    He played all over the midfield and even a short spell up from for Carlisle last season getting 11 goals and 8 assists which is what got his move to Blackpool, a few times he played in a 442 but majority of the time it was formations which involved a 3 in the middle of midfield which i won't be surprised if we go back to soon.

    Could be possible but Pritchard is a completely different type of player to Law who has looked a far better player for us down the middle.

    Not from me he's not, doing very well IMO yes not great flowing football but if it gets us out of 4th division I'll not complain.

    Could be Proctor, Miller and Gilliead in the Scunthorpe team tomorrow. Playing against three ex-City players in one game would be highly unusual. I hope the curse of the ex leaves us alone tomorrow. Have we got any that have played for The Iron?

    Probably will be something like this, Novak is banned from a red card last weekend. Not sure if Jamie Ward has been playing for them recently, but he looked handy in the reverse fixture. You'd hope Miller gets bullied out of the game and Proctor is going to be inefective.

    Add Lund to that as well, however McCardle wasn't in the squad last game v Newport, so unsure if he's unfit or not favoured?

    McArdle missed last week through illness or injury, possibly back tomorrow

    Miller hasnt played for them for a few months, presumably they quickly sussed out how shocking he is

    I feel like we've played teams loaded with ex players before, but can't put my finger on who?

    Certainly we're currently one for ex-Blackpool players, and under Parky it was ex-Rochdale.

    It makes sense for managers bringing in players they know and trust from previous clubs as long as that doesn’t stop them also spreading their net wide.

    we also seem to have had a large amount of numbers in recent years that have been through the system at middlesbrough.

    Miller has to be one of the strangest signing i've ever seen, goodness knows what stats Barnsley used when parting with their hard earned cash. Only good thing i could say about him is he tries.

    I thought something similar when Swansea bought Oli for £250k! ;)

    Oil was raved about by the Scottish coaches at under 19 level
    At 250k it wasn't a massive risk.

    McBurnie never looked like an infant trying to control a balloon, Parky's tactics made sure McBurnie never had a chance to control a ball with his feet.

    No, but the Scottish coaches loved him and the coaches at nationa level have links with most PL & Championship clubs and no doubt talk about player status coming through.

    250k turns out to be a mega steal.
