Latest addition to the squad.

Webber Signs For Stanley

ASFC News Story > 5512

Chubbyman 26-07-2013 15:44
Re: The new squad
 
I think this is a major signing for Stanley.He held his own against Everton and should make a huge contribution at league 2 level.This is obviously only made possible by being a mate of James Beattie,who is setting a fantastic foundation for the forthcoming season,never mind the play-offs automatic promotion is a definite possibility.Lets hope!!!

Great signing, Great Credit to J.B. nowt else to say.;):)

Re: The new squad
 
Another quality signing.....The pieces of the jigsaw are slotting into place nicely!!!:D

As a footnote.....interesting to note that No's 8 & 11 are yet to be filled....more signings on the way?????:confused:

I wonder if there's any life left in the Naismith situation??? Will Mingoia be one of those to fill one of the vacant sqaud numbers????:confused:

FrankMoody 26-07-2013 16:15
Re: The new squad
 
Great signing, the JB effect proving very useful. Think him and Gray will make a decent partnership

Re: The new squad
 
Intrigued now as to who 8 and 11 will be!

Chubbyman 26-07-2013 17:52
Re: The new squad
 
Could it be Mingoia and what would be fantastic is Naismith coming back to Stanley on a season long loan deal,apparently a strong possibility ,hope the rumours true,if not in the wind why haven't 8 @ 11 been issued so close to the start of the season!

Can't see that as Beattie only intends to turn out in an emergency,and his tie and hair would go skew-whiff.

Re: The new squad
 
The reason I suggested a bit of intrigue as to the lack of a No 8 or No 11 is that you wouldn't normally reserve such a squad number for a loan signing???:confused:

Personally, I think we're still a good couple of signings away from a side that will worry the sides chasing automatic promotion, but I think we're assembling a side that is more likely will mount a challenge for a top 12 / play off spot than struggle at the wrong end:o

But I dare say, the fans of the other 23 teams in this league and all the critics have a different opinion.:o

The aim of Beattie, his backroom team and all the lads who pull on the shirt will be to prove them all wrong.......

I've got a growing feeling of confidence that they will !!!!:)

Chubbyman 27-07-2013 23:01
Re: The new squad
 
What about Karlton Watson?Apparently he's signing ,what squad no. Surely not 8 or 11.Still fancy Naismith coming on a season loan deal!!!

Pendle Red 28-07-2013 00:04
Re: The new squad
 
Today what was so apparent was the lack of a midfield dominator of the ilk of Linganzi out of the players who have moved on this Summer he is the one we will miss the most.

A natural ball winner & the ability to spray the ball about from the middle of the park, there are players within the squad who I think could do a job but whether they could do it game in game out I am not sure?

Exile on Spencer St 28-07-2013 07:22
Re: The new squad
 
Didn't see the Barrow game (lucky me, by the sound of it) but the absence of a midfielder like Linganzi was also evident against Oldham. But then, Linganzi was a one-off. I'm no expert but, without someone who can win the ball off opponents (like Linganzi using guile or Proctor using arms and legs) Joyce doesn't always cut it. If given time and space, Joyce can do well, but, in League 2, the only space is on the terraces, not on the pitch. I hope the 'long ball' reference in Mr Beattie's post match interview is not an acknowledgement of the apparent lack of a midfield powerhouse.

Chubbyman 28-07-2013 16:46
Re: The new squad
 
I didn't see the Barrow game due to a golf comp.but it sounded horrendous,I hope and think this is just a blip,it sounded like the pitch was terrible so that's not helpful to a team trying to play football along the ground.I can't see Beattie opting to play the long ball all the time as some quality football has been played by Stanley recently.Given time Watson could develop into a Linganzi type player,but have Stanley the time?As I keep harping on about there's still the loan market and surely Beattie has got some cards up his sleeve ,I think there are some pleasant surprises coming our way!!!!

Re: The new squad
 
Agreed with most of the above points.

Central midfielder and a number 1 keeper are the priorities I hope. :)

Re: The new squad
 
Watsons a centre-back so I can't see him filling the Linganzi roll.He had horrendous injury problems in his late teens and hasn't broke any pots since.
IMHO toto was a better prospect,but that's history now,if the lad gets a chance.i hope he takes it.

Webber and Gray will bang plenty in between them when they get into the swing of things,plus Webbers not done much for quite awhile and has a lot more improvement and sharpness to come!!!

Re: The new squad
 
Bavs is a great shot stopper made some ridiculously good saves but sometimes his positioning gets him into trouble, as for the team assembled this season the pre-season friendlies mean nothing, the opening games in the League will judge how good or bad the team is,
our top goal scorers from last season Amond, Boco & Molyneux have all gone,
my opinion (defence stronger) (midfield weaker) (attack weaker)

I'd expect any 'keeper above North West Counties level to be a decent shot stopper. It's the ability to do the other things that makes a 'keeper any good.

hope your correct Webber looks useful but Gray & Carver were available last season, last season Boco scored 10 Amond scored 9 moly scored 8

Will the defence be stronger??,assuming Rob has to start,his last loan spell read 12 league games,3 wins and we conceded 22 goals !!,hope things improve !!!, Think Aldred is the key to us defending well,If he carries on from last season,then we have a good base

Both are more mature,fitter and stronger now especially Carver hopefully going to be a real handful for many a defence(especially Chesterfield)

Pendle Red 28-07-2013 20:24
Re: The new squad
 
Only time will tell if the squad assembled will be good enough?

I think it has plenty of experience within it players that can rotate positions, maybe looking for more goals from midfield this season than previous seasons but again there are goals within the team & have no qualms about the back four or the Stopper.

The first two games will give us a very good indication of where we are at Saturday will be a difficult away trip to Newport County with nearly a full house roaring them on followed up by the visit of Pompey in front of the Sky Cameras against most people's pre season favourites to bounce straight back up.

FrankMoody 28-07-2013 20:57
Re: The new squad
 
Looking at last season's stats we've lost about 2/3 of our goals, so I think it is an issue and I don't think the current squad has enough goals in it.

I do think Webber and Gray will make a good strike force IF they get the right service - to feet or in behind and crosses from wide. If we resort to the route 1 tactics we employed yesterday we'll really struggle.

Hopefully JB can pull in a couple of decent loan signings

Re: The new squad
 
As an outsider looking in, and i only have the Barrow game to gauge my opinion. But I hope Stanley fans aren't hoping that Webber will be the answer in the goalscoring department. He never got a kick on Saturday and to be honest looked like a player who's confidence had long since left him.

A comment earlier mentioned the pitch as a possible cause of the display. It was hard and dry, but 100% covered in grass. The pitch had nothing to do with it. I also wondered were Dean Winnard was, mainly because I as looking foward to having a pre match pint an a natter with his dad.

That doesn't sound like the Danny Webber I saw in the last 3 games. Hope your lad gets a new start at Barrow. Always rated him highly.

To be honest,i am sat on the fence on this one.
Webber to me would make a good number ten,playing around someone who leads the line,not an out and out striker.
Time will tell,but from what i have seen,we are trying to get him in behind defences by long balls to turn them, rather than posession and slide rule passes.

Agree about Hatfield; for a while under Professor Coleman he seemed not to be in favour (non-Scouser?) but he's a useful player and has popped up with the odd goal.

FrankMoody 29-07-2013 15:50
Re: The new squad
 
The big centre back does look quite useful

I dont think our system at the the moment is anything more complicated than 4-4-2, I think the problem is we havnt got any natural attacking wide players: Hatfield is better in the centre and drifts inside & Wilson is a left back.

Would imagine they would have a look at him and dean together as we have seen all other combinations this season.I expect Acci to offer him something,as he seems to have got over his injury problems and can obviously can play a bit.
Like all young lads he just needs games,just look at Aldred when he got his chance

Re: The new squad
 
There are choices on the Left hand side Liddle & Wilson, on the right side Hunt then from Winnard, Murphy, Hatfield, Windass & probably others, centre defence from Aldred, Watson, Winnard, Atkinson, Murphy & for centre midfield Joyce, Clarke, Murphy, Hatfield, Mingoia, Windass & Miller then up front from Webber, Gray, Carver & McCartan (assuming Watson & Mingoia sign)

So there are plenty of permutations for the positions not quite sure what our starting eleven will be but still depth to change it from the bench if needed and there is certainly plenty of Football League Experience between them all something we may not have had in previous seasons.

On Stanley On:)

Pendle,there are lots of options,but my concern is,out of the four strikers you mentioned,how many league/cup goals have they scored between them over the last 2/3 years ??.
No doubt someone will have the answer,but i suspect,not many !!

I do share your concern but we were not exactly prolific in the striker stakes last season or the season before, I would expect somebody who has played at the highest level however to know what he is doing particularly as he played that role himself.

Thing is though football19, How many clubs in our division have got prolific strikers? not that many i would presume, the goals have to come from everywhere in the main i would presume.:confused: Then again another question is what yeh regard as prolific?, around 20 a season in my view being a goal every other game approx. Also how many of our strikers have remained 2/3 yrs recently?

Re: The new squad
 
You all clearly missed James Beattie on talksport, he was confident and said he would bring in some surprise signings.

Patience.

I thing Beattie will keep us up.
Don't forget, as experienced as James is, it will be a huge learning curve for him this season.
If we survive, next season I think he will move us right up the table.

Its got to be at least a 2-3 year plan for James.
I'm sure he like all of us would love to get near the playoffs this season, and i'm sure he and the players will be trying to (and so they should).
But medium term is where the proof will be if James can learn fast, continue to improve and be visionary about the squad he wants.

He needs to avoid doing a Leam and going on a long barren run. He won get the same excuses about not being his squad, etc.
Although the losing (or no winning) run Leam went on is rare, as not many managers get as long as Leam did.

We will be fine, watch this space.

P.S. I still love John Coleman.

Have never listened to Talksport in me life Davo, don't even know where abouts it is. But i'm as confident as yeh say beats was, It will be a huge learning curve fer the guy, But ive never regarded him as a numpty, so reckon he will learn n do ok.:) By the way i still love Bridgit Bardot, but shes well knackered now pmsl

Re: The new squad
 
I am ever more worried now Davo has adopted a new positive attitude !!.

Was once told (in football circles) dont believe a word anyone tells you until the ink on the contract is dry.

So i will climb back on the my big fence :)

So after all this time we finally get the real identity of DAVO, it's Mrs Coleman :D:D:D:D:D

Weston and Mingoia????

I think Carver is going to be one of stand out players this season. He never stops running. He definitely should be a regular this season, he and Webber would make an interesting pairing indeed.

We don't particularly want an athlete - we want a goal scorer. Akinfenwa barely starts to run but he can score goals.

Probably one the positions we are really lacking as well (assuming you're of an age when u can remember the left winger always wore No 11):)

And behind them were two wing halves, a centre half, two full backs and a custodian :p
