    Would you make a change and give the lad a rest?

    Why? Did he have a bad game? I've heard no mention of him.

    He's been doing ok in the games I've seen him so unless he's had a nightmare then I wouldn't drop him.

    Only heard good things on radio !
    Would rather listen people who went views on it but even so he's done no wrong in games I've seen him in to warrant a negative thread like this.

    Have a word with yourself. It's called squad rotation. Do we play the same two up front all season?

    All of the back 4 had a decent game today, coped with the extra pressure well.
    It was those in front of them that let them down.
    McDonald has been playing well, it would be mad to drop him.

    Was out of his depth last week. Not been today so cant comment but its clearly a problem area since Mawson left.

    Ok, nice to hear the view from Offspring considering he went. So we stick with McDonald, no problem from me.

    Most of the things you post are above my head tbh.
    Way way up in the clouds .
    Maybe all that drinking on my way to matches.

    Can only go from commentary but McDonald sounded solid, who's the say Jackson is any better? He certainly has less league experience.

    But you did say it was a problem since Mawson went but I think we're more solid tbh.

    He's done nothing wrong. Don't quite know what people expect. We've conceded only 5 in 5 games since he joined having conceded 8 in 4 when Mawson was here. So I can't agree saying he's out of his depth!

    I don't know either tbh.
    I'm as disappointed as anybody with the result and performance but context is needed by some imo.

    Im 100% in context, I know we've done incredibly well so far and today was a tough ask. I also know the step up he's made, but what I saw lst week tells me he's not even close to being ready to be a first team regular yet.

    From what I've seen and heard he's perfectly capable and certainly no worse than Alfie Mawson was in quite a few games for us. I do understand your view though especially after only seeing last week but remember if you had only seen certain games from Mawson you'd think he was awful too and that is frankly a hell of a lot more bad games than MacDonald has had
