I do wonder how much the signing of McGoldrick upset our recruitment plans. Yes, it’s a great story of a homecoming hero, but he will be on presumably the best salary in the club, is 36 and didn’t easily slot into our previous way of playing. Could we have used the money more wisely?

True, when we were flying earlier in the season, he was a joy to watch at times as he ghosted past players, but his influence has declined as the season has progressed. And he’s still got another year on his contract.
