Shaun McWilliams has a lot to prove this season .
No way is he a replacement for McCormack currently and neither is he the same sort of player .
His link play is nowhere near the level of McCormack .
There is a player there though and Norwich were interested in him a few seasons ago .
He just needs to kick on , score more goals and create more chances .

As I said to Everbrite, you see what you see and I see what I see. I think he will prove you wrong this season.

Sorry, but I liked McCormack, for you would know the opposition would be scared about being ‘taken out’. I think you need someone who has this fear factor, and so far of what I have seen of McWilliams, although good technically, is someone who is a bit light weight... and who likes could be easily run off the ball..

Every successful Cobblers team needs a hard, bald, beardy bastàrd in it - McCormack, Taylor, Dyche, Rennie... I don't care who Curle signs over the summer, as long as someone bald and beardy is at the top of his shopping list we'll do OK. Grin

FACT: Shaun has played nearly 80 games (when selected) in the last 3 seasons, so where do you get your quote 'too injury prone' from?

Surely your memory goes back more than the last 4 months!

He still isn't quite good enough, lacks consistency and again has a history of injuries the last being a lengthy spell out of the first team squad.

Yes we don't want some young lean footballer he has to be bald and beardy, I think this should be Curle's main aims in that role.  Grin Grin

I agree,

Sean has the tenacity to break up midfield but his youthful enthusiasm can cause him to get sold in a challenge too early unlike McCormack, but that is definitely something that comes with experience.

I really want to see Sean push on this year, but I don't see him as a natural heir to McCormack, they are different types of player.

Shame we no longer have the services of Turnbull. A very capable holding midfielder as well as a very good defender.

For me Turnbull was the 2nd best DM, Best LB and 2nd best CB.

If McCormack was not there we always looked better when Turnbull was in front of the defence. It's a shame he was on the contract he was on as he would be perfect for a smaller squad.

It’s deja vu for me as far as Shaun is concerned, he has undoubted quality but every close season I say that he needs to get bigger/fitter - if he was at a premier or championship club the first thing they would do is bulk him up. I appreciate that he also hasn’t had much luck with injuries but he needs to progress this season.

I almost entirely agree, I had him as 2nd best DM and best LB, CB.
It might be even harder finding a replacement DM than CB though so an even bigger miss with MacCormack also gone.

Turnbull was not a midfielder - part of his problem was that he seemed to think he was - very much a case of thinking he was more of a footballer than he was. we used him as a stop gap centre midfielder, and he was our 3rd best centre half of the three - certainly wasnt justifying the money he was on. i am sure we will see him at a big spending club in league 2 or sitting on the bench playing for someone in league 1.

Shay McCartan one of the whispers?

Are you "excited" by any of the whispers?

Any of them "close" to completing?

Keep up the good work!

Has anyone found the sixfields pen yet??

The players who’ve been offered contracts don’t seem in any hurry to commit do they??

Surely the club should set a deadline so that they can get on with recruitment.

They will not sign until the transfer/registration window opens, probably 1st August. No registrations for transfers or new contracts will be accepted until then.

Mistake to let him go if that is true, Curle makes it sound like he would demand 3K+ Pw.

Nothing on Crewe web sites- zilch. They were looking at David Turnbull of Motherwell I think? Crewe have like us awaiting on 3 top players to resign. One of them Jones has left the Club and has signed for Lincoln. They are apprehensive about Porter who some think will sign for another L1 Club. Gillingham seem keen to splash the cash as well. What is your source for our Turnbull anticipated signing.
