I doubt the people who scouted / recommended him have said he's crap. We've signed plenty other clubs have said are crap and they've done ok. Chill out.

Hope he scraps and battles here. If he's been recommended by Nuttall then I'm not so sure, I get it we haven't seen him play yet and I also get the fact it's a short term deal but really, is he as good as we could bring in for an option out wide, fucking hell he struggled in NLN which is a huge step down on what even we are playing, makes no sense at all to me, just another body on the training pitch and if we keep going the back page of the programme won't be sufficient to list all the squad, can't have it that this lad is any better than Burgess for instance.

Wardie Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 All opinions are worthy of a listen and mine is that we need to see him in a few games, out wide, hopefully, before we can pass any kind of judgement. No point in listening to fans of other clubs and judging a player before he's even kicked a ball, as we have seen when ours have left to go on to bigger and better, no matter ow much we slated them. Ask the question again this time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 One thing I would love to know the answer to but never will is which scout (at the time when Tollitt was in form) thought Colclough was the one to take from Altrincham and not one of their central midfielders Marriot or Lundstram. We could do with them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to play wide left but FC used him as a lone striker this season, I'm staggered we've brought Green in because it appears he's mates with a player whose shown very little desire or ability since he came in in Nuttall, Linney is the opposite he work relentlessly at times and if there was an opportunity for either we've got the bum deal with Green.

Gaz_Oafc Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Based on nothing but "stats" since he moved to Chesterfield, it doesn't look like it's worked out how he probably imagined it would so far for Colclough? 8 games, 4 starts, 0 goals, 0 assists, not completed 90mins yet and didn't get off the bench yesterday.

Flemboy Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Thought our latest signing Green showed signs of promise.He's quick,can turn defenders and works hard.Only downside was his inability to find one of our players with his crosses and one which sailed over the goals.Im sure he will prove a good wing player .Who knows...he could be another Alan Groves but I doubt it!!!

Fair play to the lad at least he looks to attack his full back not turn it back 20 yards to one of our defenders who can't pass water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
