I know Oates is injured now but I expected big things from him and Swan this year. Both caused us problems in the last few years.
What’s gone wrong for them?
Huge win for us today against a red hot Walsall.
I know people will say we still have Madden and Powell coming off the bench (and they were actually good today) but their reputations and current output haven’t matched this season, particularly in Powell’s case.
To beat Walsall with 12 fit...
I’ve seen his very impressive attacking stats but can he defend/be able to play in a back four?
I’m worried we’ll go back to wing backs again when we’ve been much better in the diamond.
Pretty much.
Looked more like a sprinter than a footballer for much of his spell. Put in some decent cameos off the bench in the past month with his best coming up front against Notts.

We could only sell him (in the EFL) to you as you can’t play for more than two clubs in the same season.
Might be something that happens if we bring in another midfielder.
I can totally accept that playing for you guys he’s more suited to as you play a back four, defend deeper and have less possession and it’s the same set-up he excelled in for Torquay.
For 150k plus though I’d want the best defender in the league and I know he’s nowhere near that.
The defending...
Yeah with our injuries we’re out of the title race. They’ve already allowed teams to claw us back and somehow every week it just gets worse.
We’ll try and add a few but every club already adds a Stockport tax on and now with this injury crisis and us in a promotion race they’ll try and take the...
He’s an attacking midfielder with two goal contributions in half a season. Just like with us he never seems to last a full game or go too many appearances without being dropped to the bench.
Please can you explain what he’s doing so well because it isn’t assisting or scoring goals?
