As McGrail is yet to sign professional forms for the Lilywhites he is still registered as a scholar with North End and therefore what is effectively a one-month loan deal is termed as 'work experience' for the youngster.

Speaking about the deal manager Paul Simpson said: "Chris has worked hard to get himself into the position where he was considered for first team duty for the games against Sunderland. We've got a few players coming back from injury and suspension and a few first team games at Accrington will be of great benefit to him."

McGrail could make his Football League debut as early as Tuesday evening when Stanley tackle Mansfield at the Frazer Eagle Stadium.

Nice start but I think were looking for something longer than a month really

Nope... and it wouldn't be a good idea anyway

For starters, Boco looked bright and fresh, Brown has scored a few in the last few games, and there aint a chance that Coleman will drop Mullin, for obvious reason's.

God know's how p****d off Mangan is at this moment in time

Kiwi John · 16-01-2007, 17:38

Surely he wouldn't come if unless gaurentees were given to him?

Sorry Dan but Mangy brought it on himself by gobbing off at the ref at Bristol. He got his chance to start & cocked it up big style - hopefully he'll learn from it and behave next time he gets the chance to start a game

McGrail looked like greased lightning in his 10 minute appearance. We were all shouting at him to take it into the corner in the last few minutes but he wasn't having any - only one thing in mind for that lad.

He's just like Jay Harris, in Build, height and enthusiasm. He also runs like a greyhound.

Think he actually beats anyone for enthusiasm, he was taking on himself at one point

He did look Pretty lively in his 10 mins and might do some good if given a bit longer but don`t forget he`s here for a months "Work experience" and not ours. Lets hope Coley will get as much out of him as he can while he`s here.

Bkless him, when we first got to the ground & the lads were warming up I thought he was the mascot, he's so tiny. But give the lad his due, he was like a little whippet up front - and his grandma & grandad were there to see him play an all, they must've been really proud
