From what I've seen of GP so far, he seems keen on 2 things; a tight defense that involves every player taking a responsibility, and also, that he likes players who can be adaptable.
That leaves the question of where and how does Ryan fit in to GP's thinking? Well, only GP can answer that, but we do know a few things: Ryan is out of contract in May, the club is up to the buffers on the wage cap, GP likes players who can defend as well as attack, players with a bit of pace, and preferably not too diddy!
In my view this means that Ryan is probably going to go. I don't think he has shown GP enough to get in the team ahead of Luke, Granty, Langmead or even Darbs (who we know has been told he can go), and he seems to like the option of Mossy or Edwards on the right as they both are better defensively than Ryan and have scored more goals. I think GP is holding out for a good cash offer for Darbs and Ryan so that he has room to manoeuvre both in terms of the wage cap, and financially.
Interestingly, on Radio Shroppo last night, he said he wouldn't rule out a player of 35/6, if he thought he would bring quality to the side - that brings a lot of players at higher clubs who are struggling with 1st team places into the equation.

I heard mention that Dario Gradi was at Gigg Lane last night - wonder if he was checking up on young Luke?

According to Gerry and Andy on shrewsWEB last night, half the managers from the bottom two leagues were at Gigg Lane, plus Dario Gradi Were they checking players out or decided to go instead of been stuck infront of the TV watching CSI with the missus.
