rudemedic Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Connor brown could fill in maybe? I think if Grounds was unavailable and Wabara was still here then Brown would play RB and Wabara LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Gotta be Mellor. Starting to look like his face just doesn't fit with Dickov. Which is a shame because I think he's got a big future in midfield. Reckon he would do the job that we are all wishing furman would do at the moment. A good loan spell and positive reports might get him back on the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do not know why the only sniff he has had has been JPT??!! so promising last season vs Carlisle in midfield and playing there in pre-season..............

GlossopLatic Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Mellor is a strange one as I expected him to be really challenging for the first team this season. whats he like in training? Is he out on piss? Bad attitude? personal problems? the ability is clearly their smith did well IMO in both boxes. I just think with him in the team we become too direct. Smiths first touch is appaling one moment in the first half on tuesday where the ball came to him all he had to do was take a touch and put Derbyshire through, it took him 3 touches to control the ball before he fell over it. He wins most things in the air but he's dreadful on the deck, so for now we should only use him from the bench.

Crusoe Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Since Jacob, Simpson, Belezika, Sutherland, Mellor and Taylor are all out of Saturday's squad I'd say that makes them all candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 While the squad is still short on numbers can only see Miller going out on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard David Mellor he's a quiet unassuming lad that keeps his head down and works hard. It's more a case of Dickov prefers Wesolowski and Furman and not passing the halfway line. If I had an attacking midfielder though like Mellor, I'd use him. We were a different side at Chesterfield once he came on, suddenly our midfield attacked and began shooting on goal. The lad has impressed whenever he has played, but another one where cautious Dicky allows his set in stone tactics to ruin peoples' chances of staking a claim. And why did he sign Taylor after binning Riley, Burns and Parkes I do not know. The lad is not ready for first-team football and won't be for a while. Another case of no matter what Dickov has to have his own way…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Even if Mellor isn't what he wants in centre mid then surely he would be atleast be an option at Left Back or left mid he has the ability to play either position his defensive work would need to improve but if you have wes and furman sitting it gives the full backs licence to get forward. Grounds isn't a particularly bad left back he's solid but far from irreplaceable and Mellor would certainly give us more going forward with his ability to deliver a good ball, plus its always an asset to have someone who is a specialist from set pieces.

Crusoe Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 But Mellor hasn't convinced much in previous attempts, right? I think his creativity would be best used somewhere in midfield, rather than replacing a specialist left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his creativity would be best used somewhere in midfield, rather than replacing a specialist left back. He isn't quick enough for full back, but could develop into a powerful forward driving midfield player - if given licence here to do so.

billytrip Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would send out Kirk Millar out on loan.For the life in me I can`t see the lad making the grade,and I was amazed that PD didn`t get shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his creativity would be best used somewhere in midfield, rather than replacing a specialist left back. He probably would be best as a midfielder your right I was playing devils advocate and suggesting a possible alterantive to him going into centre mid because he is the type of player who could play a few different positions, either way its dissapointing to not see more of him so far as I had high hopes for him this season.

oafcprozac Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yes, yes he is and that's why the buck stops with him and for a guy who has only won 28 league games out of 98, you think he'd be more than flexible with his approach when it's clear it's doesn't :censored:ing work!
