I would say there is a 0% chance of us getting Johnstone. He has already been on loan to Oldham and Scunthorpe and after Ben Amos has been loaned to Hull City for the season he will be Man U's 3rd choice this season.

"That's a compliment for us as a club and our players and tells you how well our opponents thought we did in the game.

maybe if yer man was as complimentary as it sounds then he should think about sending a few David Beckhams our way now and then. The season that Bury went up was largely thanks to Ajose up front, who was on loan from United. We'll have that Andy Cole fella please

Good point.

Would be nice to see a young lad from those Giants round the M60 pull on a proper red & white shirt

Good game to watch first half in partcular we had the better chances but for some good saves we could have been a couple of goals to the good, interesting to see Lee Molyneaux up against Bebe pretty much kept Bebe in his pocket and managed to break forward down the left to link up play a very tidy player and loks a threat from a dead ball situation.

Enjoyed the game,and the players gave it a real go,but it was obvious most had never played 4-2-3-1 and got picked off by utd time and time again.
At times we looked like we were playing 4-1-1-4,and against good players,it maybe entertaining but suicidal.
Our holding players were dragged everywhere and young Hopper must have thought utd had 15 men!!.
Indeed,utd attacked in the first half and molyneaux had 4 men bearing down on him(agree with Google Page Ranking he looked very good).
The game was a good learning curve for the players and will have learned a lot,so credit must go to Cooky for resisting the temptation to play more first team players.
Wouldnt have brought on Toto tho,and although booked,he could have easily been sent off,made no sense considering his lack of discipline!!!.
I think our players would have taken more out the game than theres,which is a positive

cashman · 10-08-2012, 08:10

Agree about toto, unless i'm wrong he has now picked up 2 bookings in what i regard as practice games.

Don't doubt his potential, But thats gonna be wasted unless he learns to control himself a bit. Moleneaux looks very useful,

football19 · 10-08-2012, 09:13

Would love to see Molyneaux at Acci but cant see it.
Most of our team havent experienced a decent wage(football wise),and he has, it may come as a shock if a contract is offered !!!,
Collecting trollies at Asda and playing part-time would double whats being paid LOL

.
Suspect thats whats happened with the keeper ---but its refreshing to know our players are young and hungry and not Big time Charlies!!!

Toto is a good guy to have on your side in a battle, but he can't keep going to war against opponents and referees. He's going to be suspended for more games than he's available for if he doesn't learn to put a lid on his aggression!

smudgie · 10-08-2012, 14:33

Agreed 100% about Toto, the lad has come on leaps and bounds since those nightmare 5 first games he had for us.

IF the inevitable does happen and he does get suspended, with the likes of Tom Eckersley waiting in the wings, he will have to watch his back.
