Quoted from petethemariner
Yes and i seem to remember he scored arguably our best goal of the season, at Gateshead a 25 yarder from a
central position, which perhaps backs up my point - how many other 'screamers' have we scored from distance
this season? Not many, if any.


Very true Pete. I think he isn't played there because he doesn't fit the profile of a Hurst forward. From Neilson you get 100% or 0%, a notional average attacking contribution of 50%. Hurst would rather play someone who always gives him 50% attacking flair all the time. Neilson isn't consistent but we all know that. If you bring in a player like him you have to compromise elsewhere to make up for the infuriating times he loses the ball while knowing that two or three times in a game he is going to make or score a chance nobody else could. Hurst prefers not to take the risk, just play solid and hope for a break.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

Some good points RRFC, i d'ont know about you though, but i cannot remember a season when so few goals
from distance have been scored, if you look at the Lincoln game, that thunderbolt the lad scored for their first from
distance is the sort of thing Scott could do on a  reasonable basis IMO, we d'ont seem to have the flair to break down
stubborn defensive minded teams , particularly at BP and sometimes you. need to rely on a spectacular goal
Neilson in there might not work, i just feel it could be worth a go.

Quoted from pontoonlew


He has been used in his best position, for about 3 games.

We scored 14 goals....


Totally agree -  I saw the first one of these and he was unplayable and at the top of his game, with Pittman and John - Lewis firing on all cylinders as well, the season looked rosy. Particularly with Clay, Brown and McLaughlin  completing a diamond in midfield (Clay at the back of the diamond and Neilson at the front of the diamond). The manager has not recognised the success of the formation that he selected in the Gateshead, Alfreton and Aldershot games (yes we lost at Aldershot but were the best side) and here we are (most of the players are available that played in those games) struggling to score a goal in any game.

Jolley didn't play for Newport today, Whalley played for Luton. Whoever has accepted an offer, would not have played that player today.  Could it be Jolley?

Well I asked two of my York City contacts for an opinion on Miekle today. Oh dear. Wish I hadn't bothered.

That sounds like our man  


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

I know. One said: 'He's done nothing this season and has looked bl00dy awful' and the other said, 'he runs about a lot and tries hard, but he doesn't get to the byeline, doesn't get crosses in, doesn't score or set up goals. I can't see what you'd want with him'.

I do hope it isn't him as these are quotes from a STH and a former YCFC employee.

Miekle was one of mansfields best players in there promotion season. Maybe the league is a step to high at this time for him. Still think it's jolley thou. But could be neither.

Really hope it is Jolley. He offers something different to what all our other strikers have and he was the difference in the play-off games against us.
