Can someone please tell me what Scannell gives to the team instead of Sousa?
On Monday Sean got on the ball, ran at their defence with little pace and lost position. He then put the ball well wide from a position where he had the keeper to beat. He seems to be a player who for a wide man has not a great deal of pace and stamina for the modern game. In Sousa at least he offers trickery, pace and an unpredictable nature if only his final ball and goals return was better.
In short I wouldn't consider Scannell for a new contract nor a regular spot in the team moving forward. However Hurst sees something in him and Sousa seems frozen out atm


Sousa is frozen out because he can't finish as you say. Does all the hard work then fluffs the easy bit over and over, this is why he's at this level. Scannell wouldn't be anywhere near us if he didn't have the injury problems he's had. From what I've seen of Scannell, which admittedly isn't much, he's impressed. I guess if your opinion of a player is based on how exciting and fast they are then Sousa is our best player but I prefer results and all round quality. Unless Sousa can prove himself when it comes to finishing chances and train hard in that part of his game then I'm confused how he's expected to be a L2 player.

Wow. You’re judging a footballer on an isolated incident on a bobbly pitch. Watch the Stockport game back and you’ll see the difference between Sousa and Scannell. Scannell tracks the opposite full back as well as going forward, the defensive side of Sousa’s game is pretty much non existent.

No pace?..he's pretty quick if you watch him closely, he's one of those clever players who slows down then puts in a burst of pace to best his man, has quick feet too and is physically stronger than Sousa.

Aren't stats wonderful, now can you prove to us that Scannell is only fit for 35% of a season?


  100% - 65%  =  35%   simple

Quoted from arryarryarry


In the last six seasons Scannell has started on average less than 10 League games a season and so far this season has only started 3.


But how many of those games was he injured, or purely not selected by the Manager, give me some proof, not speculation!

Since the end of the 2015-16 season he hasn't managed to play in half of the games of any season and has played in less than 100 competitive games for whatever reason during what is supposed to be the prime of his career and that is a concern.

Contrast that with the period 2007-2016 where he played the majority of most seasons and amassed just under 300 competitive appearances.

Scannell is miles ahead of Sousa for end product and skill plus his experience. He’ll prove to be a huge asset in the run in I’m sure.

you and I are both big Scannel fans, and have advocated his inclusion for a long time, but i disagree about Sousa's defensive game being non existent, he does work hard getting back

Is it me or is this a bit of a vacuous argument.

Not fit or deemed not good enough to be selected still equals hardly any games for about five seasons.
