I’m not going to answer for Ronnie, but I can say he looked a class apart, at Shrewsbury, on the opening day of the season. He was also the best player on the park against Burton.

In those games, he went past players as though they weren’t there and we should have scored more than we did.

 

Scannell showed nothing like the work rate or competitive nature of Payne - but then nobody did back then.

Judgement will be reserved, but Hopkin doesn't want to have to rely solely on a guy coming back early from injury imo.

 

I'm interested to see how he does PoED (Post Edin's Departure), could have a new lease of life like the rest of the squad.

 

Good player for this league but iv yet to see it . If Payne stays cant see him starting but great option off the bench .

 

He certainly underwhelmed before his injury but then so did the whole squad except for LOB.
But there was one second half in a home game, I can't remember which one, when he was casting aside defenders like confetti. I remember thinking, 'Ah, that's why people have rated him'. If he can get back to that sort of performance, even as a bench option, he'd be a real asset.

 

Thought he was the best of a very unfocused bunch and that include Payne

 

He would be even more like a new signing if could an 'i' on the end of his name.

Got a ring to it, Scannelli.

 

***WINNER***

 

His ability is way above this level. Just a pity he is made of glass

 

Based on the level of expectation when he signed, I was hoping for more “better than average” performances than we’ve seen. Maybe he’s a confidence player like most wingers seem to be, I don’t know.

From what I’ve seen he never grabbed the game by balls and ran at the opponents, unlike his mentor Jamie Lawerence.

 

I can see him relishing at City now, lets hope he doesn't pick up anymore injuries

 

His best games for us before his injury were Burton at home and Shrewsbury away. I thought he was clearly the best player on the pitch v Burton, which at the time wasn't too difficult I admit, but he did play well.

 

And this guy Steven Davies.

 

i think he will benefit from the fact that we have other dangers in the side. Gives him more space to do what hes good at. Being the only good player makes it easier for teams to deal with you. (I've given him enouh excuses. He now needs to deliver)

 

Scannel was one of the best out of a very bad bunch so I agree with your sentiment. He should flourish under the new regime. If you notice from a lot of his crosses, there were always on the deck to feet. Should work great the style we’re playing.

 

Scored thirteen goals in 37 appearances for Rochdale the season after he left us.
I think Parky under used him to be honest. Preferred Hanson and Proctor. Davies often came off the bench too late in games but showed glimpses of being a good player. Held the ball up well, good close control, good shot on the turn. I was disappointed when we released him.

 

Different players suit different teams and different managers

 

will be like a new signing

 

Good player only trouble made of glass, good for two or three games then out for the next 4 or 5 with injury. It's a shame because he is certainly a very talented player

 

Quite right ........... and why I don't want to criticise him too heavily. The whole team seemed at odds with each other at that (awfully long) time.
