Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Good signing,well done everyone.:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Well done Cooky :)

Welcome on board young man :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

The lad says people have told him its a step back, Wi friends like those,who needs enemies?:rolleyes: The lad was in reserves up yon, He will certainly be a first teamer down here, Good to see a kid switched on n got his own mind, Well done young Liddle.;)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

"We brought him in to play left back for us last year ........"

In otherwords, instead of Kevin McIntyre :p

Excellent signing! Welcome back, Michael!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Positive attitude speaks volumes for the lad and also the message the management are getting over to players can't be over emphasised enough.

Quality addition just keep thinking Striker wise but after seeing Marcus Carver in the youth team and then the first team he has the attributes of becoming a good striker and seems to be finding the net pre-season so maybe we already have somebody to step up?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Carver looks a real talent to me.

Was massively impressed with him when he made the two appearances at the end of the season.

Rumour's are he is being watched.............. Hopefully not!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Fully agree on Carver.

However, I do think we still need an experienced striker, who will both help his development and share the responsibility for goals.

Carver looks a much better prospect than Kurtis Guthrie, but it would be a waste if he similarly lost his confidence at the start of the season if the goals weren't coming.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Agree n experienced striker is certainly needed, Also reckon carver is a much better prospect n Kurtis, Though in my opinion he will be unlikely to lose confidence, Reckon his mentality is much stronger n kurtis, only thing concerns me slightly about the kid, is hopefully he can control his temper, i think he can now.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Trialist James Gray looks good he didn't play last night but I spoke to him and he said boss was saving him for Blackburn game could be a good prospect see how he goes on in next few games, he sounds confident enough, but not cocky

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

That sounds promising to me.:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

yes I agree Cashy we could hve found a gem, but we have been playing against poor oposition, maybe will show more on Sat against better team.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Noticed that various triallists and first team squad members are following each other on Twitter.

Not much clue as to what's happening but one of the recent Tweets from a triallist was "Decision".

Adam Rundle tipped Ryan Hopper for a great future.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

After today would love to see Eckersley and Rundle added to the squad !

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Interesting on Brian Smikle Brian Smikle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plenty of experience which showed with his control

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Not convinced by Smickle..........Yet.

Great to score against Blackburn though.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I think the club should be congratulated on finding a pair of socks that reached Bohan's knees :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

The bloke is a mountain !

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Thought it was a good display, Toto n defence i thought were huge, a very pleasing afternoon.:) was good also someone had the common sense to allow stanley fans in clayton end, smacked to me of a desperate attempt to right a stupid decision, am sure it put quite a few off coming today, Hope whomever came up wi that idea, get there arse kicked n it never happens again.:eek:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Got to say, even though I couldn't be at the match, a crowd of just shy of 1900 for the Stanley v Rovers match for a pre-season was not too good and as you rightly say, the segregation that was put out probably put a lot of folk off, even though the club put out that there was no segregation on the day (a bit too late in my book). Maybe the new team are on a learning curve and won't make the same mistake again. BTW who DID get the Coppice terrace?

Has anyone published yet what the crowd was for Fleetwood v Blackburn?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

No-one was allocated the other end, was empty, a few did make their way on it as the game progressed.:confused:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Despite the segregation issues that occurred during the week I really enjoyed the day, and im sure the club made a tidy profit.

Shame the two Riot vans where in attendance as no doubt they cost a few quid for the day :(

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

The riot vans n also the gorillas guarding Kean, yeh would have thought Celtic or Rangers were down fer the day.:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Im assuming Rovers must have paid for those, as its nothing really to do with us is it?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Probably they did, but to me its noticeable how pathetic their manager is.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Oh yes he is an absolute clown, no doubt about it.

However the abuse he is getting is sickening.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Personally, I think he's doing a great job. Carry on, Kean! :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

No it's not, Smudgie, he more than deserves everything the fans can throw at him. You obviously aren't up to speed with the full, appalling details of his tenure as Rover's manager. Apart from everything else, the most relevant thing is that he has publicly shafted the fans and he will never, ever, be accepted by the majority of them even if he gets them back to the Premier league, which is about as likely as me being sainted.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would you say...

"Kean im going to murder you and your wife"....... is an acceptable thing to say at a football match?????

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Of course not, but I have heard equally sickening comments from the mouths of certain long established Clayton Enders who are now seen as pillars of Stanley society after attaining respectability. I don't think you can damn the Rovers fans because of a few idiots.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Agree entirely.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

While we are on the subject of Mr Kean I feel I must congratulate the Rovers fans, yes they did give him some but were also goaded into some sort of reaction when the six wise monkeys marched (in step) down the front of the Clayton end if that was not a come on I don,t know what is, I feel they were employed to do a job, the trouble never arose so they tried to incite some and the fans did,nt rise to it WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

That march by the 6 gorillas across the Clayton End, was pathetic n in my view it was only to provoke a reaction,:( Who ever organised security that day from the Stanley side,should be speaking to the Rovers n possibly the police about those clowns. At least then they will have done summat right.:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

You really wonder why a club like Rovers don't see how embarrasing it is to their club, it's pitiful.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

the six were practising for the new village people single out next week

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Does anyone know which if any of the triallists are still in contention for a contract after Saturday?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I dont think everything will be sorted till a few days before the Carlisle game if im honest.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Aidan Chippendale for one, now signed up. But what of the rest?:D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Any one know who Bryan Hughes is 'trialing' with ? and whether Coidy is still proving fitness with us ?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Might have inferred wrong from Tom Eckersley's tweet but I got the impression he thought he might well be signing by the end of this week

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Hopefully today Haggis :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

James Gray and Tom Eckersley are still in contention. They are going on the squad golfing trip.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Cheers Haggis, lets hope we get em.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

James Gray's latest Twitter contributions suggest to me that he is about to sign a one year deal at Stanley.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Heard a strong rumour Carver is going out on loan till xmas.

Strange decision that one, seeing as we are so short up front ??? :S

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

according to the web site youth section danny coid is named as a youth team coach

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Cant see that ddevil????

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Ignore me, just spotted it.

A shame he has had to retire, what a quality player he was.

What an asset to have though :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Warner wants Stanley stay - TEAMtalk | Football | League 2 | Accrington Stanley News Had a good game against the saints and has bags of exsperiance:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Warner would be a good addition imho.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

The most recent story on the fishy uses the expression ".......and with one or two high profile additions in the pipeline this could well be our best season ever!"

Who who who?

Tell tell tell! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Not sure, but I think it is about time that somebody tidied this thread up a bit as we now have some names and numbers ;) :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I've been asked not to say owt until they can check if they can get a kit to fit me :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Just check Wikipedia, I update that :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Yes. Gray was on the trip but hasn't signed yet.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would he be "high profile"? Or "fairly high profile"? :)

Hope he does sign, on what I'm hearing from others ............

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I think we can assume Gray will be signing if he went on the golf trip.

Still looking short up front though, hopefully we can utilise the loan system for that area :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

looks a good player to me,hopfully he can blossom like Gornell did.

A good bunch of young pros is being assembled,hopefully we can hit the ground running.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Agree, think the first game,which is a tough un, should give a good indication, Have to say,this is first pre-season in the league,were i aint been concerned about us staying up.:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

On paper it is a very young squad with smatterings of experience which does worry me but I will also add that there is probably a greater balance in the squad with players who can interchange roles than we have perhaps had in previous seasons.

From the look of pre-season with shape this is now vey much Paul Cooks team and there is a real fluidity through the football I have seen so far but I still worry where the goals will come from up front or we are needing quite a few goals to come from a relatively new midfield which could be a big ask?

Just looking again at the fixture list reminds me what a tough League this is for this season arguably the Club's sternest test since coming back to the Football League.

Whatever it promises to be a roller coaster ride and I wish the Management and players all the best for another good season:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Anyone know who the French dude was that played against St Mirren, he looked to have a few good touches but went off with a knock ??

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Think I heard the name Yannick mentioned.The left back think was Lee Molyneux,but from a removed tweet,'was waiting to see what else turned up'!!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Dunno who he was, but impressed me wi being hard to shove off the ball, Hope the knock aint done fer him.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Looked a good bet to me, but French temperament in a team of several scousers?? Not sure.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Well language won't be a problem, no-one can understand scousers either.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

:) Sheppard Poised For Stanley Loan
ASFC News Story > 4846 on fishy site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Sheppard

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Don't want to appear churlish but, with all due respect to the lad, is this who all the secrecy was about last night? Is he the one who was on his way by plane? Or have we got more good news to look forward to today - not casting any doubts about Karl Shepherd, just not someone I've heard of & it was made to sound like we'd pulled off a real coup :rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Sounds like a pretty good coup to me!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

My thoughts too Accymad never even heard of him, was expecting somebody of more mature years with a wealth of experience with all the fuss being generated last night, but good luck to the lad.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Ditto

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

May just be me, But i suspect theres more to come?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Yes Cashy who's on the plane?
