It is a real shame for Stanley that Janoi has gone. At least we now have a management and contract structure that has ensured that we got a half decent fee for the lad.
I have always been impressed with Janoi. I always classed him from the start of his time with us, as very skilful and as a real athlete and he has filled in superbly at left back when really his natural position is right back.
I really hope that he does well at Ipswich and would like to thank him for his sterling work over the last two seasons here at Accrington.

ON STANLEY ON

Agree entirely just thought we could a got a bit more to be honest.

But shouldn't it be spent on bolstering the squad ? Maybe another of Andy's tongue in cheek comments.
I'm sure Janoi's agent has been suitably remunerated by Ipswich.

The Don was indeed a great player and played the game in the right spirit. Ipswich have a bargain.

Still, it's a decent amount of cash for Stanley and the manner in which he has come in, improved and been graciously sold is another advert for young players wanting to improve their careers with Coley and Holt.

Will Richards Everton or Harvey get the chance to replace him? Could they do it or do we need a natural left back?

football19 · 31-07-2018, 18:42

If I was looking for a bargain,then I’d be looking at Toto !!
Best CB I saw in Div one last season and he seems to have curbed his temper !!!

Good luck to Janoi we got an excellent 2 seasons out of the lad my concern now is cover for left back Will Wood is left footed as his Ben Everton but are either a natural full back maybe Coley as his eye on someone also still no sign of a second keeper.

cashman · 31-07-2018, 18:43

If Toto has curbed his temper he would make a damn good CB in my view.

Spot on

Come and play for Stanley, give your all, improve, achieve and we won’t stand in your way

Good luck, Janoi, and thanks for your efforts with Stanley.
Probably not quite ready for League 1 (but what do I know?) but I recall Mr. Wood came in as a left back.

Yes Exile....
Will Wood played against a Rovers XI on Saturday and along with the rest of our boys he did pretty well especially in the first half. . Less so in the second half but the Rovers lads did put us under more pressure as we tried out more fringe players via substitutions. I do remember Janoi's first match for us was not too good but look how he has developed! Yes, Will looks to be a true left footed player and could be the answer to fill in the Number 3 spot.
Let's put our trust in John, Jimmy and Andy.
COME ON STANLEY

I'm not convinced we need to spend large sums of money bolstering the squad. English football is saturated with young former academy players who have been unlucky or lost their way a bit. We have proven time and again that they can thrive at Stanley, I would be looking at this group rather than anyone else.

We did go for a long period without paying any agents fees. Something to aim for.

we have gone down this road for the last few seasons and it has worked. prefer this than throwing money at one player who might or might not come off. plenty of clubs have tried the latter approach and for some have lost their league status.

Twenty Eight · 01-08-2018, 09:33

Agreed ...... but we’re leaving it very late.
You will recall a very talented young group of Everton players coming to the Wham.
Derek Adams at Plymouth has taken 4 of them.
Hopefully Colts had his targets all along and there will be a flurry of activity soon. Just wish any arrivals could have been part of pre season.

Tom D · 01-08-2018, 09:53

Will be very surprised if we don't have any loan players. Can't remember the last season that happened.

Would be great if we could secure Dunne on loan again, but suspect will be sat on bench at burnley with them only having 3 central defenders available.
