He was absolutely immense for us against Crewe last year. He's a huge threat from set pieces. I was sad to see him go.

I would agree based on what we've seen of McCready on defending alone. However while you've mentioned his attacking abilities, you've missed his influence in the dressing room, which I've heard was massive; his leadership on the pitch, which in the absence of Bents there is little of outfield; and also his intelligence - I know of two penalties where he knew which way the player was going to go and they were saved because Roachey credited him with telling him, and he also watch other players and fed that back, e.g. Aaron Taylor's goal at home to Chester where all the players ran to Dave Artell because it was he who had watched Chester and knew the keeper liked to stand near the back post on corners. For those reasons and because he was a damn good bloke I think he's a major loss.
EDIT: To echo Morecambe Jack's comments I also think he that bit of extra spirit and passion that helps turn games and lifts colleagues. Again we've missed that at times.

I doubt it.

So will I BUT I'm glad we've got McCreedy who (other than the goals) offers so much more.
Will be interesting to see how the fans react to Capaldi romorrow who is in line to take over from Willow.
He'll be getting a good reception for me and others I'm sure.

CC, seriously? You have to be either Irish or his agent. Why are you so fonf of Mr Capaldi???
There is no need for him to play tomorrow, I hope he doesn't.
