I would play The Don on the right, instead of Clark and Gibson at LB

I'll get the 'I was there when Janoi scored' t-shirts ready

Not been impressed by Gibson with what I've seen....
Good decision I think to only sign on loan when Newcastle were happy for it be permanent..

Have to 'bulk' out the squad I guess. Need cover for injuries/suspensions - no point signing players who will sulk at not getting game time.
Only 2 I can really think of who haven't had any opportunity - Erico & Danny Williams

plus andy mangan before he left. i know he did some coaching but its 3 wages paid for what. might have been better used to pay 1 player a good wage who might actually feature in the first team.

Would mean taking someone out of the first team who would be on a 'good wage'
We have been extremely lucky in terms of injuries - I can't think of many serious injuries over last few years that have ruled key players out.

Think of our recruitment as well from Coley's perspective - he wants players who are happy to be here regardless. I believe we kept Danny Williams on this season purely to add experience to the players who aren't featuring/on the bench to add his perspective on their up coming careers.
Interesting piece on the BBC site about Rob Green and 'life as a 3rd choice keeper'
Charlie Rowan didn't play once for us last season when he joined us on loan, but said he 'absolutely loved every single minute' of being a part of the team.

Trivia question.
When was the last time Accrington fielded a starting 11 with less than two loanees on the team sheet ?
Its not a sarcastic comment by the way but cant think of a time when I've been watching when that happened.

Lemur · 28-03-2019, 14:36

first game of the season 28 none

Twenty Eight · 28-03-2019, 18:14

Great knowledge Lemur. I'd forgotten Anderton and Ripley weren't in at the start of the season.

His major downfall is his positional play.
If he's 1 on 1 with a defender on the edge of the box, you'd fancy him to beat his man and stick it in the goal.
Apart from that, I've not really seen him contribute much else.

Happy for him to completely prove me wrong over next few games...
Just can't see him getting the opportunity.

Thats a shame, from the small cameos ive seen he had the x factor, and seemed to have reasonable technique and touch. Perhaps another Mekhi McLeod? One never knows though, every player seems to have that great month that they dine out on for years!

Even though he don't look ready for this level of football. IMO.

Sykes is back from injury so if picked Harvey could move to the right with Callum in front of him on that flank I would go with Dimitar in goal and put Smyth back alongside Billy as for midfield not sure what the best option is and I,m not sure Coley knows either.

coley might know who he would like in the side but this season so many have had erratic form you do not really know what you are going to get from one match to another.

Don't think Armstrong is either.

Billy & Smyth best duo.
Zanzala gives us something a little different off the bench.
Armstrong too similar to Connor Hall in my opinion.

McLeod was never going to make it playing League football unfortunately.
Showed little glimpses here and there but nothing consistent. Not physical enough for League 1 or 2 either.

Was it last season one game where he ended up playing left wing?!?
