Both of them are better than Sturrock, Joyce, Razak and Corr which is the direction we want to be heading. I actually think given half a chance Tope could really come good.

It's a fair point but the problem is they're not permanent signings. |

I take your point but to be honest I dont think either of them are better than a fit Barry Corr |

Plays in midfield and his name is Tommy Miller,

Tope won't have the time to come good, unless he stays until the end of the season. He has the right credentials on paper, is a very rough diamond on the pitch but there is no point in trying to dribble round the whole opposition, run into trouble and lose the ball.
He does seem to cause problems and pull defenders out of position, but the ball rarely ends up with the free man because it's given away. I'd much prefer to see Macklin being played as I don't think Tope is any better and Macklin is one of our own.

i agree with what you say macklin should be playing instead of tope i dont think tope will come back IMO which will give macklin the chance to shine. hopefully that miss on the weekend wont mess with his head. |

Macklin's pace could scare alot of defences this season.

I think he just needs a goal. The chance at Yeovil was harder than it looked, with two defenders closing him down. It's hard to know, but it might just need him to grab a tap-in or something to get a bit of confidence in front of goal |

Macklin seems to not quite have the right attitude yet, i think having him in the squad and letting him develope further in the reserves and the League Trophy would stand him in better stead. Tope is not our player and so in the little time is here may aswel give him the game time to get the best out of him. Bolton regard him highly and none of our squad have featured for England at any level in recent years so i truly believe a few more games if we keep him and he could be handy for us this season.
