Quoted from ginnywings


Not by everyone. I've never understood why Clay gets so much praise because he is average. Not a bad player but not creative enough for the heart of the team.  


Agreed.

I've only seen Nolan once and that was against poor opposition but he is quick thinking and makes things happen. Clay is going to have a hard time getting back in the team. Some say they feel sorry for Clay but if you don't better your players as you go along, you stand still.


Agreed. As much as Clay has some good games, generally he isn't a fast enough thinker and slow's play down too much against teams who are happy to sit back and scrap for a point. Certainly a good player to have in a squad but with Disley less able to get forward than previous years we need someone better than Clay at attacking and moving the ball around with speed.

Pleased that he's made a good start but gotta feel a tad sorry for Clay. Still Nolan has come in and scored 2 goals already, something which Clay lacks in his game. Maybe this will really spur him on a bit.


Absolutely this. We need competition for places.


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

PH clearly has belief in Nolan, having tracked him for a while and knows how to play him to get the best out his talents. Maybe a natural successor for Diz.

Could be especially if Clay ups his game tackling wise and plays alongside of him

Idon't give a flying f *** what colour hair he's got, if he can score a few vital goals that help us get out of here he is a hero in my eyes.

I was sceptical about Nolan and thought he would be another back up but to be fair, the lad has started off well, better than I expected and better than some signings have in recent times.

Probably Clay will be back when Disley is suspended and it will be interesting to see how he does alongside Nolan.

Players do lose form and it's important to keep the team on its game while they get it back, perhaps Nolan will be just the spark we need in that respect.
