LightDN123 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Sounds like Conlon is best used further forward more as a 10 after listening to the Vale fan on the Phone in. Assuming we will stick with a midfield 3, sounds more like a Sheron replacement and McGahey to stay in the holding role. In which case, we need another CDM to play that role. Unless Mellon wants to use him in the holding role, which might help his injuries ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so we lose the one tackle a game from McGahey for a bit more mobility from Sheron. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Sheron cannot play as the holding player because he struggles to pass a football, he's fine further up the pitch pressing the opposition but it kills us when we have to play through him. Lundstrum should hold for me as he isn't really contributing in an attacking sense and he can look after the football a bit better. McGahey just doesn't convince me, I know he's doing a job to a degree but I can't see him being a MM type player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGahey just doesn't convince me, I know he's doing a job to a degree but I can't see him being a MM type player. Agree that Sheron is better utilised 10 yards further forward, which is why I think Conlon will replace him, especially in the long term. I don’t think MM trusts Sheron as the CDM which is why we are seeing McGahey play that position for now. I think Lundstrum is more of a traditional 8 and should continue playing that role. If we could get a holding midfield player in, assuming it’s not what Conlon has been signed for, the midfield could look a lot better. Sheron and Ward on the bench providing cover, and get rid of Gardner and Shelton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Having paid to watch Saturday's game on NLTV I found I had access to other NL games including a level down so was keeping an eye on Bishop's Stortford v Blyth Spartans which kicked off at 1pm. Didn't realise at the time that I was watching a Latics player as the somewhat mysteriously signed keeper, Dan Langley, is on loan at Blyth. Can't say I recall anything god or bad in particular!

Can't say I recall anything god or bad in particular! His signing has been very strange. Signed a short term deal and immediately loaned out. I can only think there was plans to get rid of Norman and he was cover, but it didn’t materialise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) 47 minutes ago, Dave_Og said: Thought the injury to Norman was earlier than that It was a second injury. First was early in the season which led to Hudson getting his chance. Then later in the season Langley was on the bench for the games against Newport and Eastleigh. I wondered if Steve Collis, or whoever scouts keepers for us, had seen something in Langley as per Hudson, and Norman as well to a certain extent.

LightDN123 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 On the keepers, the youth keeper that has been around the first team squad as the 3rd choice before Langley came in looked to be extremely small for a keeper. Maybe we don’t have a decent youth keeper coming through so we got a young keeper from another club to develop instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
