Sousa doesn’t get much game time, even when he comes on it’s like 15 minutes etc, but I can see your point and I would agree that what we have isn’t a problem, just thoughts of if Sean/Jordan got injured.

I'm convinced he will be worth a mint if he carries on like he is. dont think we have a more dedicated lad at the club.

No point mentioning the Donacien money because I doubt we got paid a fee when it converted to a loan.

That money i believe paid for the Wham Stadium, if thats correct, to me that came first.

Agree, Cashy. Also hope some of it is going into the training ground.
Unless i’m not remembering correctly, I thought Jackson and Donacien didn’t go until this season had started anyway. By that time any decent strikers that Stanley could have afforded would have been snapped up.
This isn’t the first time Stanley have had to rebuild a squad twice in a season but, in this League, it seems to be proving a bit more critical.

I can’t see any investment in permanent signings which means back to the loan system.
I would prefer it if we stuck to five which means there are 3 vacancies assuming Connor and Daniel stay.
I hope two of those are forwards.
The third the left back from Newcastle.
Time for Ben and/or Ross to step up.

There could also be free agents out there or players coming to the end of contracts who could come for free, personally I think we need a left back striker and a solid midfield type not easily bossed off the ball.

If we look at teams in our league who are doing well, they all have pace going forward. Selling Jackson robbed us of this and we are obviously missing that element of what made us successful last season. If I recall, Jackson signed for Ipswich on deadline day which gave Coley no time to get a replacement in.

For me, we need a forward with real pace who’s also a goal threat - easier said than done - as I think that’s a key ingredient of a playing style that suits the other players in our squad. Another Jimmy Dunne at centre half wouldn’t go amiss either! Agree with 28 that any additions of this quality to squad in this window likely to be loan signings

Starting to worry over Ripley now.
Rumour mill saying two Championship clubs interested.
Barlaser deal done.
Roll on Feb.

Poor Connor Hall getting grief from Bolton fans and had to issue an apology for a tweet Saturday.
Could that play in to our hands and he ends up staying ?

So why not jut say it, instead of talking in anagrams ?!?

smudgie · 03-01-2019, 20:56

So can we confirm Platt, Hall, Anderton and Ikewhe have all gone ???

Anderton & Platt yes, as far as I know Hall & Ihekwe haven't been confirmed as going yet - their loans are up but it said this morning Coley is still working on trying to extend them
