    Didn't he score goals from some spectacular free kicks for Accrington, so if McMahon let him have a go we may see a more confident Shay?

    To be fair @Mickey bantam@Mickey bantam I haven't heard any single player get berated even given the last 4 months, but Shay did say it was a big step up from Accrington.

    He scored more goals because in league 2 the goals are larger and wider + goalies are not allowed to be taller than 4ft 11". :p:p:D

    But that’s the point I keep making. This isn’t my view of him. It is the view of an Accie fan who still laughs at me because we spunked £200k on a player that he, and those he goes with, doesn’t rate.

    Or the clamour for Saatelmaier and/or Raeder. That ended well
    ;)

    Next Park will be telling us they didn’t get extended runs either

    You do write absolute shite Park. You claim you know a scout that works in the Lancashire area, BUT then state you believe he is a different type of player to Clarke.

    At Accie, he played in that exact same role...!

    Excellent shout Dave. Salah shows that we can never be certain when doubting players

    Last season about transfer deadline day I was I. Hospital down south in the next bed was a Pompey fan we had just signed Marc McNulty this lad had seen him at Portsmouth and said you have a good one there. Before joint Sheffield he had scored loads in Scotland and since he left us has scored 24 for Coventry he just needed games to get match fitness and his eye in important for a striker. The same thing applies for McCarten give him a run of games

    Every game? You saw that much of him? According to my work colleague, he was played on the left, on the right, as a secondary striker, but most games he played ‘in the hole’.

    And that Ricky, was the point being made. Wasn’t that where we played Clarke too?

    It’s irrelevant anyway, as I can’t see him staying after the end of the season. He played ok in patches tonight, but still looked like he was blowing out of his arse after 70mins or so.

    And rewinding back to January, I recall an interview where he was ‘disappointed with how the window had gone’. It then became apparent there had been interest but we weren’t prepared to let him go. I’d suggest his ‘disappointment’ indicates he would have been open to any move.

    I saw a few games which he played behind a front two where we seem to play him as a 2nd striker or like you say in the hole. Is role at accy was different imo he had a free role behind the those front 2 popping up here left right and and anywhere. I agree he hasn't done himself justice at city but I also don't think he has played in a similar role as he did as accy but that's just my view.

    You could be right and if the club can recoup the £200k outlay I think he will but also they may feel he needs that 2nd season to make or break him. Remember luke Oliver first season garbage 2nd season a totally different player it can happen. My view he has something about him to do a job for us but he needs to step up to the plate and prove it.

    Going off what Hurst himself said when he went to shrewsbury that the budget was very good for league one and they would surprise quite a few which they certainly have.
