No missilou played alongside Lyden. I thought sylla was pretty poor tbh hence why he's where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloshed Joe Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 5 hours ago, SweeperKeeper said: Ollie Banks: 3 goals in 51 matches Ben Garrity: 4 goals in 39 matches Mo Sylla: 1 goal in 51 matches Callum Whelan: 0 goals in 66 matches Hardly a massive difference, all got a worse scoring record than Pidge, McCalmont or Keillor-Dunn. Doesn't make up for the fact that Garrity couldn't control a ball and Banks didn't put a tackle in the whole time he was here. At the moment, I think we need a Sylla style enforcer more than another attacking midfielder. Not bothered if it is actually Sylla, though. Am not saying Banks & Garrity are decent. Just said why are the likes of Sylla and Whelan rated and those two derided. You’ve listed their Oldham stats, but Banks has 20 + goals in L1 & L2 in his career (not great at all). His 3 goals for us were in L1 and when he dropped into L2 he did well and improved his scoring rate, yet if he was announced as coming back there’d be howls of derision. But we’ll accept Sylla happily enough? Whelan hasn’t come close to scoring once as far as I can remember. Garrity was very average and poor technically but offered a good goal threat which has been developed at Pott Vale. 2 of Garrity’s 4 goals last season came in narrow L2 wins. 4 extra points? Points that help us not get relegated. Sylla offers us the averageness and poor technique without hardly any goal threat - yet it seems some would be pleased to have him back? At this level you have to accept a certain standard of player and their limitations - but finding ones that can score and create the odd goal are essential to getting enough points to avoid danger.

I’ve watched Mo Sylla a few times recently down here at my local club Aldershot (including today thanks to Crawley postponement) tbh, he has been the best player on the pitch in each game, breaks up play and runs forward at every opportunity…if we do go down to the NL we could be facing him and frankly, he looks better than any of our midfielders. I think there is very little difference between the NL and League 2..as Harrogate, Sutton and others have shown recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a merely a reflection of where he's at and we are at that we would even consider taking him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles better than Cisse from what we've seen so far - Fane did a good job as a ball winner in league one but needed to give it to Byrne etc. Sylla could play a bit as well as win the ball and easily walks into our current midfield.

Chris15Arm Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Missilou and Fane with Whelan further up. Bahamboula/Adams and DKD/Vaughan wider. Id be very happy. Fane to win it. Missilou to run the midfield. Whelan to control it and create. Would work well IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northampton and Newport are in the midst of mass of fields and nothing else. So it would be harder to settle. He would hit the ground running here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is very little difference between the NL and League 2..as Harrogate, Sutton and others have shown recently Always preferred Sylla to Fane. People seem to have a strangely high opinion of Fane, which amazes me. He got in the way of the opposition (not tackled) and could pass the ball 2 yards. That was it. He couldn't pass any further that 2 yards, when he did try and tackle he usually got booked and as for creativity? Forget it. Waste of a wage, but I have faith in our Sporting Director's ability to know what the team needs. Lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he was carrying a knock or something, but it made him a lot less effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good against us, prev club fans wanted to keep him and looked ok in pre season when wasnt injured. He's an action based CDM so we have honestly played him injured as a no10. A fit Cisse in a 3 w Whelan n Bowden would be more than enuf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember him at Mansfield. He was sought after. But that was 2 knees ago. Would rather stick with hope than go for a 35 Yr old striker who can't run or jump and has been shocking for years. French 3rd division is equal/better quality than linfield! And he's not even pulled up trees there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
