Can't disagree with any of that either. For what its worth, I think Halliday has been a bit disappointing and no improvement on Hendrie, but accept he might improve. I don't think Sutton is a starter this year and seems to have lost something. But the one thing he still does is give and go and make those runs into the box. None of our other CMs are prepared to do that and I think its an attribute MH likes. I think he'll be a regular off the bench

 

I take it you didn’t see his “goal line clearance” on Tuesday?

 

His job now is to play alongside Smallwood and link up play he carries the ball better than East and he is a decent tackler we have any number of attacking midfielders who can create

 

Hughes has indicated that almost certainly our business is finished in and out. I think Hughes has been given backing any of our managers in recent years could only dream off. So the onus is on him now automatics should be the aim anything less than the top seven and it would go down as abject failure

 

Yep, he's fought off a player who couldn't make the first XI for his last league two club and indeed has never been considering part of a first XI and another who the majority want rid of as he's struggling to even make the bench.

Some achievement that.

 

The squad appears quite strong and most add some quality in certain areas..just a case of finding the best fit.Great for competition though and looks promising.

 

Matty Longstaff in L2 again, this time on loan at Colchester. He was supposed to join Barnsley today on a perm deal but it's all fallen through. Another talented lad at this level.

 

Not true Park. East did as good a job at Crewe.

Look, I get it, you like Gilliead. I'm a bit "meh" to be honest, but we could have had Jordan Henderson or Jorghino playing for us against Donny and Crewe and it wouldn't have made much difference. What was missing was at the top end of the pitch and not in the middle. Am I making my point clearer now?

 

Let's be happy he didn't go to Salford or another potential rival at least based on his performances at Mansfield!

 

Your opinion is clear and my opinion clearly wrong

 

Is that him that Mansfield didn’t want again?

 

No need to be so facetious.

If you don't want to debate or don't have any data / facts to support your opinion then maybe don't say anything in the first place?

 

I love it when you disagree with me. It Invariably means my view is pretty accurate.

 

I'd have taken him Kevin. Apart from Smallwood he's probably better than anything else we have and also had a lack of arriving in the box and nicking goals. We could certainly use some of that.

 

Strange that I think just the opposite

 

Think the squad suits a 3-4-3 now. Or at least when some players come back from injury.

Crichlow, Osudina, Platt

Osadebe, Walker, Smallwood, Gilliead

Pereira, Cook, Banks


Its just a goals goals goals formation!

 

If you're happy to wait until April when Osadebe is fit to play that formation, then you must also be happy to wait another year for the promotion push

 

He doesn't need to "create" he's got three skilled attacking midfielders to do that.

Puzzled by some with their 'meh' comments about central midfield. As we dominate possession, clearly we've got that area correct. It's not their fault if the three in front lack imagination at times against defensive minded teams.

And clearly Hughes sees it that way, as we can see with today's signings.

 

Osadebe………Walker ?
