Dean winnard
 

I have watched this lad play in our last 2 resrve games........He was absolute class and head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch (including any of the Sundetrland players). Apparently he is being released by Blackburn ( see ling below).

The only downside is he has a trial at Doncaster and I will be amazed if they don't offer him something.

I'm sure Coley will have seen just how good he is........

PLEASE SIGN HIM!!!!

Some of the Burnley youth players have not been given a pro contract and are getting released! On the Burnley forum they are saying that one of the lads who didnt get a contract should of and its another lose like Chris Turner when they let him go and now he playing brilliantly with us.

Re: Dean winnard
 

Presumably you mean Dan Brown ?

The problem with kids of that age and may have been the case with Chris Turner is that they have to show the potential at the time the decisions are being made, and with any 16 yr old in any walk of life some take a bit longer to learn than others.

Sometimes the knock back may just make them try a bit harder. I suspect a lot of the young kids think because they have been signed on youth terms they have made it, far from it, very few actually do make it.

In some ways it's harder for people like Adam Kay who was given his first contract as a pro yet not had a chance becasue of the successful season at Burnley. How the eck are you supposed to impress the boss in those circumstances ? It's one of the reasons they go out on loan but of course the recent run Stanley have had means he hasn't had a chance there yet either.

Does anybody know if the Stanley youth team have anybody likely to stay on ?

Re: Dean winnard
 

Yeh i do mean him alot of people on the forum seem to rate him highly! I have not seen him play as i aint Burnley Fan just i look on thier forum now and again and know a few people who say he is a very good player and they where gutted when he did not get a Pro contract. Proberly the people who were on the bench the past couple of weeks will get them!

Re: Dean winnard
 

I would say Alan Burton is in line to stay.......Burey also (although he hasn't impressed me) and possibly Adam Strode.

Dean Winnard today signed for Stanley. See fishy site Accrington Stanley

Re: Dean winnard
 

Lets hope that Jiffy Bag is a good scout as it was on his recommendation that Coley signed him ;):)

Re: Dean winnard
 

The only two from the youth who are staying is Alan Burton and Bee Ami. Bevan Burey was told in May that he was not being offered a contract (I personally think this is a mistake as he looked useful to me, but what do I know!) as for Adam I am not sure.

Re: Dean winnard
 

Winnard looks a useful player, but he's only 5' 9" and we all know the size of the strikers in League 2. However, Phil Edwards isn't the biggest of players, but he still wins the majority of headers.

If Winnard has the footballing brain of Edwards then we're on to a winner.

Re: Dean winnard
 

Target men in the oppo penalty area at corners are only useful when the corner taker can put it on their nut!!!! And consistantly too.

Re: Dean winnard
 

Is Coley shrinking then? :confused:

Re: Dean winnard
 

I believe Kieran Charnock is 5' 11'.

Re: Dean winnard
 

He's stood on a box there. ;)

Although not at Peterborough - Peterborough United | Team | First Team | Kieran Charnock

You may be right, it works wonders for Willie Carson and Nicholas Sarkosy,
does it affect his mobility, though? ;)
