Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis insists Brad Inman can still make it at Gresty Road.
Davis criticised Inman's lack of impact after coming off the bench against Port Vale last month and has said the 22-year-old hasn't been reaching the levels he did two seasons ago, whilst on loan from Newcastle United.
But the Alex boss says that the Australian is still in his thoughts, despite enquiries from clubs to take him on loan.
Davis told The Sentinel: "I met with his agent and we spoke about his involvement. Brad has got to play his way into the team, it's as simple as that.
"He's still in my plans and he needs to have a good week and we will see at the weekend."
