The new squad
 

Having watched both friendlies recently, I have got to say how impressed I am with the current fitness of the squad,and the total professionalism with the new set up.James Beattie is proving to be a real revelation and has obviously the respect of not only the squad but the whole Accrington Stanley organization.I can only see great things coming from this.......LETS HOPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good, Chubbyman, from what you say and what my mate, Mr Cashman has told me. Not seen 'em in action yet, but looking forward to Alty on Saturday!

Re: The new squad
 

Have to say the most positive pre-season ive seen,very optimistic.:)

Re: The new squad
 

Not the greatest performance today at Altringham,but another example of fantastic fitness and conditioning.A better second half showing,just a bit of fine tuning required.it's going to be tough on James Beattie on who to offer contracts ,all trialists showed potential.I think James Beattie is showing great maturity as the manager,hard to believe he's never managed a league game yet.Real excitement building at the possible prospects this season!

Re: The new squad
 

Yes, I agree.:mosher:

James Beattie is indeed looking the part as our new young manager. I like the way he talks on match interviews with his emphasis on values such as; players having good manners, working as a team, showing good fitness especially in the current hot conditions,:hothothot and players ringing him up wanting to come and play for the Stanley!:love:

Also, he dresses professionally on match days, speaks with eloquence, commom sense and realistically. Hence he is setting a professional standard to the players and the rest of the staff.

Good luck James and to the squad and staff.
I really do hope that we get off to a good start to what could be a very promising season. ON STANLEY ON.:wave8:

Fantastic News - Makings of a brilliant squad.

We look rock-solid at the back.

Re: The new squad
 

Brilliant news :D

I'm thought that his wages at Fleetwood were a reason we wouldn't be in the market for him. It says a lot about James Beattie as a manager that he can attract such a good player given our meagre wage fund.

Re: The new squad
 

Well pleased, was very hard to keep stum.:D

Re: The new squad
 

Great, great news. I'm not bothered about missing out on Hughes now!

Re: The new squad
