He could play lwb , thought he might've got a few minutes todayDiscussion in the pub post match, could EMC play a Rudoni type role at RWB when chasing a game ? Wouldn’t trust him starting a game there but struggling to see where else he would get minutes
Lads had bit parts playing mostly out of position...ffs
He made the L1 team of the season, so it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility that people thought this would happen.No he played on the right and the left for Peterborough, he hasn't been played out of position at all. He has struggled to make the step up yet, but it is early days.
Too many fans just thought he would walk into the team and rip the league up? It is a big step up and he was bought to add depth to the squad and as a player to develop. It is still early days for him.

It's a lot of money just for depth, a player that cost that much a club like us you want to see something.

He’s 25 so hardly a development player and he’s played over 300 games
He's not getting a sniff if Wright is available on the LW, and even if Wright is out or playing as a CF we're more likely to change the formation to wingbacks than play EMC.He does give us something different. He doesn't seem to be as quick as l thought, but he is very difficult to get the ball off with his strength and close control. I don't see him as a wing back - just don't think his defending is good enough. Shame we didn't buy Harrison Burrows to continue their partnership. If the system stays as is, I think behind the front 2 would be where he would be most suited. However, now potentially behind Rudoni, Torp and Sakamoto.
Exactly. He has only started 4 Championship matches. He has adapted from non-league to League 1; so he needs some time to take it up a level. He showed against Blackburn that he can cause teams problems.I'm assuming EMC has been taken out of the firing line to protect him but also to work hard on him in training. The guys got the stats and assets to be a great player for us but sometimes when a team is struggling, it's not the best time to try and build up confidence for a player making a step up.
Don't write him off yet. We've signed him for the long term not the first quarter of the season

There is a subtle difference between a development player and developing a player. Something I suspect was outside your skill set as a manager based on your posts on here?
How can you develop someone at 25 when your view is to increase his value for sale when you have already spent a considerable amount?
If someone worked for me and was given a significant oay rise I wouldn’t be asking him to do the photocopying.
As usual your arguments are sensational, but all over the place. Of course you can develop players at 25.
Look at players that have left us and teams felt they could develop them past 25 years old.
Madison (I know he was younger when he left us, but several transfers later teams felt he still had development).

As for photocopying, that is such a 1970's Punk Fanzine production model?
As you go up the leagues you pay more for players, just a fact of the market.Mason Clark is 25. His value isn’t increasing unless he plays and has an impact.
He’s a strange hill to die on and as for sensationalism the comparisons are are rather odd as we paid more for him than all of them put together.
What's he shown that makes you think different?Rubbish.
He was brilliant against Everton in preseason.What's he shown that makes you think different?
Probably the same place as Sakamoto or as a replacement for Haji. Despite primarily being a ST, there were times on Saturday where he operated in wider channels - something similar to his inside forward role in a 4-2-3-1.If we stick with yesterday's formation I'm not sure where he fits in.
Scraping the barrel a bit there.He was brilliant against Everton in preseason.
Did well in the set up of the goal for BTA the other week also. He has all the attributes to be a great player for us, he just needs time to settle and not worry that a player that scored 19 goals last season (Haji) is in his preferred place in the line up ahead of him.
He’ll get plenty of chances to contribute across the season, and I think if he’d scored a couple of the chances he unfortunately missed he wouldn’t be getting the negative press from some of our fans.
I was expecting a Kevin Gallagher type player when in fact looks more of a Leigh JenkinsonScraping the barrel a bit there.
The biggest thing for me is he doesn’t seem that quick. And when we’ve not been dominating possession or territory it leaves him in an awkward spot as a winger.

As I have said before...shop at poundland and generally thats what you get..its a punt and a fairly expensive one considering our budget
People aren't concerned about having a £4m player on the bench, they're concerned that we paid £4m for a player who doesn't look like he's worth anywhere near that much.Our fans: We need to stop scrimping and invest in the squad, we need more depth – the squad is too small
Also our fans: Why have we got a player worth £4m on the bench? What a waste of funds
