Re: Trepidation over Mellor
All Northenders are anxious to see Mellor in action for us, but we just have to be parient here. Remember that Mellor would quite likely have been included against Sunderland - without that latest 'knock' on his knee. But that injury setback was most likely just a 'knock', i.e. only a short-team problem, nothing serious. So when looking at Mellor's situation calm and objectively, I think the situation is that:
- Mellor is (still) close to making his 1st team debut: say, within the next month or so
- it is highly unlikely that this latest 'knock' would be something career-threating
On the other hand, knee injuries are often complex cases, so they have to be treated with caution.
The best news for Mellor at the moment is that we have other strikers (Nugent, Agyemang, Whaley, Dichio, and now Brett, too) who can do the job for us, so there's absolutely no need to take some risks and rush Mellor back too soon.

Re: Trepidation over Mellor
Absolutely. There just is no rush now that we have Nugent, Agyemang, Ormerod and Dichio all available. I wonder what we will do tomorrow if Paddy is fit. I would probably start with Dichio and Nugent and maybe think of throwing Paddy and Ormerod on with 20 minutes to go. What a luxury if that proves to be the situation.

Simmo's getting more out of the players than stumpy did, especially the strikers. Remember how urgent it seemed to sign a striker at the begining of the season ? It doesn't seem quit that urgent now does it ? Mellor will be a star when he's ready. Lets give him the time to get 100 % and then unleash him on the championship.

Hi guys!
Sure you'll all be delighted to hear that I've just got back from Japan and am ready to launch into some more PNE-Online quality debate.
My thoughts on Mellor aren't too different from most other people on here. Let him take his time, let's not rush him and then when he does come back he'll be ready to really bang some in.
He's going to be a quality player for us, let's just be patient.
On a side note - Japan had no steak and ale pies, so it's good to be home!

He's gonna need a small operation to clean out his knee and will be out for 3 to 4 weeks.

Re: Trepidation over Mellor
Saw his piccies in Saturday's programme - would anyone else care to compare the fatness/plumpness in his cheeks from the picture of him at Anfield - to the one at the
Press Conference with Simmo & Nuge.
I think the lad should lay off going to KFC a bit and have a few steam sessions in the sauna.
