Kerry Mayo

[Kaney]

As much as I like Kez I feel that he does not warrant a place in the starting 11, I feel Dan Harding has made a terrific start to the season and must have been lacking match fitness preventing him from taking up left back.

Also Adam Hinshelwood I felt offered very little for a right side midfielder going forwards, did not get to the byline, nor put in any crosses. I am not sure if this was intentional in MM's plans but feel we looked and played better after the introduction of albert.

i think hinsh is there to hold things and its working we have let in 1 goal in 3 games

Harding's made a terrific start to the season? What games have you been watching? He is going to be a good player but hes not been great so far this season. Sent off vs Plymouth, gifted Bristol Rovers two goals?

Stick with Mayo for the time being. Dont change a winning (and drawing) team.

Not forgetting the one against Reading. He will be a good player but on current form he doesnt warrant a place in the team.

mayo has been our best left back this season - stick with him

Harding has been rubish so far this season giving about 4-5 goals away!

Kerry may make the odd crap pass but he is solid when it comes to defending.

Harding has a lot to learn about playing left back but in time will be a good player.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that one or two of the goals that Harding apparently "gave away" were down to him having to make up for bad mistakes by Mayo and Cullip. Give the lad a break please.

If you offered any of our Championship rivals a choice between signing Mayo or Harding, I don't think that many of them would be rushing to buy our Kerry. Mayo is a fairly solid left back but I'm not sure that he is in the same league in terms of vision and skill as Harding. Just my humble opinion though.....

I don't think it's disputed that Harding has more skill and vision. He's certainly a good player and one who will feature this season and hopefully for many more.

He has been suceptable to mistakes though. Kerry has a lot of expirience and is less likely to make mistakes IMO. Although I think the left back spot is still very much up for grabs and if our form turns for the worse I wouldn't be suprised to see Dan get another go.

Harding is a better player than Mayo, although he (Dan) has made too many mistakes this season... Mayo lacks pace and his distribution is woeful... Harding tackles well, can pass, and has the pace required at Champ level... can't see Mayo holding his place for long...

Let's also not forget that Harding has been in the side for long, and hasn't played at this level before this season, whereas Mayo has.

Paul Devlin is among the better wingers in this division, and Mayo kept him very quiet yesterday.

Harding is still essentially a kid, and his time will come, but I do think that Mayo has done better than Harding so far this season.
