielder and a left back.
