Ross Hannah was pretty good until he signed permanently and forgot what the offside rule was 😎

Nathan Pond and Connor Townsend for me... Both superb!

Townsend by a country mile.
Pond was excellent and whilst we had decent players in his position afterwards, none were quite as commanding. But Townsend was just leagues and leagues above that level.
Other notable mentions to Scott Neilson and Ross Hannah. Marcus Marshall was very good in his first loan spell too. In the very first season in the Conference Richard O'Donnell was also very impressive.
Generally though our loan players, we had a fair few of them too, were largely disappointing. I dare say there's quite a few that most of us would struggle to remember at all!

Townsend was a class above. I don't think we'd have been promoted without him.
Apart from him I'd say Brodie and Tomlinson.

I preferred his other one, a last minute effort I think, which went in higher up the goal... and Scott had the audacity to say it was about time he delivered!

If Townsend or Pond had stayed the full season in either of their respective seasons, we’d have come much closer to winning the league.

Was Manny Panther a loan player or someone we signed on a short-term deal? Not saying he was one of the best, but I remember we were a bit disjointed in midfield until he came in and settled things down with Dizza.
Same goes for Will Antwi. Think he brought a bit of stability at the back when we were still trying to adjust to life in non-league.

Has to be Pond as the best, he was absolutely superb. Pretty sure we had him Pearson, Miller and another decent CB in the squad at that time.
Scott Neilson was initially on loan too, wasn't he? Then went to Luton as they tried to sign our entire squad that was top around Christmas I think. If Hearn hadn't have got crocked and we'd have somehow managed to keep hold of Pond and Neilson that team could have won that title.

I thought Pond was very good, as was Townsend. Ok so who else, errmmm what about Tom Naylor? I thought he was good, but maybe not as good as Pond or Townsend
On loan players
O'Donnell Marshall Neilson Hannah Pond Townsend Antwi Panther Tomlinson Brodie Hoban Arnold (I think)
I'm sure there are others, there's one that i cant remember the name but was a striker under hurst, i think he scored on his debut. I think his name may have been foreign lol.

Townsend couldn't stop jack mackreth at Barrow. He did eventually when jack was subbed after an hour - i think mainly due to him being man marked by an extra player in the second half

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't.

He's currently plying his trade at Warrington Town! I never thought he was that good but didn't think he'd be playing Northern Premier League at the age of 27.

Crikey. I think the lad has a lot of unfulfilled potential. Could have been one of our best non-league players- always played with more freedom and verve against us than for us.

Did he have some sort of an injury problem, I wonder? I remember him causing us all sorts of problems earlier in his career but really lacked pep and didn't seem to have the same pace when he signed for us.

I think he still had it, it’s just that when he went haring off down the wing from our half he’d get 10 yards beyond the halfway line and seem to suddenly remember ‘keep us shape, keep us shape’ then slow right down to make sure the opposition had time to get back and reorganise.

Nah, I really think he didn't have the pace we thought. That said, I think I'm correct in remembering that one of his best performances against us was when he was up against Ridley. Perhaps not a surprise he looked quick in that situation!

Didn’t say he was that fast (but he was quick enough) and I remember him showing what he could really do at Barnet in 2015.
(Can’t believe it was already 4 years ago)

He annihilated Townsend for pace every time in the first half at barrow - we couldn't have known anything about him He was fast. Best player I'd seen in that league hence why we were trying to sign him for 2 years. I dont think he was keen on on leaving the Liverpool area He even looked good in the fa cup game against oxford on tv a couple of year ago. One of the best players on the pitch and hit the post But only did it at Macclesfield and barrow. Maybe teams are more defensive in non league against the ex league teams like tranmere / grimsby / Wrexham?
