I WRITE in total disagreement to Mark Strange's letter (Evening Press, Thursday, January 5).

The main reason why York City are where they are in the Conference is because they are relying on one man - Emmanuel Panther.

It seems coincidental that while Panther was injured, the team failed to win a game and on his return against Scarborough, in which he was lucky not to get sent off straight away, the team claimed their first win.

Another reason is the team's physical style adopted this season as shown in recent weeks.

So, Mr Strange, I would agree with Scarborough manager Neil Redfearn's comments that City rely on one player and as certain Premiership managers know, you can't rely on one player.
