oldskir 446 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Our strikers aren't scoring, and I can't see that Mansell brings anything to the team. Nyel Bell can't even get on the bench at Stockport, it's obvious he's surplus to requirements there. Mansell's one month loan is about to end, so I'd let him go back to Accy, and try to get Ball back in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 1,755 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Stockport recalled him for a reason. He won’t be coming back and Jake Hyde is back next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quizmaster 393 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 We could have Bell, Chadwick and Hyde in the team but if you defend like we did today we still wouldn't win. Wilde will be tearing his hair out. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldskir 446 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Stockport may have recalled Bell because our climb up the table might have started to threaten them. But after today's performance, and with Summerfield out, who in their right mind would see us as a threat to Stockport's promotion ambitions? Stockport must be a very wealthy club if they can afford to pay Bell's wage week in week out, and not ever include him in their squad. Gannon didn't rate him, now new manager Rusk doesn't seem interested in using Bell either. Get him back to the Shay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 1,755 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Taking Clarke out of the team was the reason we started scoring goals, not bringing Bell in according to some. Let’s not waste our time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldskir 446 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 He probably could. But more importantly, he knows how to put the ball in the net, and can make a shooting opportunity out of nothing. He's far superior to Mansell who is starting to look almost Omatayo bad. And he's better than Campbell. Bell did well for us before, and worked well with Hyde. Nyel hasn't even made the bench once at Stockport since his return. It's hardly rocket science, they clearly have no use for him, and his return to the Shay would give us a big boost. Get on the phone, Mr. Wild. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 1,755 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Stockport took him back because he was banging goals in at one of their rivals. He won’t be coming back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will revert back to 4_4_2. Nathan Clarke has been a fantastic footballer in his career. His best days are behind him sadly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To play a back 3.You have to have players who can distribute a football well & quick. Clarke cannot do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clarke cannot do that. He is capable of playing a ball into a midfielders feet, you are down right stupid if you think he can not do that, I agree he isn't capable of carrying the ball out like Byrne and Bradbury do. His skills as an organiser and leader in the middle of that defensive line is often underestimated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
