Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

I think Hunty is going to be playing in there bit of hieght and if he stays fit could be the answer there also think young Windass shows plenty of promise, my main concern is having someone who knows out to put it in the onion bag.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Hunt has been a right back all of his career.
He is a good right back, especially at this level.
Why waste him in midfield because Joyce isnt up to it?
Has Hunt got the legs to play 40+ games in midfield?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

We have young Buxton also a good right back you have got to try with a small squad to have players who can adapt and be versatile I think hunty has a good footballing brain and Windass has the legs let,s give it a try.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Agree i'm all fer trying that un.:)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Not so Cashy, James has been on radio lancs saying that Brett is injured & we can't sign an injured player so he has told Brett that they will talk again once he is fit.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Any idea what the injury is.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

No, sorry - don't know any details but just thought it explained the delay

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Hamstring i heard. too injury prone these days fer me.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

looking daily for any news on the two lads Wort & Mustoe but even their 'twitter' pages seem to have a news blackout. Struck me that Lee Wort probably needed to catch up fitnesswise, hence being asked to stay on trial another week. JB sure loves to keep us in suspenders - but have total confidence in our man at the helm.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Hamsting......trained with the physio today

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Maybe JB will Stoke us all up tomorrow with a big surprise.......

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

new keeper signed from bolton jay lynch

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Saw him training today looked good but very small

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

he mentions something like that on twitter, belford was'nt that big was he, he's signed for mansfield,

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Another one in, on fishy site now we've signed Jordan Mustoe on an initial short term deal - welcome aboard lad :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Well pleased wi that un,had a very good game at Altringham.:)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Haven't seen him play but going off the Morecambe fan who came on here saying he'd have preferred to sign Mustoe rather than Laurie Wilson he'll do for me as I really rated Laurie when he was here - it was just the injuries that let him down

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Good signing and will put pressure on Lids to perform

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Sounds a great signing :)

Welcome on board young man.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Think he might get a shout against Leeds tomorrow? Personally I think there might be 1 or 2 changes maybe Hatfield and the new lad Alibi might get starts.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Good shout RR,Robs done well in pre-season,but so have Tom and Dean !!
Out of the three,Toms strongest in the air,whist Dean is quicker on the deck,so it's more about the combination rather than who's the better players.
Thought they did ok on Saturday despite being under constant pressure.
Rob on the bench has kept everybody on their toes as he's good enough to step in if anyone dips in form

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Any news on Brett Ormerod yet anybody is he still injured or is he just not going to sign.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Looks like I'm right and your wrong again.
What is it like to ignore reality?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Good question RR, think maybe Dav007's had one too many lemonades tonight.
Sounds to me like we are missing Joycey's steady influencers in midfield - just hope he's back to full fitness soon

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Sorry, that should've read Joycey's steadying influence (singular) - I blame the rosé :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Joyce would not make any difference at all, please point out over the past few years where he has had a consistent influence on games ?
Our midfielder is the worst part of the team last season and so far it's the worst part of the team this season.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

You tell us please DAV your the real expert!!! Thanks for leaving me with an empty seat next to me at the Southend game, I wore my best red dress and my ventriloquists finger was erect all game.

Forgotten the fact that all of our passing moves in the play off season started with Joyce?
Joyce has been asked to be a one man central midfield ever since that season and shouldn't be criticised for successive managers' failure to introduce a ball winner alongside him.
If Procter can still do that job, we should do a straight swap for Naismith.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Probably one of the most accurate observations on this forum for a while.
Joycy was our play-maker and all of a sudden hes the holding/ball winner player.
Proccy used to shield the back four and took a lot of headers,whist joycy made the play,simple but effective.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Absolute rubbish football19.

Joyce has NEVER been a playmaker. His best season was the playoff season when he was the holding midfielder and a certain Jimmy Ryan and Mr Craney where the playmakers.

His strength his breaking the play up and NOT creating it. It always has been, and always will be!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Joyce is a playmaker!!! HAHAHAHAHA

More like a play actor, playacting being a league 2 standard midfielder!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

do shakermaker and football 19 actually watch Stanley?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Smudgie,you really need to get/watch match DVDs of the time we are talking about.
We played 4-2-3-1,with ryan/mcconville/craney i the three.
The centre backs (hessey/sunbeds) split and joycy came short and either half turned or went wide to the fullbacks.
If the opposition went with him the ball went to Ryan who drifted in to were joycy started.
You mention Ryan being the playmaker,the ball had to go through two lines before it got to him!!,indeed,in that team a lot of his good work was in/around the right channel.
The strength of the team was its ability to inter-change together with a decent hold up player (gornell)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Smudgie and Davo singing from the same hymn sheet mmmm !!
i do take in one or two games Davo,as well as watching a lot of other teams as well :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

They dont watch the same game as me, thats for sure. They wernt even at Cheltenham aparently!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

After years of Joyce in our team, how can either of you say he is the answer to our clear midfield problems?

Im not saying he is a bad league 2 player, but we wont be chalenging for the playoffs with Joyce in the team.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

I aint a big Joyce fan, But was he not in the team that did challenge?:confused: And get in the play-offs.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Seeing that the discussion was about Luke Joyce's contribution to the team in his time so far at Stanley, I fail to see the relevance of whether either Shakermaker or Football 19 was at Cheltenham yesterday unless you're trying to play the 'who goes to more games & is therefore a better fan card' which would be childish & pathetic imho

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Smudgie has played that card before,but you can't deny his passion for Acci !!
Davo just likes to go fishing :).

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

The question was too difficult.:D:D:D

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

I just get MASSIVELY frustrated when I know we can play better. Especially as its more or less £20+ to get in everywhere now..... NOT a cheap hobby.
We showed it for 15 minutes at Leeds, 20 minutes on Saturday. I just wish we would show it for 45 at least, to give us a chance!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

luke joyce played over 30 games in the playoff season

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

That fact alone proves beyond doubt, Davo talks nonsense.:D

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Just watched the goals from yesterday and was surprised to say the least !!
Reading the posts from lads who went was not expecting Rob losing his man for the first goal and for me the keeper was at fault for the second.
The lad who scored the winner had his first touch well inside the area.
I know me and Cashy had this debate a week ago,and pointed out his reluctance to come off his line and that's cost us.
From a punt down field your stating position has to be12-18 yards from his goal,if he does that,they don't score !!.
I am surprised as he seems to have a decent kicking game,hope this doesn't get overlooked

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

There's a lot of top class fishing in Sligo.....plenty of Boozers and Bookies also !!!!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Most of Davo's posts prove it, too! :rolleyes:

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

PLEASE EXPLAIN

How does the fact Joyce played 30 games in a season where Stanley made the play offs prove he is any good?
Phil neville has multiple premier league winners medals, CL, etc - being a passenger in a team proves nothing.

Once again, cashman deals in opinions and not facts.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

im not questioning his passion for the club, but his refusal to be constructivly critical of the current playing squad.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

no.
It was a throw away comment made in frustration regarding some of our fans inability to recognise that certain members of our playing squad are not the answer.
Going to games does not make anyone more of a fan that someone who does not.
While it is generally admirable to go to games, it doesnt give you elevated status in my eyes.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Was referring to smudgies passion for the club !!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Davo,why do you have to be "constructively critical" after two games?,the first game we lost to a late penalty and the second a missed penalty cost us a point!.
Your not a secret everton fan are you,they are very bitter fans as well :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Yeh want facts,The facts are simple(A bit like you) yeh said Stanley wont be challenging for the play offs with him in the team. The fact is Stanley got in the play offs with him playing oer 3/4 of the games that season, so the Fact is, as i said Yeh talk Nonsense. I reckon most bar the simpletons can understand the point i'm making.:rolleyes:

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

To be honest Cashy,I don't have a problem with JB trying different things and freshening things up,but in hindsight,I would have stuck with our back four,and not let leeds good movement promote major changes.
In the first game our keeper never made a save (except the pen),despite conceding possession for nearly all the game.
Why change a tried and tested shape/formation?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

i understand the point your maing but I dont accept it.
We got to the playoffs because of other players who have moved onto bigger clubs, not because of Joyce who is still here.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

That may or may not be the case, But yeh said Stanley wont be challenging fer a play off place wi him in the team, But they already have n thats one of those facts yeh were asking fer.:rolleyes:

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Out of our play-off team,only Ryan is playing in league one this season,so what do you consider bigger clubs ?,burton,Shrewsbury ?.
A lot of players went for more money,only Ryan justified it in my opinion.
On a side issue,see big Kayo is not getting a start

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Wrong.
This thread is about the 14/15 squad, not the game vs Cheltenham.

I was making the point that based on the first 3 games, it's clear that Hunt as a CM and having Joyce in the team is not the answer if we want to move forwards as a club.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

RR you need to give him time to construct a reply !!.
Still gutted he questioned whether i actually watched Acci !!!,
Hes shamed me into going Shrewsbury now :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

We'll all be there but will DAV !!!!!

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Back to football matters now !!,we seem to have better shape when we have a tall presence in midfield,Proccy/linganzi/murphy to name a few.
Hunty may or may not be the answer,but its too early to tell as he needs time to adjust as well as the players around him.
For me joycy/windass doesn't work,so we havent got many options

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Have to disagree regarding Hunty, though i was in favour of trying him yon, A player of his pedigree i think would/should adjust very quickly,? The fact he aint to me says he aint suitable yon, so the best option as i see it, is revert him back to full back.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Buxton is an option :)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

He played really well in second half at Leeds in that position i thought.:)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Just got back off my holidays yesterday!......

........What's going on????????????????????

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Isa Procky not signed on with a club? Or is he still at Bury but out of favour?
I agree that we could do with him back here!
:hidewall:

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

........What's going on????????????????????

Just the usual rush to judgement... after two games.;)

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

still not signed with anyone,playing golf at Whalley a lot.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

i cant understand what's happening with Proccy, he's still registered as a Bury player but hasn't been given a squad number.

Whether he is the answer or not I think he should at least be sounded out and given a try

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

He's not in Bury's future plans.....has said he would come back to Stanley in a flash....I'm not sure if he would be the answer + he would have to be very keen as he's on a great wage for playing golf....how can Stanley compete with that?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

May just prefer to play rather that doss? some players do, so worth looking at it i reckon? Perhaps a loan from Bury?

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Regarding bringing Proccy back, perhaps JB is against bringing back players who have left, I will stand being corrected but as he signed any past players. There was a time when the club was like a Merry -Go -Round.
Lets find new players to freshen things up.
Ps Hope Proccy does find a club must be a frustrating time for him

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Tend to agree, Red.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Jay Lynch gone


Jay Lynch Leaves Club - Accrington Stanley FCAccrington Stanley FC

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Feel sorry for the lad personally.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Me too, but people need to go as has been said, wish him well got promise i thought.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Only saw him in the Luton game and didn't seem to do much if anything wrong.

Good Luck to the lad, sure he'll get a chance somewhere.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

If he was non-contract player,then I presume he would only get paid if he played,to be fair he looked a decent prospect,un-lucky in my opinion,hope he goes on to fulfil his potential.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

The lesson I hope Mr.Lynch takes away is to stay away from Twitter. It's aptly named, as it's users eventually reveal themselves to be twits.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

No surprise Alibi went back.

Rather surprised at Muston mind, but by the sounds of it we are absolutely skint...... Again.

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

proccy's wages i think

Re: 2014/15 Squad :)
 

Mustoe wasn,t good enough we are always skint to get any quality in we have to have smaller squad.
