I know this guy isn't everyone's cup of tea, but IMO he should be starting most games between now and the end of the season.
Yes he's raw and he's far from the finished article (would he be in this league if he wasn't?), but he gives us a different option than all our other strikers and would be the only one with a fighting chance of making something out of our hoofs from the back.
Taylor and Easter received very little service yesterday, but they're just far too similar and we looked powderpuff upfront with that partnership. Lines's set-pieces are crying out for a 6ft forward running onto them.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe our best run this season has come when Blissett was starting regularly with Taylor?
I say it's time to unleash Big Nate again. Blissett-Easter for me on Friday.

Thought we had a Mk2 Devon White but this guy just does not use his physic and strength and height to any good effect.

I think DC will keep it the same but i would defo keep Bliss on the bench along with Ellis ready to unleash both of them when needed. This is the trouble with only being allowed five subs,one space is gone with Mildy that leaves just four places,with Mansell now back ,who is gonna miss out on friday altogether.

When he was signed our manager said he was one for the future and did not want us all getting carried away thinking he was going to be an instant fix for our goal scoring problems. Remember he came from being a part timer to us and still has plenty to learn about the game. He has showed on occasions what he can do and given the right service, something our inferior midfield has failed to do so many times, he I am sure will prove to be a far better player than he appears to be now.

Remember, he may be 24 but this is only his second (?) season as a pro? He's not as developed as most 24 year old pro's are at this stage. With a bit of training he could be a beast.

Would involve dropping Taylor, which along with Monkhouse and Lockyer, he is clearly unwilling to do.

It all depends on how we plan to play. If we are going to play a lot of long ball then Blissett but if we are actually going to get it down and play then Easter and Taylor.

It's well known that I'm a big fan of Taylor but his form and all round play has been very poor for a month. It's time to drop him and give someone else a run.
Harrison and Easter up front for me.

Put him upfront with Easter and play taylor in the hole behind, drop monkhouse and play 3 across the middle (tom, lines, man)

I think he should of started against macs, just seemed like the perfect game for him.
All game we pumped the ball long to Easter and Taylor and we got no where with it! Blisset would of been the better option for those tactics.

Blisset would of been the better option for those tactics. Have to agree with that view, but for the lush grass of the Mem on Friday surely we need to revert back to the Aldershot starting line up with Mansel replacing Lockyer? Then surely Blisset will want to impress back at Aggborough on Monday?

Unfortunately with this league some teams set themselves up to adapt to poor pitches, ie 6ft 5 defenders and hoof ball.

Personally feel that with the way we play Home and Away we need to start with Blissett up front and drop Taylor. Easter needs a big man to feed off and I was amazed that with Macclesfield record at home and two tall centre halves that Blissett didn't start. At the very least it should have been the first substitution as taylor was totally ineffective. I gave Blissett a 5 but I note that some gave him 6's and 7's and some gave him 1,2 or 3!! He certainly splits the supporters but for me should be given a run. I watched the TV recording today having been at the match and for anyone to say he didn't care is nonsence the amount of covering he did in the first half and I felt he should have been kept on because he rarely gives the ball away unlike some out there. I agree with those who say that a winger needs a run of games and I too would use Dave Martin as a good example in that he looked a reasonable player when he came to us but DC seems to have favourites and if you aren't a favourite it is good performance or get dropped. I see Dawson going the same way as Martin and Gosling as well. Taylor, Lockyer and Monkhouse can play poorly and get away with it and this is what I think will cost us winning the league.

Thought he looked the best he has in ages against Macc when he came on. Held the ball well for me and i'd be tempted to chuck him in alongside Easter. In fact, f**k it, 3 up top. But you have to say, it's pretty harsh on Ellis not to start given his return.
