I admit to being one of Michaels biggest critics on here...
I will however no longer post negative comments about him as from what I read on the main site he may well have come back fitter and keener that last season.
Michael has obviously got the ability to bang in the goals if his mental & physical state is good, so the slate is wiped clean as far as I am concerned Twissy. Show us all what you are about...
For my money, he was a disgrace last season and a major reason why the BSP place we fought so hard for was surrendered, as such he needs to do much more than turn up to be given any credit, I'll need to see some results from him that start to rectify this before he egts any credit at all. As for now it wouldn't surprise me to see him get injured agian in pre season.
As for turning up at pre season and showing a good attitude, well that's magic, thanks for that - are we to be thankful for players turning up and earning their (in some case like this good money) by doing what they should? Bare mimimum for me that, as Tolson alludes to.
Yes it would be helpful and it is good to read I suppose but I he won't reproduce his old Morecambe form, he's far to past the wrong side of 30 for that. Our best hope is that the lower level helps him to adjust his style of play in his advancing years to become more effective, which in itself can be a challenge and I hope that his attitude is good enough to do so.
