Triallists
 

Information on the squad playing in the Joma tournament here: Stanley squad to take shape (From Lancashire Telegraph)

To summarise the situation re: triallists ...

Six players taken to Devon:

Sean Hessey (central defence)
Andy Parkinson (wing)
Ray Putterill (central midfield)
Rory Boulding (forward)
Jon Bateson (full back)
Michael Jukes (midfield)

Players no longer required:

Ben Hoskin
Danny McDonough
Dermot McCaffrey
James Bennett
Oliver Devenney
Michael Burns
Marc Manga
Vessoko Gramero
Ryan Kendall


Bateson didn't play in the Clitheroe game, but the other five looked good enough and I'm particularly pleased that we have a chance of signing Ray Putterill (but will Coley drop Proccy to accomodate him?).

I didn't go to the Heswell game, but from the nine players released, I thought Ryan Kendall looked a good, strong striker against Clitheroe and Ben Hoskin can clearly play at this level, but Jon Bateson (ex-Bradford) as been retained as the right full-back.

We still only have two forwards, discounting wingers.

Any thoughts from those who went to Heswell?

Re: Triallists
 

Interesting article to read, impling that even if we do not sort the embargo we can still sign players - so why the embargo?? 9 more ready to sign, so that would be the likes of Bavs, McConville, Winnard and Co. Leam still training with the club - so will he be staying???

Just hope that Coley can perform some miracles with the likes of Hessey and Parkinson!!!

Re: Triallists
 

Boulding has a Wikipedia page as may have been mentioned elsewhere on these threads:

Rory Boulding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Re: Triallists
 

Putterill and Parkinson looked the stand out players.

Fingers crossed we can get them

Re: Triallists
 

Im presuming we will be utilising the loan market to compensate the small squad?

Re: Triallists
 

"Implying" being the operative word, mate! The article uses that catch-all phrase "it is understood" so it's by no means certain that they'll grant us dispensation. After all, if the LT have their facts right, we will be asking for dispensation to register 16+ players! Even if they do, I would imagine it'll be temporary and they sure as hell won't be fobbed off with vague promises like "in a couple of weeks"! :eek:

Re: Triallists
 

unless i'm going senile it was "understood" just days before court that everything would be sorted!! n but fer the timely appearance of I.K. n P.M. that morning it woulda been, we would have NO CLUB. How much more of this crap do they expect people to tolerate?:mad:

Re: Triallists
 

surely Hoskin and Deveney clearly could have played a part at league two level.

Re: Triallists
 

I must admit I also found that a bit odd certainly with Ben:confused:

Re: Triallists
 

I believe Ben Hoskin was offered a deal but he chose not to accept it

Re: Triallists
 

Looks like Leam will only stay if the Club offer him a fixed-term contract, rather than the existing pay-as-you-play offer.

Richardson keen to stay at Accrington Stanley (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Triallists
 

would hope he stays if a 12 months contract can be offered him.

Re: Triallists
 

As much as I like Leam, we have not had much return from him in the last 2 seasons, pay as you play can be the only way forward for Stanley, we cannot afford any more passangers!!

Re: Triallists
 

Don't think there's much danger of that Val, we can hardly fill a Mini at the mo. :)

Re: Triallists
 

I can't imagine Ben demanded the earth so can only guess it was a poor offer.

Re: Triallists
 

My pre occupation would be getting a big striker in rather than defence. Think Rotherham's Drewe Broughton may have become available. Not sure if he still is.

Re: Triallists
 

Thought jon Bateson was very good tonight,composed on the ball and defended well.He slotted into the right back position with ease and can play centre back.
He played rb at blackburn and played with Deano for years,dont think he had a fair crack at Bradford ( there captain was rb )
Although Tom Lees played well last year,i always rated Bateson a better player.
Jimmy Ryan against Blackpool was different class and some of the football played ( on the deck ) was brilliant , hope they play Linfield up front on his own as the three midfielders plus mc conville love to attack

Re: Triallists
 

Re: Triallists
 

There in lies one of the problems in that McConville will be tried in most forward positions to be accomodated, I think he will go on to be a decent player but we already have a competent tried & tested natural right winger when he gets a chance:(

Re: Triallists
 

If you was at the game , acci played a 4 - 1 -4 -1 system where proctor sat in allowing the four midfielders to interchange , ryan was popping up everywhere, left,right,centre to blame mc conville for anything is unfair, look at the amount of chances and corners created against a prem team who have a good work ethic

Re: Triallists
 

Re: Triallists
 

its hard to remember him doing any of those things........all last season.:D:rolleyes:

Re: Triallists
 

Nice to see Coley trying out a new formation. Maybe he's trying to reign Proccy in a little bit by giving him a holding midfield role? (Seeing as his vision of him as a box-to-box, Gerrard-esque midfielder didn't work out as well as hoped last season). Andy Procter - Great Harwood's Makelele :)

Re: Triallists
 

I know a Bradford fan at work who rates Bateson a decent player.

Re: Triallists
 

mc conville is never going to be a "hard" player,but technically he is one of the best,i will put my head on the block and say i predict him to have a good season , ps trust me Bateson is a top player !!!! so is Ray "razor" putrill,who is a tough cookie

Re: Triallists
 

sincerly hope yer right, but just fer chance, can i have yer ties.:D
