James Gale signs new contract

[Johnny H]

Really pleased about this....this lad can earn the club some money....if only Clough would bloody use him !!

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Good to see him staying. Surely Nigel must see his potential to have offered a new contract.

He needs more minutes on the pitch and will hopefully get them here rather than going out on loan.

[bigalstag1]

Play him then.

You would hope the club themselves would be tying up these kind of deals no matter who the manager was.

Where’s laps new contract got too

[scotsstag]

Onwards and upwards young chap..

[wayno cordiniho]

Would like to see him get 10/20 mins now and again at least. Definitely got something about him

[gazza1988]

He will continue to get 10-20 mins until Oates returns. Then I think he will be sent on loan with a 24 hour loan recall until the end of the season, hopefully at a national league side.

Just a guess. Basically the same as knowles just minus the injury.

I hope you are wrong on this one Gazza as James Gale is twice the player Jimmy is.
I think he could break into the team and get a good run if given the chance/opportunity through an injury etc.

The problem is that that situation has already occured and he hasn't yet had his chance.

When has he had 10 - 20 minutes since Oates was out?

[arsene wengers coat]

I'm yet to see what this lads about.

Clough reckons blooding a youngster is letting JJoT have 15 minutes at the end of the match.

[geoffhill]

Patiene people.He will get a chance when Nigel thinks he's ready.

[Now in America]

Hi James we like what we see, work hard at it as you look to have a good chance.
You could not be in better care than with the current Mansfield set-up. All the best.

Who?

[MTFCMusings]

Fourteen minutes of league football this season.

[part time pete]

Fourteen minutes of league football this season.

Gaza’s 10 to 20 minutes is about right then

[gazza1988]

Fourteen minutes of league football this season.

Is that including stoppage time in games?

20 minutes was a tad optimistic.

Still the point has been proven so far. Oates back in the squad and Gale is dropped.

No I don’t think it does. Using Martins match reports I believe an extra 19 mins including stoppage time, so 33 in total from 4 appearances.
