Popular Post Mad Cyril Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Nope. It was purely that the club has picked up he has been playing well, so want to get him back to coach that out of him. Needs to reacquaint himself with the BCFC "system". 4 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Maybe the club has half an eye on just bolstering the squad a little in case we have one or two covid positives that require isolation?

Davefevs Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Possible multitude of reasons (all speculative from me): - Baker story is true - Atkinson long-Covid - Left back cover (Dasilva off in January) - general covid squad cover, more bodies the merrier He'd had a good loan at Grimsby until recently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the “until recently” means….they were flying, Towler was impressing. I did some analysis on him a month or so back, when it was going really well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finley_Smith10 Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I don’t get people saying get him in the team. He went on loan to the conference. Obviously he won’t be ready for championship football constantly. We actually need quality 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Reading there forum last week it seems as he has been benched in recent games and dropped down the pecking order. City recalling him is the right thing to do if he isn’t getting game time. He was really rated by the mariners fans from what I’ve read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 After a good start to his loan spell, I think he's been on the bench for the last month due to results/performances I'm sure the loans team have spoken with Grimsby and if he isn't going to be starting regularly then it's best for all parties that he either a) comes back into the first team fold, or b) get him out on another loan to a club that will give him game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely. I hadn't realised just how calamitous Grimsby's fall had been. Top of the table in late October, but lost 7 of the 8 games thereafter. Towler's played in the majority of those losses, most recently 3-2 loss to Dagenham & Redbridge a fortnight ago, which saw them slip to 8th. None of it screams wanting him back to play for City to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get injuries, illness, he may be needed for the match day squad. It’s a mitigation, it’s why we don’t just have 18 player squads!!! Lets not forget he has played for the first team at this level previously. I’m not saying he’s gonna start on Boxing Day but he might be needed to make up numbers…and who knows what after that.

Five goals conceded in those two. I wondered what precipitated such a disastrous loss of team form? It isn't like they have Lee Johnson to blame. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised if he has been brought back so that Nige can do a masterful re-organisation of the team. You can fully expect to see Ayman Benarous playing at centre half and Ryley Towler as an attacking midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 It will be interesting to see. A week ago I would have said it was for a loan higher up the ladder but I now wonder if he is going to be in first-team contention. Pearson seems to lack confidence in some centre-backs and the Baker rumours are a bit of a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
