Andy mangan?

[kimberly-clark]

why is it out of the question though?

[DanTheMonkey]

Because he is a key player, very important up-front, and he is vital to the team

He keeps everything flowing up-front, and you know as well as i do, Mullin will not be left out of a side for no reason but injury, 110% everytime he takes to the field

[shakermaker]

Don't attack the bloke 'cause he says what he sees for christs sake!

Mullin has not been at his best this season, but he is having to adapt his game the most out of the whole squad. His way of winning the ball is attacked much more quickly in this league than in the Conference; so his performance is bound to come under scrutiny. However Mullin has always been one of those players which you have to watch for the whole 90 minutes to see the extent of his game. He's a striker, winger, & defender all in one player. Not bad for an old fella!
As with Craney, once he finds his feet properly in the league he'll be up amongst the best in League 2.

[kimberly-clark]

i accept the point about mullin an he has just came back form a double hernia, so its understandable. but if im being totally honest i dont think craney will come good. great conference player maybe just an average league player?

[Jimbo T Hornblower]

I dunno about Craney you know. Obviously I cant see whats going on for the full 90 like you lucky lot but didnt Cranners make a poor/slow start to last season and then just shone??? I agree about man marking our 2 most prolific players out of the game though - the Forest game for example - Roberts was tightly watched all game despite this he did well. All it takes is a little underestimation of one of these 2 players by opposition and theyre in trouble. In my eyes thats how good they are and how respected they are as dangermen - they need 2 or 3 players constantly surrounding them to make them ineffective not 1.

look as people have said in the past craney was player of the year last year course every manager in this league is going to have him man marked so hes not going to be te best give the lad a chance we have only played a handfull of games

[Willie Miller]

Ian Craney is & will always be a fantastic part of our wonderful squad. Gifted, very very committed, capable of unlocking defences, passionate, always remembers the fans & wears his heart on his sleeve

We need more like him & I for one, ain't gonna forget last season after 5 games of this one..............

Ian Craney, he scored a cracker at Morecambe Bay!!!!!

[Alvin the chipmunk]

He also chose the Stanley over the Alty you know

[essential]

should of played mangan from the start! kimberly was right! heard craney had another shocker, gonna be hard without welch too. thought it was terrible tactics by coleman to play a 5 man midfield with just mullin upfront. lincolns defence is supposed to be suspect so why not play 2 upfront?????

The above is the first thing I wrote in this thread.. Yet again somoene goes running to the club and tells someone something different. this time I wont let it pass

[maccawozzagod]

same person Kipax?

[Willie Miller]

Mangan missed a one on one last night, to keep his place he needs to score when he comes on & force the managers hand. Unfortuanetly he ain't doing that & Boco when he's back is

PS Who you gonna punch Tony?

[cmonstanley]

why not move him in to midfield or play 4-3-3

[cmonstanley]

paul mullin i mean

[maccawozzagod]

I agree that Mangan aint finishing so maybe Browny should be getting a shot, although he doesn't have the same devasting effect that Mangy has when he runs at tired defenders.
