Danny Mayor.
- Thread starter IJN
- Start date
However , if he had been our penalty taker for the whole season and had a good success rate maybe we would not be having this conversation. IMO he just needs something to boost his confidence to a level where he will appease the PASOTI faithfull.
I assume you are having a dig at me ,again.Devongreenowl":1wa7h8zr said:
If Mayor and Co keep doing the same thing without an end result what is the point? If might look good but if you are the opposition you know what to expect.
Why not hit a first time ball into the area or dare I say, try a shot. Half a dozen short passes between three players to achieve very little is IMO predictable and laborious. Most of the sides I have seen at Home Park are more direct.
True but how many of our points have we won from their interplay as against Cooper's assists? I think Mayor is a good player but in the games I have seen him play I really can't see that he is as good as some people make out. I wonder if some fans are just caught up in the hype that heralded his signing.
His fancy footwork is a joy to behold but there is little end result.

I cannot understand how we are 4th playing like we are.
Certainly in the past few games we have been far from convincing and have ridden our luck.
I hope I am wrong as I really want us to be promoted but we do not look like promotion candidates.
Anybody who can’t see what Danny Mayor brings to the Argyle side, really needs to seriously consider watching another sport. Could he do even more? Yes, of course he could. I wish he’d have more shots, be more assertive and take over at some free kick situations. Without him, Argyle would lose most of their creativity in the final third other than the very effective Byron Moore, who funnily enough some people don’t rate either. Bizarre!

Who are you to dictate whether or not somebody should stop watching football based on your opinion?
Moore is my player of the season so far .Mayor admittedly creates a lot in the final third but to little avail.You are saying he could be more assertive,have more shots and take over free kicks so he isn't do that good is he!
Mayor is a good player no doubt but we looked far more dangerous once Cooper came on yesterday because of how direct he is. Imo mayor needs to shoot more often rather than play the extra pass, its almost like he's scared of shooting in case he misses which is disappointing. Like others have said he's great to watch with all his neat footwork and fast passing style but we need more end product from him and if we did get that we should be in the top 3 come the end of the season.
It’s a tongue in cheek comment Oldage. For someone who regularly posts quite acerbic comments, you seem to take offence very easily. I imagine Mayor is playing to instructions and for some reason Sarce and Cooper take most of the free kicks. Neither has been very productive in that regard in my opinion. Maybe Mayor is too nice, I don’t know. I certainly think he would be more successful with free kicks than either of those two. I hasten to add, I really rate Sarcevic who has to be up there with one or two others for player of the year, although he had an off day yesterday. I don’t rate Cooper as highly as some do, because he is wasteful when we are in good positions. That said, I am aware of his assist status, but think it flatters him a little.
