Has anyone actually threatened to impress you, this season ?

And therein lies the problem. Breunker without doubt lacking technical skills and abilities shamed those arguably more able players. Had they shown similar effort, maybe things would have been different.

 

In answer to the question there are few who have shown promise. Jim O'brien while he was here I wish we could have held onto him, David ball has given everything when he has played, Lewis O'brien has been good for the most part, Kelvin Mellor has shown that he is more than capable when fit, Caddis has been a good signing and I genuinely hope we can get him in the side next season, Payne and Butterfield have shown glimpses of the ability they have but are both too lightweight to play in the same team in the lower leagues and finally Scannell is a fantastic player but his injury issues are holding him back. Everyone else I'm afraid are distinctly average or out right poor.

 

Or if/when it turns out he’s crap, I remember McGowan being a world-beater when injured.

 

So, on average, about two players get some credit i’m hoping BowyerS wasn’t expecting much feet up time this summer.

How many of the rest can we actually get rid of though? Absolutely damning to have so few players worthy of much of a mention.

 

FGS Dennis, nobody is raising the issue of what offence has or hasn’t been committed. But it is a valid point that he isn’t being allowed to play whilst an investigation is ongoing and hasn’t been concluded some 9mths later. It is unfair and Park & BradfordBanter make valid points.

By all means clamp down on any talk of his offence (alleged offence), but to not let us talk about the impact and reasons we have lost him for a whole season, is talking censorship too far.

 

O’Donnell started off looking a decent keeper for this level. But even his performances over the last 6-8wks have been shaky.

Caddis was probably the pick of the defenders, but his game has gone off the boil in the last month too. A fair few goals have come from crosses from our right and Caddis is as guilty as any for that.

Paudie has at least provided some signs of being a decent defender. Not as easy to bully off the ball than the jokers alongside him, but still easily beaten in the air.

LO’B has been the most consistent player at the club and had we have had a PoTS, he would have earned it. Needs to work on his shooting over the summer though. He’s probably had more chances in the last 8wks than Doyle and not taken any of them.

JO’B was another in the mould of Andrew Davies. Fully committed player that would give his all, but as a result picks up more than his share of injuries. Had he stayed and kept fit, our season may have been so much better

Everyone else has flattered to deceive. There have been good performances from the likes of Payne, Ball, Scannell etc, but few and far between.

 

I've been impressed at how consistently shit we've been all season tbf

 

Luca Colville has shown glimmers of being a decent attacking midfielder, but seems to have the same condition as some of the others.....glassitis.

 

I believe he came on sub in the first three games against Shrewsbury, Barnsley and then at Macclesfield where he was arrested when he came off the pitch.

 

Ah yes, I remember him getting held by police at Macclesfield now
