If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

Listen to Coley in this video from two minutes in...

A fully fit Ian Craney; the best player in League 2?

I was a big advocate for him being voted player of the year last season after his contributions and I still believe he was the catalyst to get us into the play-offs. However, I know this quote from Coley will raise a few eyebrows and start a few keys bashing. Discuss!

p.s. Loving these one-a-day videos on the Stanley youtube channel. Great work Dan.

I agree wi coley, simple as.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

Not Craney's biggest fan by a long shot but I would agree a fully fit on form Craney is up there with the best in this league.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

No doubt at all. Total agreement with Coley.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

We all agree he is a very good player!


But when is he 100% fit?!?!?! Never!

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

I think most pieces of journalism that looked at the squads for League 2 before the season kicked off picked out Craney as Stanley's key man.

I tend to agree with Shaker that he was the catalyst for the surge in form that resulted in us making the play-offs last season.

This season we have seen fleeting flashes of what he is capable of only.

Over to you messrs Coley & Bell who I am sure will know what we need to get Craney back to his instrumental best.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

technically hes quality,if he could do it consistantly he would be performing at an higher level.
Clever footballer,but his fitness lets him down.
He maybe a player who wont push himself through the pain barrier,i just dont know,but all the quality in yesterdays game came when he was introduced---and he was only on for 10 minutes !!!

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

Very good player

When he can be 100% assed to play!

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

I know he has his critics. But it always seems to me that if Ian Craney plays well. Stanley play well.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

On his day, a top player. Not in the same league as Jimmy Ryan but when hes on form hes quality.

However it is rare he plays well for longer than 3 games, then plays 5 or 6 quiet games after, hopefully yesterdays goal could be a kick start for him..

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

our best player.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

Dont know about best player Dav,but when hes in possession of the ball,he is our most effective player

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

If we're talking about 'when fully fit', surely Coidy is our best player. But Craney is up there, without a doubt.

Re: If Carlsberg made attacking midfielders...
 

would agree Coid is certainly a good un..........but has he ever been fully fit? as i aint seen that i go wi Craney
