Was told he wasn’t in the manager’s plans but he made the decision to stay rather than go out on loan.Is Josh injured or does Rowett not rate him? He's not played since the FA cup and his last appearance in the squad was at Plymouth 2 months ago.
To be honest I'd completely forgotten about him.
Respect the hell out of that attitude to work.Was told he wasn’t in the manager’s plans but he made the decision to stay rather than go out on loan.
Yep. You do wonder if he’d have done better for Hulls goals than a clearly shattered Matos.I'd definitely have him as a last 20 mins composed midfielder to hopefully see out games .
George McEachran (of Wembmey celebrations fame) has been awarded Grimsbys player of the season award.
Wonder if he might get a chance in League One next year.
How many McEachrans are there? The whole family is trying to reverse the decline in western birthrates.
There looked to be many many mini Josh McEachran's on the pitch after the Sunderland game too!Josh with us, George with Grimsby, Zach with Oxford City.
There are two other siblings too. Will McEachran is a barber in Kidlington (and he’s mastered the footballer’s skinfade by the looks too - https://www.instagram.com/willmceachran_barber/) who had a spell with North Leigh a few seasons back. There’s also a sister Danielle.
Plenty of McEachrans to go around.
Still adamant that his performance in the Peterborough 5-0 game last season is one of the best individual performances I've ever seen from an Oxford player - he absolutely breezed it. Didn't look too out of place in the Championship early on this season either. If he had a body built for football then he'd have numerous England caps, probably the best technical player I've seen for us.
Staying local then. Is that a nod towards retirement as a player once his contract expires this summer?
Still plenty of clubs he could get to without moving in L2/NL. Doubt a L1 club would pick him up but could be wrong.
Burton Albion perhaps
It tells you we were getting an experienced holding midfielder who’s ability at playing a deeper, sitting role allows others to get forward and attack.A poor signing. No impact, not great fitness levels and one career goal in about 400 games tells you what sort of ageing midfielder we were getting.

He was exactly the type of player we needed in the squad of a league 1 team aiming for promotion.
Just like how Will Vaulks is exactly the type of player we needed this season in a Championship squad aiming for survival.
Dress it up however you like but 1 in 400 is borderline pathetic for a goalkeeper, never mind a midfielder ! One of the most over hyped, over rated footballers of his generation.
