re: First Taste Of Action
 

As Burscough game was off today went to watch Southport Vs Eastwood really to watch a couple of ex reds, Toddy playing for Eastwood who we had a quick word with, and a certain Mr Williams in the Southport side to whom (thro a club official) we sent kindest regards from the clayton end lol. Eastwood fans kept asking if he had any good tips dont know where they got that one from honest.

Accrington Stanley v Clitheroe
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g.../clitheroe.gifAccrington Stanley travel to Clitheroe on Tuesday evening in our first pre-season friendly ahead of the 2010/11 campaign, kick off 7.45pm.

Admission for the game has been set at £5 for adults and £2 for concessions. A full strength Stanley side will make the short trip, together with one or two trialists that could soon put pen to paper should they impress. Clitheroe had a good season last year, finishing eighth in the Northern Premier League Division One.

This is the first pre-season match of the week, on Thursday evening we travel to Heswall, kick off 7.00pm.

re: First Taste Of Action
 

Oh well a chance to watch the "New Look" Reds Tonight at least the mind can be focussed on the footballing side of things for a couple of hours instead of what is going on off the field.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

I will be there hehe

Cant wait



:s_aim1::s_aim1::s_aim1:

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:) I'll have some piccys on later from tonights game hopefully :)

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Excellent mab :) Can't wait for some Stanley action again,No radio coverage though tonight i'm guessing

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Not that im awere of madkev:( unless they do up dates on 2BR!!no dout someone will keep everyone in the know from the ground on here:)

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Ill be keeping my eye on here and 2br then:) Hope you get to see a interesting new team and match this evening:mosher:

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

A damp night ,but six goals to cheer 410 supporters up. At three nil down at half time I was suited to see some first teamers on for the second half. Three all was fair, the pies were good.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

is that all that was good?

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Thought coley might have mix it up abit from the start instead of just trialists, leam richards look good when he came on for the second half and jimmy ryan!!a much better second half best to forget about the first half IMHO

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

who actually played, who were the trialists and were any of them any good?

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Who scored i wonder?:confused:

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:) NUMBERS 7 15 10 Look ok sorry no names no team sheet available

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Sunbed Phil got one :D i think two of the trialists got tother two:)

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Numbers 7, 8 and 11, were good, Number 9 was worth another game, but is a bit of a whinger. I'll keep quiet about the rest of the first half team. in the second half the bloke with no number looked capable.
I hope that helps. :)

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

number 3 was crap:(

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Don't beat about the bush Mab, say it as it is :D

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Think I might use this thread for the lottery tomorrow :D

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:s_lol: And so the Stanley train rolls once again, love it! missed this feeling of refreshing a page every few mins:D

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

haha good point Dave.

1st half was a shocker from us, the entire back 4 had nightmares

Ray Putterill looked a decent central midfielder, he went off after about 70 mins (Number 8)
Number 7 also had a half decent game in the middle, sure that was Parkinson???

Agreed Jimmy Ryan and Leam looked a different class when they came on for the 2nd half.

Very entertaining game mind, Ultra's hilarious once again :)

Heswall away anybody???

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Lets hope Dr Beeching isn't about :D

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:) Like we said at the game mick ;):D.... :eek:First half stanley were all over the place and clitheroe deserved to be 3 up at half time,these trialists for stanley did't look like they wanted a contract apart from 2 or 3 of them,our new keeper didn't have the best first half seem 100% better second half.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:pYour on form tonight

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

nice one mab yer learning.:D;)

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

:) Got a good teacher cashy:D:D

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Just got back, was very much a game of two halves! Line-ups are below

Alex Cisak
Ben Hoskin, Danny McDonaugh, Sean Hessey (c), Dermot McCaffrey
Andy Parkinson, Ray Putterell, Michael Byrne, James Bennett
Mark Mango, Vesseko Gramero

2nd half

Leam Richardson, Phil Edwards, Jimmy Ryan, Oliver Devenny, Michael Dukes, Ryan Kendal, Rory Balding all came on. Luke Joyce came on late on.

Players playing 90 mins were Cisak, McCaffrey (I think), Hessey.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Can i ask why Craig Lindfield was absent?:confused:

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Match report - FULL TIME: Clitheroe 3 Accrington Stanley 3 (From Lancashire Telegraph)

The team were all over the place in the first half and looked like they'd never played together ... given that the team was entirely full of triallists (and Cisak), it wasn't surprising!

The introduction of Phil, Jimmy and Leam made all the difference for the second half. With some cohesion to the team, it allowed Ray Putterill to play to his abilities and he was very impressive. If we can sign him, I'd be very happy! Hopefully, his long-term injury problems are behind him.

The forwards in the second half looked promising - and they need to be after we've lost Bobby Grant, Michael Syme, Billy Kee and Gary King! - but they benefitted from having a solid spine to the team, which the forwards in the first half didn't have.

A difficult game in terms of the weather and especially in terms of the pitch ... I thought our pitch had a slope until tonight's game! Hard to judge the triallists in the first half as the team was so disjointed, but plenty to enthuse about the second half.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

Thanks for all the reports guys!!!

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

An evening summed up perfectley by the saying "a game of two halves" first half awful although credit to Clitheroe they played some good football and their number 9 was a livewire creating havoc among the Stanley back four, second half much better performance with the introduction of first teamers added a bit of bite and calmness on the ball that was missing first half.

All in a all a good run out and no doubt a bit of food for thought for Coley & Jimmy who now have some tough descisions to make.

A bit of info on some of the trialists:

Dermot McCaffrey - Dermot McCaffrey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andy Parkinson - Andy Parkinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Jukes - No link I'm afraid. Think he's a striker who was a trainee at Wigan.
Ray Putterill - Ray Putterill
James Bennett - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_B...8footballer%29 (I think! There's a few with that name.)
Oliver Devenney - No link. Released second year scholar from Burnley.
Michael Burns - Michael Burns (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (As with Bennett, there's a few with that name.)
Marc Manga - French striker who was on non-contract terms with Dale last season.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

From playing Football Manager, Ray Puterill is a young winger if I'm correct so sounds like Bobby's potential replacement?

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

I was going to say the same about Puterill.

He played in central mid for us yesterday and looked the part.

As did that striker Ryan Kendall.

Re: First Taste Of Action
 

A few good trialist's on show hope they keep it up over next few games.

Jimmy ryan looked good and i was very impressed with leam in the seccond half hope they do up against better opposition

But at the end of the day stanley were back on and you better have a good excuse if you wernt there.
