Saying that I'm not sure where Walker fits in, unless he's earmarked to partner Norwood up front. If we are playing Mcgahey in midfield I'd say that's where he most likely comes in. An upgrade in position without disrupting the rest of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 13 minutes ago, League one forever said: So, what do we think happens formation wise? Does this change us? Or does it just mean, Conlon, Lundy, Sheron in the middle? difficult to 'change us' when weve played the same formation for about two matches and often change mid match!!

Monty Burns Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 16 minutes ago, nzlatic said: The difference now compared to other similar situations is that we haven't had to wait for the players to leave before new comes in. This guy won't have come cheap. Suggests the club is serious about a promotion challenge this season. also he has told us that nobody wants our players and we will need to pay them off which he has also implied we can't afoord to do. so he's arguing against himself there!!

disjointed Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This looks like just the type of player we need, it will bring out the best in Lundstram as he will not be the only creative midfielder we have. If Mickey is happy then so am I. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I feel quite happy with Conlon signing and the pedigree does suggest the club's intent to build a squad capable of progressing out of this league. Credit to Mellon and his team for getting this one over the line, we now appear to have an actual, proper manager and assistant in place. I still believe promotion [without a miraculous run and set of circumstance] is not on the cards this season, however, next season could be it.

Isn’t that what is actually happening? We ARE in a playoff place now and it’s early January! I would suggest it is on the cards for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion is very much on the cards this season it won't take a massive improvement for us to go up. If you look at our results they have been that of a promotion chasing side for 12 months now. The first 9 games this season if anything was a blip. We can allow ourselves to believe. Edited January 9 by GlossopLatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say we are in that miraculous position just yet and the playoffs are not actually the playoffs until the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play like we did Saturday and we have no chance. However another one or two with Conions pedigree through the door, even on loan and we should stand a decent chance of an exciting end to the season.

Even if we don't beat Barnet or Bromley we can still go up it won't be the end of the promotion push. They are big games though you're right and I expect us to be up for it. I don't think either Barnet or Bromley will particularly fancy coming up here against an in form Oldham side certainly not 1 that has been strengthened. Don't forget we now have a manager who knows all about getting promotion that could be the difference in the run in.

mikeroyboy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Excellent signing and pedigree for this league and L2. I wouldn’t mind betting Mellon has a right footed, cut above this league, midfielder in mind with maybe different attributes. A strong midfield will take pressure of the defence and can only benefit the front with a much better service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could drop a place or two in the next few weeks and promotion is still on the cards. If we are in the playoffs at the end of the season even in 6th or 7th and promotion is still on the cards. No-one, bar the very unlikely to be relevant Chesterfield, will want to face us at home. We've beaten the teams in 3rd to 5th away this season and were on top at Bromley until the water break at 25 minutes, when BL9 8 signed his P45. I don't think Bromley will fancy their chances against us with 5PM as our manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
