Stuart Howson gone

[Outback Ozzy]

Whalley Red, don't quite understand your post as K3mpy has not posted anything in this particualr forum!!! Confused, how come people close to the club say Howson's not gone yet you insist he is going! Lets wait for the official announcement eh! And lets hope he does stay and play for his place, coz it looks like hacker's the next to go out on loan. (L.E.T. I think the quote was from by J.C.)

Howson is a class act, also Butler is a fine prospect. Said to my mate on Saturday "Butler's playing well, probably get dropped then". Am I just an old cynic?

There only one of our full backs not up to Conference standard but since I seem to be in a minority of one I daren't mention his name.

Is that the full back who never seems to be where he is supposed to be, is a bit slow in tackling, doesn't mark anyone at set pieces and whose distribution leaves a lot to be desired ? I wonder who you mean.

[Redraine]

That's the one!

Outback Ozzy, there were a few posts deleted by Zombie after K3MPY's childish nonsense. It would have made more sense if Zombie had deleted mine as well as I was answering one of K3MPÝ's points.

Now that Howson is officially a Droylsden player, can anyone see any sense in this?

I wonder if Coley has someone else lined up?

[JEFF]

Now we do not have a left back at all. Howson has gone, Hollis has gone, Bimson not offered terms, Butler on trial. I do not understand what we are doing. I suppose we could always play players out of position, Cav at left back, Rocky at right back, etc. Coley said that he was looking for a left back and now gives one away. There must be some reason for it. I wonder what it is.

he never really stood out, but the only problem is any player who can play on the right wing or at left back or in the net with anything about him will stand out in our squad because we are lacking quality in certain positions, and have nobody who can specialise in them, and getting players who can is easier said than done

[confused]

He certainly stood out to me as having a touch of class.Perhaps he didn`t get much back-up from Brannan at times.Let`s not forget Stuart Howson was signed as a centre back.The reason he ended up playing left back was because that was where the problem area was in the team.To allow him to go without giving him longer to settle into the team is stupid.He did nothing wrong in the games he played in.He was probably the only one in the team who could hit a diagonal ball 50 yards and find his man with his passes.Like many others I feel Coleman still does not know his best 11 and to let Stuart go proves it even more.Look at Jody Bannim,he has scored 10 goals from 8 starts at Droylsden and we struggle to score at the moment.Coleman never even gave him a start.
On a final note I would just like to say good luck for the future Stuart and maybe we will see you again here soon (because we are going nowhere).

Yes but it's a completely different league, different playing style etc. And lets be honest he didn't look very impressive in the games he came on for did he?

[RossendaleRed]

I agree about Jody Banim. I thought he was overweight personally, and that wont have helped him playing in the conference. Like Smiffy says it is a different league he is playing in now and logically it must be easier for him.

The Droylsden messageboards a few days ago were really praising Howson on his performances, but he is gone and we must look forward. Its like Tin Monkey said, maybe Mr Coleman has someone else in mind?
