One of the things I don't get about several posters here is this: everyone agrees football is a squad game nowadays - but when PH makes changes he's 'accused' of tinkering. There seems to be a shortfall in logic here...

Don't wish to bring negativity because we do have a strong team spirit but I don't think Jack Mackreth is very happy.

At Barrow I saw him near the bar and he was speaking on his mobile to somebody and he was visibly not very happy, he was saying down the phone or words to this effect "I'm not in the flipping team again blah blah blah " he was effing and jeffing and he wasn't happy.

Then on Saturday I went straight home after the game but a friend saw him after the game and he was moaning and groaning then about how despite scoring and getting praised by Hurst in the last game he still isn't even on the bench!

Now I know he said in the telegraph he's happy and doesn't want to go out on loan but he's hardly going to come out and say "I'm not happy, I want to leave " is he ? He would have told Hurst internally I guess.

I will be very suprised if he's here next season and I hope he isn't, not good enough as far as I'm concerned.

in regards to Jack he's a half decent player but the players playing in front of him are better. If he's unhappy let him go on loan for a month somewhere to get first team football.
I'd be upset if I wasn't picked and he was obviously trying to have a private conversation with someone (maybe partner?) on his phone which for me let's be honest we all do if something doesn't go our way!

I like to see players upset when they're left out the squad.  It shows hunger.

Jack has had plenty of opportunities since he has been here and PH has given him a fair crack. Unfortunately he has only really produced to his potential intermittently and those in the team are currently performing better. If he does not want to go on loan he will have to work harder and up his game. He can be a useful player to come off the bench as shown against Welling. From what he said I think PH, like the fans, is a bit frustrated that Jack gets into his stride but then stops and checks back to play a simple sideways pass. We all want to see him keep going, hit the byeline and play in a low hard cross. He just does not do it often enough. Having said all that, I don't see Jack as a disruptive element and seems to be fine with other players. When he got his late goal against Welling they all rushed to congratulate him.

I'm not a massive fan of Mackreth, but after his Welling cameo I was surprised to see him not make the 16 at Eastleigh. I don't really see the need to have both East and Robertson on the bench.

But then again I'm some twat on a messageboard, not someone who's worked in football for decades!

He's not as good as Arnold, so there's not a lot else to say. We've acquired better players since he signed and he is a back up squad player now. That's football Jack.

He can't say that he hasn't had enough chances to impress either.

I would agree, especially as East can cover both left and right back. Having another attacking option would be the way to go for me. Pearson and East on the bench gives plenty of defensive options. With Shaun there you also have a sub goalie
