The new squad
Having watched both friendlies recently, I have got to say how impressed I am with the current fitness of the squad,and the total professionalism with the new set up.James Beattie is proving to be a real revelation and has obviously the respect of not only the squad but the whole Accrington Stanley organization.I can only see great things coming from this.......LETS HOPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The new squad
Sounds good, Chubbyman, from what you say and what my mate, Mr Cashman has told me. Not seen 'em in action yet, but looking forward to Alty on Saturday!
|
Re: The new squad
Have to say the most positive pre-season ive seen,very optimistic.:)
|
Re: The new squad
Not the greatest performance today at Altringham,but another example of fantastic fitness and conditioning.A better second half showing,just a bit of fine tuning required.it's going to be tough on James Beattie on who to offer contracts ,all trialists showed potential.I think James Beattie is showing great maturity as the manager,hard to believe he's never managed a league game yet.Real excitement building at the possible prospects this season!
|
Re: The new squad
Yes, I agree.:mosher:
James Beattie is indeed looking the part as our new young manager. I like the way he talks on match interviews with his emphasis on values such as; players having good manners, working as a team, showing good fitness especially in the current hot conditions,:hothothot and players ringing him up wanting to come and play for the Stanley!:love: Also, he dresses professionally on match days, speaks with eloquence, commom sense and realistically. Hence he is setting a professional standard to the players and the rest of the staff. Good luck James and to the squad and staff. I really do hope that we get off to a good start to what could be a very promising season. ON STANLEY ON.:wave8: |

Re: The new squad
Fantastic News - Makings of a brilliant squad.
We look rock-solid at the back. |
Re: The new squad
Brilliant news :D
I'm thought that his wages at Fleetwood were a reason we wouldn't be in the market for him. It says a lot about James Beattie as a manager that he can attract such a good player given our meagre wage fund. |
Re: The new squad
Well pleased, was very hard to keep stum.:D
|
Re: The new squad
Great, great news. I'm not bothered about missing out on Hughes now!

What a back line we have now :)
Signing of the summer for me :) |
Re: The new squad
Thought Rob had been recalled by Fleetwood before the gaffer came to play ? Anyhow, well done JB for bringing Rob back. Only saw him once down south somewhere but saw enough to be disappointed when he was recalled to Codtown. I wonder if Dean will start at LB if Rob and Tom are to be the central pairing ?
Waiting not too patiently for news of wing/attack signings - pre-season can be tough on us Stanley nuts, can't it lads 'n lasses ? |

Deano, Tommo, Robbo, Nicko, Merfo, and Liddle Michael, I can honestly think of few better back lines in our league. Good signing Mr Beatts

Re: The new squad
beattie made his debut against barnet as a sub, which rob atkinson played at centre half

Billy Liddell last played fer Liverpool on August 31st 1960.;) his 537 appearance which was a record at the time, Ian Callahan went on to beat it later.;)

Re: The new squad
If reading between the lines is a reality and we sign Webber,Naismith,Windass and mingoia we have a very well knit and exciting squad with huge potential.James Beattie is certainly giving his all for Stanley and the loan market isn't even open yet what's James going to pull out of the hat then.Thank you James for the hope you have given this town. PS Marcus Carver player of the year????

Starting eleven is reasonable,but injuries etc..will kill our squad. In reality we have lost; Jeffers Beattie Linganzi Moly bocco Rachubka Barnett Linney Bohan Eckersley Chippendale And at present only Atkinson has come in. Last seasons numbers only just avoided relegation,and although sometimes a shake-up does the club good,i feel were well down on squad strength. Maybe i have my negative head on,but a lot of good players have flew the nest !!. |
Re: The new squad
James Beattie will come up with some great and surprising loan deals,so full strength squad !!! Watch this space!!!
|
Re: The new squad
looking at that list football19 you would only be looking at the top six to be in a matchday squad, the other would only be making up the numbers during the season
|
Re: The new squad
Also McCarten has been added, plus whoever beats adds before the season kicks off, if some of those trialists are signed, i fail to see why yer concerned Football19?:confused: The present defence to me is as good as ive seen at Stanley n the defence is always the starting point (or should be imho):confused:
|
Re: The new squad
the problem with last years squad was that we had a good few who never got a look at the team as we had a largish squad. If the quality is there with the fewer players then at least they'll all get a decent rotation. We can't legislate for injuries or suspensions so that's where the loan system will need to be utilised but otherwise we've got a decent squad. I'm not getting carried away with it although the defence does look tight this year.

Re: The new squad

Although the defence looks sound enough,but its more or less last years players. In midfield is hadfield better that Bocco,is Naismih better than moly,Is murph more effective than Linganzi. Up top will Webber replace Jeffers/Beattie,will the young Burnleys lad be as effective as Podge??. Still think we need at least four quality players to push on and better last seasons finish |

Re: The new squad
Beattie has been impressive so far.
Of course, the real test will come over the next 9 months when he will need to prove his tactical and man management ability, but so far so good. He deserves our trust and time. |
Re: The new squad
After watching the team in a few friendlies I have to say I am impressed with the players who we have at the minute. I would be happy if we signed Windass, Webber and Naismith. Webber would be a good replacement for Beattie and his experience would be useful to help develop Shay and Marcus.
I have a real positive feeling about the season coming up |
Re: The new squad
I would have thought JB will register himself - as a useful impact sub at the very least, especially if we've got a winger who can sling in a few crosses ....
|
Re: The new squad
Happy that the general consensus is positive, we, who can't be there rely on you to keep us in the picture. Sounds like the new boss is building a quality squad. Looking forward to Tuesdays game, one of the lads on our team here is a nutty Oldham fan. I was at Liverpool to watch Liddle beat Stanley in '56, another great memory.
|
Re: The new squad
Got to agree with most comments with all the games seen so far, the squad if you include Webber & Naismith is virtually there which takes us to seventeen in numbers.
I would think ideally twenty is the number to be at with perhaps a few loanees making up the numbers there is always the balance of the budget to take into account. Goals were always my biggest worry in terms of what we have lost but I have seen enough to convince me there are goals all over this squad. |

Hopefully JB's contacts and use of the loan market can plug the gap |
Re: The new squad
My own thoughts are whilst i was a big Bocco fan, Webber will more n adequately replace him.:)

Did Rob Atkinson have a trial with Snakeville?Can't understand why they didn't offer him terms it can't have been money,just another gaff by the squeaky voiced Google Page Ranking'ck.

Re: The new squad
The guy who we had on loan last season, from Watford was a very useful player, he turned out fer last 20 mins or so on sat, he would be a good addition also i reckon, think his name is Mingola or summat.:)
|
Re: The new squad
The only thing to say is Boco's wages must be a lot cheaper than Webber's.
I would suspect Webber wants a pretty penny. |

Re: The new squad
Well I havent made any of the friendlies yet due to work, though I will be at Barrow on Saturday, lucky me.
But in my opinion and by all reports we have a fantastic looking squad for this time in the calendar. Add Windass, Webber & Naismith and maybe a couple of loans and we have the looks of a good squad. I seem to remember after the playoff season having around 2 players signed up, how times change eh ;) |

A good display by the team last night Webber looked impressive but what the squad is missing a Linganzi style confident power house in midfield
|
Re: The new squad
I was well impressed wi Webber @ Gray together, first time ive seen that pairing, like to see it from the start, think thats the one.:)
|
Re: The new squad
Quote:
I think the problem he had, especially from January onwards was that we had Moly in his position. But I agree, to play only 4 games and be released is pretty harsh. Maybe there was something more too it...... |
Re: The new squad
Shame about Naismith, but as JB and PS have said, he is still contracted to Rangers for next season, therefore they will want a fee for his services.
|
Re: The new squad
Maybe he's returned to Rangers so that he can come back on a season long loan deal? Wishful thinking. ;)
|
Re: The new squad
That's my hope too. Not sure if it's wishful thinking or not.

Re: The new squad
Quote:
I agree, we lack some metal in central midfield. I'm also not overly confident on having no experienced reserve keeper should Dunbavin get an injury. Maybe Beattie would utilise the loan system if that did happen? |
Re: The new squad
I think it was always going to be Naismith OR Webber depending who wanted the most cash for being here. Webber's age means that we would unlikely get any sell on fee for him whereas Naismith we might. On the other hand it may also mean that we get to keep hold of him for the remainder of his career. If he's as good as his pedigree says then I'd take that.
|
Re: The new squad
I would say we need a number 1 keeper Dav to be honest !!
|
Re: The new squad
Does nobody think its time to give young Dawber a chance to stake his claim for the number one jersey.Dunbavin is a great shot stopper but game after game I'm forever cringing as he anchors himself to the goal line,I'm sure the goal conceded tally would fall if he came off his line and challenged for more crosses!!Dunbavin is a great keeper but I wonder if a better one is sat on the bench!!!!!!

Re: The new squad
over his last 79 games almost 1 in 3 games has produced a clean sheet ...

Re: The new squad
Bit harsh Revived !, the oxford game was always going to be a damp squid,and I felt for young Dawber.My only moan at Bav is he loves to kick the ball (probably one of the best at the club!),were young Dawber always looks to throw it first.
How many times do you see Bav catch the ball and race to the edge of the area for a quick throw?? |
Re: The new squad
From my viewpoint thought dawber did ok at Nelson n Darren, would have liked to have seen him given 45 mins against one of the Div1 clubs.
|
Re: The new squad
[QUOTE=Revived Red;1068217]On the evidence of his 45 minute cameo appearance in the Oxford game, absolutely not. He should be loaned out to get real match practice.[/QUOTE
I haven't seen much of him, but in the Man U cup game last season he didn't impress me. Got caught out by high balls, but maybe he's grown since then! |

"I was excited tonight to see Roberts and Morsey playing and also Jimmy Ryan who I had ranked 3rd of the 3 signings in my mind. Sorry but Jimmy Ryan has the ability of Phil Robinson combined with the drive of Shaun Parrish. It was an absolute pleasure to see someone apply themselves with such a committed and quality performance. How the hell was he at Accrington? He's got heart, technique, crazy tough tackling, vision, a powerful shot....he's like steven gerrard when he was good on acid. I literally think this lad is the bees knees. Best centre mid to pull on a blue shirt since clingan." Chesterffield fans creaming themselves about Jimmy! |
