Makienok - Oct 2020 at St Pauli (p3)

CharltonByBlood

Possibly the worst ever target man I have seen.

All those fans mid season saying get behind him blah blah.. I'm sorry he is pony.

How can you 6ft 7inch and not win many headers and just get constantly bullied around s football pitch.

Other than that one game against Rotherham (when they was horrendously of form to) .. I wouldn't even have known he played for us.

9/10 he looked like he didn't give a shit as well.

I didn't boo him but he looked like he didn't care one bit and can see why he was booed.

Don't want players like this any more. Good riddance.

We all know he's going to score a lot of goals, be Prestons POTY, and get them promoted to PL - it will just epitomise how useless his coaches have been here.

His fatal flaw is fragile confidence. There is a player in there but he is weak. Good luck to him. Seemed like a good guy.

Thank you. I knew someone would use the 'there is a player in there' line. There isn't.

Edit. Didn't like the booing and sarcastic cheering. That can't have helped.

Mark my words, he will do well there as long as they get crosses in the box. Give him service and not just lump it up there all time, he'll do well.

Expecting 10+ next season.

I'm not going there with the Makienok's a 10+ championship striker thing again, cost me money this year (to a good cause)

Apart from a handful of games when he was extremely effective, he mostly seemed off the pace.

You never know, Preston might be the place where his face fits and he finds the confidence to have a decent season.
In any case, he'll be playing in a division above us

That's the politest way that I have seen 'you're bloody s**t' articulated! He was/is truly woeful! Fair play to him for stealing another season at that level though.

Alwaysneil

He wasn't that shit.

Well ok a lot of the time he did look pony but I'm not sure it was all his fault.

Not a self starting game changing pick it up by the scruff of the neck and make it happen player though.

Decent player. Never had a chance with the fans booing and jeering him. Those that did should be ashamed of yourselves. Mob rule. You'd never do that to someone if you weren't anonymous and hidden in a crowd.

GretnaGreenAddick

I suspect he will have a decent season with them but just like Francis even if he proves himself at a club doing better then us, some fans will never accept that maybe he was not actually a terrible player just playing for a poor Charlton team in the wrong situation.

Wheresmeticket

Impossible to know how good he might be, or how much the car crash we are affected him. Properly Charltonised.

JorgeCosta

It will be tall shite on the Preston front.

Siv_in_Norfolk

Became a joke every time I saw Charlton in the second half of the season, after it had taken me that long to believe that there was very little there of Championship standard

Alwaysneil

For a big lad, he's never going to score many goals with his heid is he?

While the service to him wasn't great, plenty of other players scored headed goals for us last season.

Mak's movement was never great, he tended to be static, which makes him easier to mark.

dizzee

Hope he does well

Alwaysneil

Me too.

LuckyReds

I liked him, I'll still admit that it's a bit depressing to realise that he'll be playing a league above us next season though.

You been there ? .. Preston is an OK town and there is a lot of lovely countryside on the doorstep

London has The Garden of England on its doorstep.

RugbyAddick

Good luck to him.
He got booed onto the pitch and sarcastically cheered at every touch. There were worse players than him.

I think he will do well at PNE. Good luck.

Kap10

Another to put into the Simon Francis file, slagged off by Charlton fans ... Goes to another club and shows real potential because he is allowed to get on with his game. Don't agree he did not try but if he didn't who can blame him after the shit he took from his own supporters.

RanTooFar

There's is promise in him. I don't think the mentality is there though, so don't hold your breath PNE fans.

AddickRam

When I watched him closely it looked like his anticipation was poor his timing was what let him down not his actual heading ability.

Did appear off the pace but the tempo/intensity of the championship is fast and direct English centre-backs had it easy as he wasn't that mobile lacked sharp intelligent movement.

palarsehater

Poor bastards

Oh_Yoni_Boy

Good luck Big Mak - genuinely want him to do well up there.

Came to Charlton to pick up some confidence after his move to Palermo went south, but he barely made it out the other side!

Goonerhater

sadly we have seen a lot worse and not just under RDs cult

Doesn't help when we don't have midfielders who play the ball forward the way player like Reid or Murphy used to.

I don't think anyone really knew how to play to his strengths and ultimately everyone expected him to win everything in the air. You can only do that if the service to you enables you to.

I'm not trying to defend him and say he's a quality player or whatever, he wasn't great last season. But what didn't help was every time he touched the ball or won a header he got jeered.

All my statement was that I believe he will do a lot better next season and Preston will give him better service. He got 5 in a crap side, I am sure he can double that given the chance.

I liked Big Mac (and Mrs Mac ) and am delighted they are free of our basket case of a football club. Good luck to you in sunny Preston.

Good luck Big Si, it's when you remember why he came here that you feel even more sorry for him...

Though when you see that video of him with a blonde in the morning and brunette in the evening that you feel less sorry.

Anyone got a link to it?

LargeAddick

With a proper manager there he will probably do ok. I do think Francis is a good analogy, wrong club, wrong time. Not a great player but there was something there that I am sure Grayson will get the best out of.
