Hannah leaves Bantams for Grimsby (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Best of luck Ross. Wish you every success at Grimsby and hope you play league football again soon. It's a shame he never got a fair crack of the whip, as a Jackson signing he was on a hiding to nothing as soon as the manager changed, as were many others. He scores goals where ever he plays so Grimsby have got a great signing. With more games i'm certain he would have been a leading scorer for the Bantams. Competition for places was just too tough and with Hanson, Wells, Connell and now Gray he would only ever be sub - he just wants to play football and i don't blame him for leaving. He was a good professional for City, always happy to sign autographs for young fans etc. Good luck to the 'fox in the box' !

Thank god for that. At least we don't have to listen to all his lovers banging on about how amazing he is and should be playing for us every week. Conference is his level. Good luck to the lad though, hope he does well for them. Just not good enough to get in our team.

Hi chaps
Paolo di canio has turned down a move for aiden flint joining you a towering defender who wins everything in the air not brilliant at passing and gets sent off a few times. Struggling to get in our team with ward and devera keeping many clean sheets.
Enjoyed watching your lot get the better out of villa after they knocked us out. Shame Connell never came on, how do you date him? Looks a great pen taker after all we have missed 3/3 this season.
Good luck hope you make wembley and I for one will be cheering you on

Onwards and upwards

If Ross gets Grimsby promoted then scores plenty next season in league two what will that prove? Nothing only his face didn't fit here or should I say his style if play. Its not that he isn't good enough only that we as a club don't play the style of football suited to Ross. I'm hoping they get promoted and Ross wins the league two golden boot next season to shut some of you lot up.
. To say he is rubbish at this level just because he doesn't suit or fit into our system is a disgrace. Good luck Ross I hope you get to shut a few up on here but not at our expense I hope

We can all have an opinion macca. If you think Hannah is good enough for league 2 then fair enough. It seems that some of us believe he has limitations and the concept of him banging in lots of goals in this division is highly unlikely. No point arguing about the future. You think he will score lots of goals in league football in future...noted. I dont. lets see what happens.BTW good luck to Ross...he deserves success.

I'm all for opinions and I'm not saying he will score loads just he never got the chance. He is a goalscorer and offers little else whereas parky prefers a work horse who scores very little, which is fine as the system with wells getting the goals is working. Only thing I'm knocking is why people have to knock the guy when he has less than six hours football to prove his worth. Why do people on here think the conference is so poor. How many league teams cone straight back? Why do most of the promoted teams always seem to fare well and in recent years finish higher than our team in the league if the gulf is so massive. He will score goals in league two with Grimsby if they are promoted because they will play to his strengths. Parkinson as only ever praised the lad and his attitude

Macca. Ho much time do you think PP should allow a player to prove his worth. PP knows more than we do; sees him every day in training, has seen him play friendlies and reserve fixtures i.e. the man who makes the decisions has seen vastly more than six hours. As a result of what he has seen; he does not think it is worth risking his own job by giving Ross more 1st team action than he has had. With Wells on 16 for the season Connell on 8 and Hanson on 7; where exactly do you think the opportunity to play Hannah has been? If our top 3 scorers continue in the same vein for the rest of the season then they will have a similar haul between them to a certain Mills, Blake and Beagrie.

We'll never really know if 'PP' didn't rate Ross Hannah but we DO know that Nahki Wells' ' rising star status' eclipsed RH, so that Hanson/Wells became the estabished front two when once it was meant to be Hanson/Hannah. After 'PP' signed Alan Connell, RH fell even further down the 'pecking order.' And RH wouldn't have been human if that didn't affect his confidence!

On the occasions (not many) when he DID play, RH was disappointing based around the fact his role was basically to put the ball in the net ..and he didn't do it..enough. (for City) But yes, it can be fairly argued he didn't get ENOUGH opportunities to 'bond' with fellow strikers to do this. (A bit like 'which came first ..the chicken or the egg?!!' ie more opportunities might have meant more goals...more goals might have meant more opportunities etc etc!!)

Still, no-one has ever suggested, despite their positive/negative view of his 'merits' as a scorer that he didn't TRY to score/do his best for City..so on that basis...we should all wish him well..in a new start at Grimsby.

He made 19 appearances for City. I saw most of them. He wasn't good enough. Time to move on.

B0ll0x fella. Yes, he may have made 19 appearances, but how many of those were just 5 mins here and there? How many minutes did he ACTUALLY spend on the pitch? More importantly, how many CONSECUTIVE games did he play for us?
ANY striker would struggle to be consistent with a start here, five mins there and a couple of months not getting off the bench....!

You didn't rate him, fair enough, but lets stop this "FACT" that he isn't good enough to play at this level. Hopefully Grimsby will get promoted and then we will finally be able to judge, once and for all, whether he can cut it at this level...!

Where do I state it is a fact? It is my opinion that he is not good enough and the "fact" that he got so little time in the first team shows what the management and coaching staff thought too. Perhaps I am just more astute than you are at gauging the quality of a player; like Will Atkinson for a start. You slated him after less time on the pitch than Ross has had and YOU WERE WRONG. It is possible that Ross will prove me wrong; i am happy to wait and see. Compare the impact that Ross had in those 19 appearances with the impact that Wells had in the equivalent number of minutes on the pitch. I've seen Hannah play enough to know that i'm pleased he is now a Grimsby player. Next time that you state that a player is good/bad/indifferent I will be happy to quiz you on the number of minutes you have watched them play to form that opinion. As for hoping Grimsby win promotion so that we get to see how he performs in League 2; try reading the response I gave to your brother...where i said exactly the same thing.

Lets put it this way although he doesn't contribute in the same way as Hanson his minutes on the pitch to goals ratio is far better than Hanson!

I am not disputing or questioning his decision, just why some fans have to judge him when we haven't seen him in action that much. If you are good enough in the conference your good enough in league two.

He only ever started four times for city in the league. Twice being subbed and once injured. He has played less than six hours football for city giving him a goal ratio of one goal every two hours of football. That is one goal every game and half roughly speaking. So tell me how many goals per minutes on the pitch is Hanson's strike rate

You're wasting your breath on these lot Bro. Either they are EXTREMELY thick or are arguing for the sake of it.

How many times do you have to spell it out to some of these posters.

YOU havent said Hannah 'is good enough'
YOU haven't said PP is wrong to pick Hanson, Wells and Connell over him
YOU haven't said PP is wrong to release him before giving him a chance.

Why can't these people understand that you (and I) are merely saying that we don't know if he is "good enough" because he didn't get a long enough run. We're not saying he is good enough and dispute the claims by others that they KNOW he isn't good enough..!

If I had a 'head-shake' or 'roll-eyes' smiley, I would use it right now...!

And how the hell do u know he is not good enough when he has never been given a chance idiot.

He made 19 appearances for City. I saw most of them. He wasn't good enough. Time to move on.

B0ll0x fella. Yes, he may have made 19 appearances, but how many of those were just 5 mins here and there? How many minutes did he ACTUALLY spend on the pitch? More importantly, how many CONSECUTIVE games did he play for us? ANY striker would struggle to be consistent with a start here, five mins there and a couple of months not getting off the bench....! You didn't rate him, fair enough, but lets stop this "FACT" that he isn't good enough to play at this level. Hopefully Grimsby will get promoted and then we will finally be able to judge, once and for all, whether he can cut it at this level...!

Lets put it this way although he doesn't contribute in the same way as Hanson his minutes on the pitch to goals ratio is far better than Hanson!

Not for City it isn't.

Work it out yes it is. He scored 3 times in less than six hours on the pitch. What is hanson's ratio. Two goals in last 26 games

He scored 2 league goals for City...Oxford and Morcambe. Only other goal was in Cup vs Wombles. If you include the cup goal though you need to include cup appearances which makes 3 goals in 27 appearances. SO I repeat; "not for City he hasn't". Still don't get where you and Waynus believe he just hasn't had any chances. Perhaps if you went to more games you would realise he has had plenty of opportunities and just hasn't done enough to earn more time on the pitch.

Your a right Rodney trotter you aren't you. So when you count his appearances six minutes here or ten minutes there is a full game and therefore a chance. He played less than six hours football for city whether he had 27 matches ir not. He was only on the pitch for less than four games in total. If you want to put the two jpt games in alongside the ten minutes in the capitol one then he still played only six full games in terms of minutes on the pitch giving him 3 goals in nine hours of football,which is still a better strike rate than Hanson

We can all have an opinion macca. If you think Hannah is good enough for league 2 then fair enough.

I'm all for opinions and I'm not saying he will score loads just he never got the chance.

Only thing I'm knocking is why people have to knock the guy when he has less than six hours football to prove his worth. Why do people on here think the conference is so poor.

Macca. Ho much time do you think PP should allow a player to prove his worth. PP knows more than we do; sees him every day in training, has seen him play friendlies and reserve fixtures i.e. the man who makes the decisions has seen vastly more than six hours. As a result of what he has seen; he does not think it is worth risking his own job by giving Ross more 1st team action than he has had. With Wells on 16 for the season Connell on 8 and Hanson on 7; where exactly do you think the opportunity to play Hannah has been? If our top 3 scorers continue in the same vein for the rest of the season then they will have a similar haul between them to a certain Mills, Blake and Beagrie.

But that is not what I am saying. What gets me is that people write him off at this level dissing his abilities. All I am saying is he will score goals at this level in a team set up to play to his strength. Parky has only ever praised the lad has he not, but obviously he sets the team up to play in a style that does not suit Ross, as such he is correct to move him on. I am not disputing or questioning his decision, just why some fans have to judge him when we haven't seen him in action that much. If you are good enough in the conference your good enough in league two.

You're wasting your breath on these lot Bro. Either they are EXTREMELY thick or are arguing for the sake of it. How many times do you have to spell it out to some of these posters. YOU havent said Hannah 'is good enough' YOU haven't said PP is wrong to pick Hanson, Wells and Connell over him YOU haven't said PP is wrong to release him before giving him a chance. Why can't these people understand that you (and I) are merely saying that we don't know if he is "good enough" because he didn't get a long enough run. We're not saying he is good enough and dispute the claims by others that they KNOW he isn't good enough..! If I had a 'head-shake' or 'roll-eyes' smiley, I would use it right now...!

I for one am not disputing that you are not saying that Hannah is a worldbeater. The opinion that he isn't good enough is a response to your assertion that he hasn't had a chance to prove it. 27 appearances in total; even for 10 or 15 minutes a lot of the time is more than enough to show something and a lot more opportunity than many others get. It's also enough to form an opinion. By saying you think he should have had more opportunities then YOU ARE expressing an opinion that he was worthy of more opportunities; or are you just arguing for the sake of it? Seriously Waynus; how quickly did you tell us all that Atkinson wasn't good enough for City...it didn't take 6 hours did it...

As I said earlier, I NEVER did say Atkinson wasn't good enough and challenged you to prove otherwise. I think you will shown to be WRONG!

As for "By saying you think he should have had more opportunities .....". Where did I say he should have been given enough opportunities? I said he HASN'T had enough opportunities to prove either way, but I didn't say he should have had more. These are two very different statements and I thought you were bright enough to understand that???

Wells deserves to start alongside Hanson, thus he is getting the opportunities and rightly so. Hannah hasn't been able to break up that partnership, because Wells' form has been that good, hence he hasn't had as many opportunites.

You still keep referring to his 19 appearnaces, but I asked you a question earlier in this thread. How many minutes on the pitch has Hannah actually had? It's okay saying he had 19 appearances and, (in your view - which you forgot to include), he should have had time to prove his worth. However, many of those 'appearances' were from the bench in the dying moments of games, some times in injury time...!

And don't forget, last season, when he got most of those performances, we, as a team were DIRE. But don't let that FACT deter you from making your "opinion".

Putting Hanson to one side do you think Hannah's 3 goals in 9 hours is enough for us to give him more game time? I'm not being argumentative I just would like to know what you think.

Maybe if you went to more games you would see Hannah was the one on the bench sent on in last five minutes when it had all gone wrong. In fact do you actually know who Ross is or what he looks like? You do sound a very pug headed sort if person who only see's what he wants. To say he had 27 games is a joke, especially when 20 of them were 20 minutes or less. All I wanted to do was get the knockers off his back and give the lad a fair hearing, some people like you are hypocrites, rising to anyone who knocks a player you rate but stand there dissing the abilities of others youtself

It seems that some of us believe he has limitations and the concept of him banging in lots of goals in this division is highly unlikely. No point arguing about the future. You think he will score lots of goals in league football in future...noted. I dont. lets see what happens.BTW good luck to Ross...he deserves success.

I'm all for opinions and I'm not saying he will score loads just he never got the chance. He is a goalscorer and offers little else whereas parky prefers a work horse who scores very little, which is fine as the system with wells getting the goals is working. Only thing I'm knocking is why people have to knock the guy when he has less than six hours football to prove his worth. Why do people on here think the conference is so poor. How many league teams cone straight back? Why do most of the promoted teams always seem to fare well and in recent years finish higher than our team in the league if the gulf is so massive. He will score goals in league two with Grimsby if they are promoted because they will play to his strengths. Parkinson as only ever praised the lad and his attitude

Macca. Ho much time do you think PP should allow a player to prove his worth. PP knows more than we do; sees him every day in training, has seen him play friendlies and reserve fixtures i.e. the man who makes the decisions has seen vastly more than six hours. As a result of what he has seen; he does not think it is worth risking his own job by giving Ross more 1st team action than he has had. With Wells on 16 for the season Connell on 8 and Hanson on 7; where exactly do you think the opportunity to play Hannah has been? If our top 3 scorers continue in the same vein for the rest of the season then they will have a similar haul between them to a certain Mills, Blake and Beagrie.

But that is not what I am saying. What gets me is that people write him off at this level dissing his abilities. All I am saying is he will score goals at this level in a team set up to play to his strength. Parky has only ever praised the lad has he not, but obviously he sets the team up to play in a style that does not suit Ross, as such he is correct to move him on. I am not disputing or questioning his decision, just why some fans have to judge him when we haven't seen him in action that much. If you are good enough in the conference your good enough in league two.

You're wasting your breath on these lot Bro. Either they are EXTREMELY thick or are arguing for the sake of it. How many times do you have to spell it out to some of these posters. YOU havent said Hannah 'is good enough' YOU haven't said PP is wrong to pick Hanson, Wells and Connell over him YOU haven't said PP is wrong to release him before giving him a chance. Why can't these people understand that you (and I) are merely saying that we don't know if he is "good enough" because he didn't get a long enough run. We're not saying he is good enough and dispute the claims by others that they KNOW he isn't good enough..! If I had a 'head-shake' or 'roll-eyes' smiley, I would use it right now...!

I for one am not disputing that you are not saying that Hannah is a worldbeater. The opinion that he isn't good enough is a response to your assertion that he hasn't had a chance to prove it. 27 appearances in total; even for 10 or 15 minutes a lot of the time is more than enough to show something and a lot more opportunity than many others get. It's also enough to form an opinion. By saying you think he should have had more opportunities then YOU ARE expressing an opinion that he was worthy of more opportunities; or are you just arguing for the sake of it? Seriously Waynus; how quickly did you tell us all that Atkinson wasn't good enough for City...it didn't take 6 hours did it...

As I said earlier, I NEVER did say Atkinson wasn't good enough and challenged you to prove otherwise. I think you will shown to be WRONG!

As for "By saying you think he should have had more opportunities .....". Where did I say he should have been given enough opportunities? I said he HASN'T had enough opportunities to prove either way, but I didn't say he should have had more. These are two very different statements and I thought you were bright enough to understand that???

Wells deserves to start alongside Hanson, thus he is getting the opportunities and rightly so. Hannah hasn't been able to break up that partnership, because Wells' form has been that good, hence he hasn't had as many opportunites.

You still keep referring to his 19 appearnaces, but I asked you a question earlier in this thread. How many minutes on the pitch has Hannah actually had? It's okay saying he had 19 appearances and, (in your view - which you forgot to include), he should have had time to prove his worth. However, many of those 'appearances' were from the bench in the dying moments of games, some times in injury time...!

And don't forget, last season, when he got most of those performances, we, as a team were DIRE. But don't let that FACT deter you from making your "opinion".

But last season when we were dire wells broke into the team by coming off the bench and scoring goals and then making himself a first team fixture. Why didn't Hannah do the same?Because IMO he wasn't good enough. Anyway he's gone now and we should look to the future.

Are you for real? I'm not supposed to say I don't think he was good enough but you can. You did mention the word hypocrite didn't you? You do understand the meaning of hypocrisy don't you?

Mickyoi said in his opinion he wasn't good enough not ME. Yes I do understand the word hypocrisy,do you understand the words that you read. Thought not

Good luck Ross, sorry it didnt work out here

But that is the issue. What are you not understanding fella? Does someone need to read it out slowly to you.

Macca hasn't said he thinks Hannah is good enough for league2. If you think he did, can you read it to me. The point Macca (and others) have made is that we DON'T know if he can cut it in League2 and find the comments that he can't a little premature and unfair on the lad.

You then go on to state Macca has said Hannah "will score lots of goals in league football in future". Again, he didn't say that did he! he said he "hoped" Hannah would score goals and shut some of the posters on here up....!

One final point. Parkinson did not rate Syers and always looked to drop him after a poor team performance last season. When Syers opted to move on, to get regular football, PP said he would be able to find a better player with the money (wages). Nobody can argue that Jones & Doyle are quality players, but that does not mean that because PP didn't pick Syers regularly, that he wasn't good enough...! Look how he is doing for Donnie in the league above us.

And how the hell do u know he is not good enough when he has never been given a chance idiot.

He made 19 appearances for City. I saw most of them. He wasn't good enough. Time to move on.

B0ll0x fella. Yes, he may have made 19 appearances, but how many of those were just 5 mins here and there? How many minutes did he ACTUALLY spend on the pitch? More importantly, how many CONSECUTIVE games did he play for us? ANY striker would struggle to be consistent with a start here, five mins there and a couple of months not getting off the bench....! You didn't rate him, fair enough, but lets stop this "FACT" that he isn't good enough to play at this level. Hopefully Grimsby will get promoted and then we will finally be able to judge, once and for all, whether he can cut it at this level...!

Where do I state it is a fact? It is my opinion that he is not good enough and the "fact" that he got so little time in the first team shows what the management and coaching staff thought too. Perhaps I am just more astute than you are at gauging the quality of a player; like Will Atkinson for a start. You slated him after less time on the pitch than Ross has had and YOU WERE WRONG. It is possible that Ross will prove me wrong; i am happy to wait and see. Compare the impact that Ross had in those 19 appearances with the impact that Wells had in the equivalent number of minutes on the pitch. I've seen Hannah play enough to know that i'm pleased he is now a Grimsby player. Next time that you state that a player is good/bad/indifferent I will be happy to quiz you on the number of minutes you have watched them play to form that opinion. As for hoping Grimsby win promotion so that we get to see how he performs in League 2; try reading the response I gave to your brother...where i said exactly the same thing.

WRONG AGAIN FELLA!!! I was one of a minority that actually rated Atkinson. Said so when he signed and continually defended him throughout the season. Have a look back and then you can apologise. As with any player, I may have slated a performance, but I NEVER said he wasn't good enough!!!

As for the fact, it isn't a 'fact' that Hannah isn't good enough and is proven by the amount of time on the pitch. The 'fact' is that Wells (who Hannah was in direct competition with) deserved his place, thus there was no room for Hannah to start. Wells has been excellent, but that doesn't automatically mean that Hannah isn't good enough for League2. He just wasn't good enough to oust Wells.....!

In the above (response) post, you have claimed it is your opinion that Hannah wasn't good enough. However, in your original post, you never mentioned "in your opinion", thus implying it was a fact and not an opinion. Let me remind you what you typed, "He made 19 appearances for City. I saw most of them. He wasn't good enough". NO REFERNCE TO THIS JUST BEING YOUR OPINION...!

I hadn't read any other posts, I simply read the initial one and clicked 'reply'. You may have changed your opinion/quote, but by citing PP's decision not to play him, indicates that that isn't the case.

Wells is a completely different player to Hannah and thus will obviously have chance to make a different kind of impact. Hannah's record isn't much different to Connell's (for example) and I would argue that they have had a similar impact. Are you saying Connell (with his impact vs mins on pitch) is also not good enough...?

He scored 2 league goals for City...Oxford and Morcambe. Only other goal was in Cup vs Wombles. If you include the cup goal though you need to include cup appearances which makes 3 goals in 27 appearances. SO I repeat; "not for City he hasn't".

Still don't get where you and Waynus believe he just hasn't had any chances. Perhaps if you went to more games you would realise he has had plenty of opportunities and just hasn't done enough to earn more time on the pitch.

Your a right Rodney trotter you aren't you. So when you count his appearances six minutes here or ten minutes there is a full game and therefore a chance. He played less than six hours football for city whether he had 27 matches ir not. He was only on the pitch for less than four games in total. If you want to put the two jpt games in alongside the ten minutes in the capitol one then he still played only six full games in terms of minutes on the pitch giving him 3 goals in nine hours of football,which is still a better strike rate than Hanson

Putting Hanson to one side do you think Hannah's 3 goals in 9 hours is enough for us to give him more game time? I'm not being argumentative I just would like to know what you think.

No I don't think of you being argumentative, for the record it isn't a bad return for minutes on the pitch. But and its a big but, the way we as a team play we need more than goals from our strikers. Hanson who is a poor finisher to be fair makes up for that with unbelievable work rate, his physical presence unsettles defenders and tires them. Wells has electric pace which defenders hate and we know he can finish well, also wells works hard harrying the defence. It is a good system which has served us well and I agree with parky that this is our strongest. This season we have added Connell and Thompson who both in fairness offer more than Hannah. So unless we change our style if play to suit Ross it is best to move him on, but my argument was only we have never really been able to see a fully fit Hannah long enough with a few games under his belt to make a fair assessment. Unless like KMC we all watch the reserves every game to evaluate him

Waynus. I assume that you are bright enough to understand that any statement regarding how good a player is can only ever be an opinion. I cannot state as a fact that Ross isnt good enough; it must be an opinion. It should not need referencing as my opinion unless you are a bit slow. Why havent you picked up Macca for stating Ross WILL score goals in this division (twice)....he cannot possibly know this!

. To say he is rubbish at this level just because he doesn't suit or fit into our system is a disgrace. Good luck Ross I hope you get to shut a few up on here but not at our expense I hope

We can all have an opinion macca. If you think Hannah is good enough for league 2 then fair enough. It seems that some of us believe he has limitations and the concept of him banging in lots of goals in this division is highly unlikely. No point arguing about the future. You think he will score lots of goals in league football in future...noted. I dont. lets see what happens.BTW good luck to Ross...he deserves success.

I'm all for opinions and I'm not saying he will score loads just he never got the chance. He is a goalscorer and offers little else whereas parky prefers a work horse who scores very little, which is fine as the system with wells getting the goals is working. Only thing I'm knocking is why people have to knock the guy when he has less than six hours football to prove his worth. Why do people on here think the conference is so poor. How many league teams cone straight back? Why do most of the promoted teams always seem to fare well and in recent years finish higher than our team in the league if the gulf is so massive. He will score goals in league two with Grimsby if they are promoted because they will play to his strengths. Parkinson as only ever praised the lad and his attitude

There you go both out original quotes with me never saying he WILL score loads. Have a good day and lets hope we get three points I'm sure we can agree on that

I do apologise I do say he will and I had meant to have said I think he will should they gain promotion and play too his strengths. Sorry for the confusion after all we both are entitled to opinions. Sometimes the forum is hard to follow in the phone
