Defender signed from colchester united

Re: Tom Bender
 

Welcome on board young Tom :)

6ft 3 at 18 years old, !!!

Must have a serious grow bag somewhere ;)

Re: Tom Bender
 

does this signal the end for Kern Miller?

Re: Tom Bender
 

Wonder if he takes free-kicks and corners ? :D

Re: Tom Bender
 

You couldn't make it up could you :)

Re: Tom Bender
 

My elder son is 6' 4" and he is 16.:)

Re: Tom Bender
 

interesting signing !!,gives a bit of competition/cover at left back and centre back.
A bit strange tho as we let go Bateson,Smyth and Owens,who could also play in a couple of positions.
Wish the lad all the best,and hope he doesnt turn out like that 6-3 kid from Everton last year:)

Re: Tom Bender
 

BBC Sports News headline;

"Stanley sign Colchester striker"

Don't you love them .....................:alright:

Re: Tom Bender
 

From what i was told,wouldn't be a big loss.:cool:

Re: Tom Bender
 

:confused: IF YOU THINK THATS STRANGE FROM THE BBC HAVE A GANDER AT THIS ;) BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | A | Accrington | Club Stats :rolleyes:

Re: Tom Bender
 

Hell of a squad we got - 40 players.:eek::rolleyes:

Re: Tom Bender
 

I love that squad list - according to that we've still got a Mullin :)

Re: Tom Bender
 

and a Turner n Putterill.:rolleyes:

Re: Tom Bender
 

Reading the interview on the official site, I like what he has to say. He sounds like he has the right attitude and could be another successful signing, along the lines of Tom Lees. Obviously he'll have a lot to learn, but hopefully everyone will benefit from this move.

Re: Tom Bender
 

Just seen this on BBC's tranfer deadline day ticker :-

1115: THE INSIDER

Down in League Two, Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys tells BBC Sport's Paul Plunkett: "It's going to be a very quiet day. I've told the manager to turn off his phone because he's got enough players. I don't expect any movement … unless Fernando Torres becomes available."

Re: Tom Bender
 

That list also still includes Jamie Speare and Mark King!!! Hmmmm just a touch out of date me thinks!

Re: Tom Bender
 

Bit more from our Rob:

Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys tells BBC Sport's Paul Plunkett that one or two of their players might be available: "Sale - Looking to grab a bargain? We're prepared to accept £1m for any two of our players* Sale ends 11pm tonight. *selected players only."

Timed at 2047

Re: Tom Bender
 

According to the Telegraph, Tom's been included in the Wales U19 squad for 'their trip to Slovenia later this month'.

A little bit of research would have told them that it's for UEFA U19 qualifying matches against Belgium, Scotland and Slovenia. Dates are here: Under-19 - Matches ? UEFA.com

Re: Tom Bender
 

Congratulations to Tom on captaining the Welsh u19s against Belgium on Wednesday. Sadly, they lost 3-0:

Good luck to him for this afternoon's match against Scotland.

Re: Tom Bender
 

Captain again but lost 1-3 to Scotland after taking a 15th minute lead.

Re: Tom Bender
 

I see Mr Bender has been called up for international duty again but isn't able to get a regular slot with Stanley.
Discuss.

Re: Tom Bender
 

I think I'd like to have seen him play more often, especially as Nsiala hasn't set the world alight. But then again Leam and Coley before him see the pair of them more than we do and perhaps think Toto has more pedigree, coming from Everton. I think Leam was happy to go with the side that Coley had picked the previous four games and make as little change as possible, maybe would have changed it round more had he had more games. That would likely be true of Cook for his first game, and only change it round once he's had time to assess things more

Re: Tom Bender
 

Both good players,but i think Toto has a little more physical presence.
I like young Bender and when he fills out,he will go on to have a successful career,good attitude,technique and being left footed always helps.
He could always slot into left back if Kev Mac gets injured,indeed he could play all across the backline.
Like all footballers,take your chance when it comes along !!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

I like Tom alot, think he is a class act.

Whenever I have seen him play he has really looked the part. :)

Burton Away, Oldham home, Carlisle Home he looked great in those games.

Obviously the injury set him back a couple of months, and I would have liked him to come in when Longy left as others have said, Toto has looked abit shaky on occasion.

Here is hoping he can get another chance and cement his place for the rest of the season, as Hessey looks like he wont be back soon :(

Re: Tom Bender
 

Another good lad gone.........................

Re: Tom Bender
 

Only played four times!!!!! Thought he would have been good for Stanley, will be great for somebody!!

GOOD LUCK TOM AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!!!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

Another thing on Bender, Smudgie mate, after Jimmy and now Tom, please choose wisely on your next avatar!!!!!! ;) :) :)

Re: Tom Bender
 

Good Luck for the future Tom:)

Re: Tom Bender
 

All the best Tom

Re: Tom Bender
 

not just to but toto gone to

Re: Tom Bender
 

sorry that not right i will start again not just Tom but Toto has gone back to everton

Re: Tom Bender
 

Gutted to see Tom go really.

Was the man to replace Longy for me.

Few injuries obviously havent helped, but I cant help thinking Colchester got rather annoyed with him warming the bench.

Good luck Tom lad!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

What have I told you about avatars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

What's up with it??

Coidy is mega :)

Re: Tom Bender
 

So were the last two you had.................. Both gone...

Re: Tom Bender
 

Good point actually!

mmmmmm

Re: Tom Bender
 

My last two signatures were Doctor Procter and (sorry Smudgie..) John Miles Barmy Army..Lost them both............................. Also John - KEEP THE FAITH - Coleman... Say no more!! Please pick Burton, Murph, Hatfield or someone like that!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

Ill think about it.

Aparently young Tom has done his hamstring again :(

Not a lucky player this season.!

Re: Tom Bender
 

Shame that, the lad seems a bit injury prone.:eek:

Re: Tom Bender
 

Get Dunbavin as your Avatar Smudgie :D

Re: Tom Bender
 

haha!!!!

Re: Tom Bender
 

What a great Idea.:D:D:D

Re: Tom Bender
 

Yesssss !

Re: Tom Bender
 

I will always remember Tom for dropping everything and driving straight up here when he got to know about Coley's interest, such was his enthusiasm to get first team football. What a shame things didn't work out. From what little I saw of him he looked a real player to me.

Re: Tom Bender
 

I haven't heard that one, but the reason Toto is back at Everton is because he did his hamstring against Crewe on Tuesday night.
Back on subject, GL to Tom - I thought he was a good little player for us, but after the injury, not had much of a go.:)

Re: Tom Bender
 

Nothing official from the club about Toto, but this is his Wiki..........

Re: Tom Bender
 

He said it on his twitter Ozzy.

Must admit I wont lose any sleep with Toto going back ;)
