GrahamC Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 The Torquay site reports that Craig Woodman is now on loan to them for the entire season, well at least it helps Tinman to ensure he can find a place in the side for his mate Mickey Bell.

EmersonsKev Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 News to me aswell, thought he went on loan for a month. Looks like Jim Brennan has only been playin a bit part at Norwich, any chance of bringing him back on loan or even on a permanent basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon Hater Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Really don't understand why you, and others give Mickey Bell stick, he has performed well, when playing left back, his position. The "mate" thing is a load of ********, he's just one of, if not our best footballer, twice the player Woodman is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Woodman isn't bad, he's not great. Mickey can play left back, left wing back, and even Left Midfield (although his lack of pace hampers this slightly now).

The "mate" thing is a load of ********, he's just one of, if not our best footballer, twice the player Woodman is. ← It is all about opinion I suppose (our best player!!!!!!) but I see a player who when he plays at left back doesn't tackle and when he plays in midfield has no pace to go at his man and plays the square ball time and time again. He was a good player a few years ago but the free kicks of 97/98 and the delivery of a dead ball are a distant memory now. Tinnion said Woodman lacked desire, I can see none in Bell myself.

Guest Real Robbo Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Must agree Bell best days are far behind him, his inability to put in a decent cross is getting embarrasing. It either hits the first man, goes way over the intended target or ends up in the stands. For a comparison, just have a look at Luton's first goal, a superb curling pacy ball in from their left back and a bullet header. The few crosses we get in a floated, you know the ones, like every corner we take. Bell hasn't the legs to get back and defend, so prefers to stay in our half the majority of time, meaning another attacking option has gone, and he plays too many square balls or backward passes. Thanks for the memories Mickey, but we need someone like Luton have got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Just because he is old doesn't mean he is poor, I don't feel he plays well as a left winger but as left back he is exceptional, i the wilkshire/bell combination down the left is much better that the bell/hill or wilkshire/hill combination. As for Bell's defensive qualities I fill he is not exactly the type of player that you would think to put in a mean tackle but he suprisesme sometimes as he does, i feel he is not twice the player woodman is but 3 or 4 times player he is, actually that may be a bit harsh but whatever.

Spiderman Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 For one who was seemingly so desperate to earn another contract, I feel his input since playing has been most disappointing. Still probably our best option for full back in a back-four ... and that is a bit of a downer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
