Nolan is miles better than Berrett, Summerfield, Comley and probably Disley and Clements. Involved in all 4/5 of our play off goal. Don't see how Disley and Clay could 'boss' the midfield without someone to actually do something with the ball. Ask a lot of people and they'll say Nolan was MOTM at Wembley.

Now, he couldn't really tackle and didn't track back. But people let Vose get away with that because he isn't that sort of player. Would have him back in the team in a heartbeat.

Think he has to play in a three to get the most out of him, we got found wanting in the 2nd half of that season sometimes because we treated Nolan as Clay. Clay and Disley together we able to maximise Nolan's effectiveness, hence our domination at Wembley and victory at Braintree. If played in a three here with McAllister and Osborne I think we'd be a really good side.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Quoted from Abdul19


Although, despite leaving less than 8 months ago and signing a load of his old players, he's not actually signed any of our players!

Most his signings as a FL manager are pretty uninspired really.


Maybe Fenty told him not to come back with any offer for our players because the answer will be f^^^^lk off

Quoted from grimsby pete
Shrewsbury getting a bit like WBA when Buckley took half of our team,

Then when Buckley mark 2 returned we got half of WBA team following him.


Exactly what I was thinking Pete. Shows how we've fallen when we're no longer a feeder club to WBA but 'the likes of....Shrewsbury and Hartlepool'.  

Remember that cover on Groarty Di ck?

(for our younger listeners that's a traditional Black Country dish, not an STD.)


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

His best signing so far. Chesterfield couldn't get the best out of him Hurst can.


I spoke to a Chesterfield fan mid season and he said Nolan was the one bright light in a poor team.  A good signing for the Shrew's, I don't think we would have been promoted under Hurst without Nolan, so he is a player we owe much to.
Good luck to him, but let's hope PH takes Summerfield & Berrett too

One of the most overrated players I've ever seen at BP, especially by some on the fishy.

His inclusion almost totally derailed our promotion season from the Naitonal League. He had a very good first touch which suckered in some on here to believe he was something he was not. Positionally he was often a liability, would look to close opponents down at the wrong time and would often switch off, allowing opponents to drift past him. Tbf, that wasn't his strength either but it's part of your job in a midfield two.

We saw the best of him when Monkhouse got injured and Hurst had to adjust his team and with Clay & Disley to make up for his lack of team play. They were his two best games for town and for that at least we should be grateful. Still, for me very overrated and I wouldn't be surprised to see Shrewsbury struggle next season, agian.
