Move on. Your like the wife who gets their divorce yet brings the ex-husband up in every conversation of how much better there life now is

 

I just like to point out how I was right all along.
my time for gloating hasn't passed yet.

 

As Hopkin states, he will be almost like a new signing. Hopefully, a few weeks with McElhone and he will be fitter than ever, and tuned into the work ethos McElhone and Hopkin are creating. There is no doubt he has the talent, and should be a star at this level

 

No he won't be a new signing.. this is another thing that we need to stop with.. He will be a player returning from injury not match fit. I hope the club don't try and pass this off as a "new signing" and not sign another winger type player! As that just does not wash for me

 

He was better than most at the start of the season our only threat in most of the games

 

It does mean something, Jon. It means they have the ability to make an impact, albeit they are inconsistent.

Given City fans are often known to big up players our of the team (Sattelmaier, Gibson, Brunker to name three recent examples) I'm surprised by the amount of flak Scannell is coming in for. The whole team was gash in the opening months, so he deserves a clean slate when fit IMO.

 

With Scannell's injury record we would be mad to rely on him for our creativity despite all his ability.
We definitely need additional quality out wide this window.

 

For me done nothing before injury and don't expect much when he returns but happy to be proved wrong and have egg on my face.

 

If we can get him back fit and playing regularly he would be a big asset and could help fill the void if Payne departs.

 

I felt that a lot of the time our forwards weren't really playing on the same wavelength as Scannel. He seemed to have no problem getting to the line, and then drilling in low crosses which, bearing in mind our forwards hadn't won a header all season, in my opinion was the right thing to do. Unfortunately neither Doyle nor Miller at that time made the near post runs to get on the end.

 

I saw a player who was decent on the ball, but don't remember any brilliant shots, crosses, skills, or beating of defenders...

Can you recall what brilliance you saw? This is out of interest, I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wondered if you could jog my memory.

Did he have any goals or get any assists?

Genuinely cannot remember him having any sort of impact, but I'm still expecting far more when he comes back firing for a team with much, much more motivation, belief and tactical nous.

 

With the attacking players turning up week in, week out, the onus and pressure shouldn’t be on Scannell to deliver. He can now play with a bit more freedom and relax a bit more.

 

I think (and believe this to be happening) that all the players are being given fresh chance to prove themselves.. This starts in training

 

Burton I believe he got MOM. Played well against Shrewbury on debut as well, but other than that little. Still think he's shown enough ability all about getting him fit and playing consistently imo.

 

A few weeks training with McElhone might kill the poor bugger

 

I saw flashes of brilliance and nous ........... Just nowhere near enough for our level, and where we want and need to be. I hope the recent coaching setup can work on his strengths, and limit his weaknesses (injuries).

 

The only time I saw a 6/10 performance was the Sunderland game, up until he was sent off.
I’m yet to see the player Jamie Lawrence described, when he signed.

 

I agree Inspector but even most of the shower at that time were a 3-4- 5 or 6 at most.
