Rumour - Cedwyn Scott to Carlisle?

[Fan of Big Tone 𝕏 @mainstandpie]

Rumour has it that Cedwyn Scott has been seen training with Carlisle. Anyone else heard this?

I haven't heard it on the Darmstadt grapevine but I wouldn't be surprised as he needs regular games. He's also been conspicuously missing from the squad recently. However, I'd expect us to sign at least one striker before he's allowed to go.

It would be a shame to lose another of our promotion heroes, but a move might be best for both sides. The jury's still out as to whether he's really up to League Two, but he's definitely worth a punt from Carlisle's point of view.

It's just a rumour as far as I can see.

I think that it is going to be hard for Cedwyn to get a first eleven spot unless there are injuries.

No one will ever forget Cedwyn's role in getting Notts out of the National League to where Notts are today.

Cedwyn needs regular football time & if these rumours turn out to be true, I say good luck to him if he does leave Notts.

The situation with Cedwyn is very strange, I've heard a few rumours but not that he's been training with Carlisle. I'm not sure if he would be allowed considering he is contracted to us, it would be very strange if true. That's not to say he might not end up there now the window is open.

He needs the game time and Carlisle aren't exactly a rival. Might not be the confidence boost he needs though as they don't exactly create tons of chances, their current top scorer Armstrong only has 3 goals...

My dad has told me he saw on Facebook that he was seen with a Carlisle top on. As far as I'm concerned he is still a pie until the club make a statement and at the moment it's just rumours

Football wouldn't be the same without wild rumours and people spreading stories. There might be some truth in it, but until there's something concrete, it should just be treated as a rumour.

As for Cedwyn Scott leaving, it depends on whose decision it is. If Scott wants to leave, it's disappointing, especially since Notts gave him time off at a crucial stage to cope with his depression. His departure in this scenario would feel like a kick in the teeth. While I would wish him well, it would be disappointing.

If Scott wants more game time, it makes sense, but the timing isn't the best. Being closer to his roots up north might help his mental health. However, there's the question of where he would be better off. Carlisle are in danger of dropping out of the Football League, while Notts are in a good position for promotion to League One. Moving to Carlisle might seem less ambitious, even if he would get more game time.

If Notts want to let him go, I would question their commitment to players' mental health, as it could seem like they are pushing him out because he needs time. It's a bit like when Lee Hughes allegedly handed in a sick note from a doctor when Keith Curle, if I remember correctly, wanted Hughesy out.

The main thing is that there's room for Cedwyn Scott to be a big part of our team, but it's a case of Stuart Maynard playing him in the right position or managing to get the best out of him and Scott putting in an equal amount of effort.

@True Magpie you make some good points about Cedwyn..

I hope that Cedwyn will stay and fight for a place in the side. I know it will be hard with Jatta & Didzy first in the queue.

I would like to know why he isn’t fighting for his place now though? Have we given him Christmas off, is he injured? The fact we’ve had no update always tends to mean people jump to the worst possible outcome, but I don’t want to believe the 'negative' rumours.

We were desperate for some fresh legs upfront yesterday, if he’s fit surely he gets on the bench…
