Re: Former Players!
 

Some of their fans saying he's joined a big club:hehetable

Re: Former Players!
 

Yep & preening themselves cos they've been told both Coley & Fleetwood wanted him & they've beaten us to his signature - bless 'em

Re: Former Players!
 

Marcus Bettinelli has signed a 2 year deal at Chelsea, not sure he'll get much game time & he's so much better than becoming a bench warmer

Re: Former Players!
 

wonder where he will be in the pecking order. 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice. could be a good loanee for someone this season.

Re: Former Players!
 

In the article I read it said he'd be third choice, replacing Willy Caballero

Re: Former Players!
 

Is he in it for the money or bettering his career?

Re: Former Players!
 

funny move for a lad his age. cannot see how it will better his career but will increase his bank balance. a couple of years as a 3rd choice people will forget he ever existed.

Re: Former Players!
 

So what might motivate a player like him to choose to sign with Chelsea as the backup to the backup? As he tells the Chelsea official website in his first interview, it’s partly the challenge of competing against internationals, partly the opportunity to be a part of a big team playing for big trophies, and partly the potential benefits for his future career, be that at Chelsea or elsewhere.

“I’m excited to work with those two top-class goalkeepers and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from them both. One of the biggest reasons for joining Chelsea is I’ve still got a lot to give. I’m only young in terms of a goalkeeper’s point of view so the fact I can learn from two keepers that have done so much in the game already even though they’re still quite young, really excites me. I know the coaching staff and the club has a pedigree of top goalkeepers so I can’t wait to be a part of that.”

Re: Former Players!
 

Missed the pay rise out then good luck to lad was brilliant at Stanley just hope he gets game time sometime because he,s to good for warming a bench.

Re: Former Players!
 

Total appearances in 9 years at Fulham 120 averages out at 13 a season plus his loan appearances.

Re: Former Players!
 

13 clean sheets in Championship last season that's what got him the move.
All these big clubs only interested in stats.

Re: Former Players!
 

They aren't " big clubs " just clubs with plenty of money to throw about like confetti ��

Re: Former Players!
 

always find that clean sheet keepers stat does not tell the full story. playing behind a good or bad defence makes the difference in the number of clean sheets you get. says nothing about your ability to cut our crosses and comand the box as well as how good your distribution is. the latter is getting more important in the game.

Re: Former Players!
 

Your right distribution is a big plus with keepers Nathan Baxter was excellent at it best keeper I have personally seen at Stanley. Big hopes for Toby Savin and he,s still learning but for me that's an area of his game that can be worked on and improved.

Re: Former Players!
 

Ok Andy Chelsea are a small club. Check their history out.

Re: Former Players!
 

until recent years they had not won that much. bit of a musical hall joke as well with the old comedians if i remember right.

Re: Former Players!
 

So the definition of a big club is winning things ?
Not in my book.
Poor old Newcastle.

Re: Former Players!
 

My big club is Accy rest are irrelevant. Sorry Bury was a big club for their fans tragedy what happened to them.

Re: Former Players!
 

to me some term a big club by gates i did when i was young.a large fan base dont mean that much if your a big city club.

Re: Former Players!
 

well thats one club that really deserve a milk ad. even swindon town have won something since they did. always gets me when these pundits put the mags in the same league as the manchesters and liverpool in the difficult fixtures to come list.

Re: Former Players!
 

back to reality. seems ben barclay has finally been announced as a stockport county player after these weeks of indecision.

Re: Former Players!

Re: Former Players!

Re: Former Players!
 

Connor Ripley signed for Morecambe

Re: Former Players!
 

I think we have missed out there!:cool:

Re: Former Players!
 

100% right.
I don't know what our strategy is at the moment with the squad I really don't.

Re: Former Players!
 

Sign a six foot six highly rated at Burnley keeper on loan at a fraction of the cost of bringing back a keeper who hasn't actually set the world on fire since he left at a cost we probably can't afford anyway ain't rocket science. Plus hopefully keep hold of Savin as well that's 3 keeper,s just a left sided defender now.

Re: Former Players!
 

Highly rated ?
Who by ?
Owned by Burnley - never played once.
Went on loan to Bolton - never played once.
Went on loan to Carlisle - played once.

Makes Savin look like a veteran.

Re: Former Players!
 

So you're happy with our front line Andy ?

Re: Former Players!
 

Goal difference last season -19 if memory serves me right so defence needs work, Hardy hopefully will be like a new signing Lowe an unknown like Charles and Bishop before him yes happy can always bring a loan in if we needed.

Re: Former Players!
 

Preston fans in the main saying he was worst than awful so maybe we missed out for the best time will tell .

Re: Former Players!
 

Rumours about Shaun Whalley returning for a second spell although now 34 he could well provide a more than useful addition to the squad with his vast experience at this level still a very good player a lot of Shrewsbury fans disappointed by his release.

Re: Former Players!
 

Ben Barclay gone to Carlisle on a season long loan from Stockport.

Still has two years left on his contract but clearly not wanted in SK1 and the loan appears to be a way of keeping everybody happy.

Re: Former Players!
 

Zaine Francis Angol moved from Hartlepool to Oldham.

Re: Former Players!
 

Big game for Ross Sykes tonight at Ibrox.

Re: Former Players!

Nice to see this postive story about an ex-player

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62980534

Re: Former Players!
 

A number of former players are involved in 3rd qualifying round matches on Saturday. Two, for starters...

Lewis Gilboy has scored a few for Bury this season, including two against Lancaster in last week's second qualifying round replay: https://buryafc.uk/match/51450-bury-...ancaster-city/; and four, and an assist, at Padiham earlier in the season: https://buryafc.uk/match/47478-padiham-v-bury-afc/. They're away at Clitheroe.

Billy Kee has been coming on as a sub in recent matches. Coalville have beaten Shepshed and Macclesfield in the cup so far, and are at home to Sudbury.

Re: Former Players!
 

Good to see Billy playing again. I'd read that he was taking a break the game again over the summer.

Re: Former Players!
 

Billy Kee came on as a late sub as Coalville Town beat Notts County 3-2 away in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup in front of a crowd of 5,060, with 1,397 away supporters.

Re: Former Players!
 

Liam Richardson sacked by Wigan three weeks after signing a new three year deal, maybe it read three week contract.

Re: Former Players!
 

…..With a THREE YEAR pay off?:confused:

Re: Former Players!
 

Bright lad Liam. I always liked him, both as a player and manager at Stanley. Not the most gifted player but a whole hearted full throttle left back. As a rookie manager at Stanley he managed to keep us up when all looked lost that season. Glad he's got a good payoff. Did OK at Wigan as well. Yes he had money to spend but that can have its drawbacks as it attracts players with big ego's. He's not popular with everyone on here because oh his connection's with Paul Cook, but you sometimes have to take your opportunities when they come along in the merry-go-round of football and football management. Good luck to him!

Re: Former Players!
 

Not good news. He impressed me as a left back in the 2018-19 season.

So sorry to hear of Nick’s serious illness.

Re: Former Players!
 

I noticed in the Gallery following the recent Stanley v Oxford match a couple of photographs of Phil using crutches. I don’t know the details of his recent health issues but it was great to see him with a big smile on his face.😃 Wishing Phil a very very Happy Christmas and also for him to make a full recovery…….Phil was AWESOME for the Stanley and he also had a spell at Oxford. I am sure everyone wishes him a full recovery.:wub:

Re: Former Players!
 

Phil EDWARDS I was referring to, by the way.
:jimbo::jimbo::jimbo:

Re: Former Players!
 

In the absence of anything more interesting today, Charles, Butcher, Bishop, Windass, and Jackson were all subbed today. Only Charles made it past 70 minutes. Bored….moi? :rolleyes:

Re: Former Players!
 

I missed this in the build-up to Christmas. Paul Cook fielded a number of youngsters in Chesterfield's 3rd round FA Trophy match at home to Billy Kee's Coalville.

Coalville won 3-1, with Kee playing the first 60 minutes.
