You've missed the point of the post. If you read the thread properly, I was replying to a comment that tried to equate Mackie's past record with that of Kallum Higginbotham. They are not comparable.So what ?
It’s like someone said the other day that Mackie must be good enough for L1 because he’s played in the PL and championship. Absolute nonsense. Prove yourself in L1 and then we’ll decide if you're good enough. My own view is that Mackie remains unproven in L1. A 1 in 11 strike rate and a none too prolific number of assists, I think, backs that opinion up.
Yeah he works hard, runs around a lot, gets in opposition faces, but is that enough to be regarded as a proven L1 striker ?
Whether Mackie is actually suitable or effective enough to be a main starting striker for a L1 club aiming for promotion is another matter entirely. Personally I agree with you - my heart sank when I heard he was starting on Saturday when we had better on the bench.
