Retained Players....
 

Retained list ? Accrington Stanley

One or two surprises here for me, but got to say a strong Stanley squad....... :)

Re: Retained Players....
 

Aaron Davies should find another league club, he's good enough

Re: Retained Players....
 

Apart from tripping over an exercise bike and cutting his foot then spending rest of season out injured yes he was a good player

Re: Retained Players....
 

Got to be best squad we've ever started a season with, next year could be our year

Re: Retained Players....
 

Two sugars in mine ST06.

Re: Retained Players....
 

would like to see ross sykes play in one of our pre-season friendlies

Re: Retained Players....
 

Great news tho' I guess if a good enough bid comes in for any of these we can still loose them.

So we only need a goalkeeper and an attacking midfielder and we've a cracking first XI.

Any word on the highly rated Ogle?

Re: Retained Players....
 

Great start.
Would be even better if JC manages to retain the services of Rodak, Rodgers & Edwards for another season.

Re: Retained Players....
 

15 potentially staying - way more than we've had in quite a few years, & at least if any of them do get lured away we will get paid for them- really hope though that they all do stay & with a couple of additions the world could be our lobster next season :)

Re: Retained Players....
 

This has to be first season, in my life time anyway that nobody's turned a contract down to join another club

Re: Retained Players....
 

My thought too, Inspector. Is he still a 'yoof' player, anyone?
Otherwise excellent start to next season.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Thats great to hear,thats thanks to our new man A.Holt.Who certainly didn't take the helm to make money outa Stanley, yet cos he dont suit somes line of thought gets criticized,see ive always said all the clowns aint in the circus.:rolleyes:

Re: Retained Players....
 

Haha love it twenty eight - STO6 he's absolutely done you up like a kipper there

Re: Retained Players....
 

I'm sure 28 is Jordan Clarke or his dad

Re: Retained Players....
 

Well if I'm Clicker you've got a sixty year old on the books.
For the ninth million time I'm not his dad.
His dad is called Ian and WAY younger than me.

Re: Retained Players....
 

What did your parent actually name you then twenty eight?

Re: Retained Players....
 

I am in general happy with the list so far. I do wonder what youngsters like Nathan webb must think when they came through the academy and got about 30 mins on the field with the first team against Crew. What sort of message does that send out to academy players? last season we had two good players who never got a look in. I understand they may not be good enough to go into the first team, but surely if the manager and coach think that then why not send them out on loan. This is the bit of the academy promotions that does seem to let the young players down.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Webb did go out on loan

Re: Retained Players....
 

You're wrong, if they aren't good enough why keep them even on small wages?!

Re: Retained Players....
 

Webby hardly do anything hardly when he was at Rammy on loan so how long do we keep a player and hope he turns good?

I'd like to know Coleys ratio of his released players, Who actually went onto better things...

Re: Retained Players....
 

I'm sure Coleman will have some idea of what he's doing when he tries to balance the here and now with the future.

I got frustrated that Boco didn't get a game. had I been the manager I'd have dropped McCarten long ago and had Romy as a regular. Just as well I'm not the gaffer eh? Romy sat on the subs Bench not playing for games on end was a good insurance policy...even though we didn't need it.

Coleman has loads of headaches to contend with. Who gets a game, who does he want to coach, who does he want to put out on loan. I would imagine it's of much harder job than any of us can imagine. There will be collateral damage along the way - whatever way he balances things.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Michael and I have two parents.

Re: Retained Players....
 

So where's news of this signing ?

Re: Retained Players....
 

Next weeks the stock answer.:D

Re: Retained Players....
 

Sure coley said this week unless there is paperwork problems or they could be waiting for a club to release the player

Re: Retained Players....
 

I've heard it's harvey rodgers

Re: Retained Players....
 

Afew rumours its rodak

Re: Retained Players....
 

Can't see that one Fulham would want him south I heard he was going to Wycombe

Re: Retained Players....
 

Why are you his dad?:D

Re: Retained Players....

Anyone else I've missed? Suprised we've had no youth lads Called up like we normally do

Re: Retained Players....
 

Still wondering what's happening with Mr.Ogle. He was warming up at Satanage, did they leave him behind?

Re: Retained Players....
 

Isn't he still youth

Re: Retained Players....
 

I guess.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Baldy, The mcconville interest is genuine

Re: Retained Players....
 

What's Seamus Conneelly's best position these days?
I saw a fair bit of him in the League of Ireland and he seemed to suffer from having to alternate between playing as a holding midfielder or at right full.
Glad to see he's doing well at any rate.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Seamus was always a full back in my eyes from the early days mate. He was very unlucky not to break through at Sheffield United.
These days he is a holding midfielder without a doubt with a defensive mentality but he's getting better at getting forward and I'm hoping for a goals return this season.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Thanks.
That'd be my impression too. He got occasional criticism from some fans at Rovers for passing sideways or back to the centre halves too often, and not getting the head up, but the general consensus was that he was a very solid, if unflashy, player.

Re: Retained Players....
 

he gets criticised by some fans at STANLEY as well for his limited range of passing at times. very average last season but much better the season before.

Re: Retained Players....
 

Still under contract are: Shay McCartan, Matty Pearson, Scott Brown, Aaron Chapman, Seamus Conneely, Billy Kee, Sean McConville, Terry Gornell and Ross Sykes.




Stanley have taken up one-year options on: Jordan Clark, Janoi Donacien, Brayden Shaw, Omar Beckles, Mark Hughes and Rommy Boco.


Even with 15 under contract, we have still lost almost a third......

Re: Retained Players....
 

My opinion is if he plays forward more would be twice the player!! the odd times he has proves the fact to me.

Re: Retained Players....
 

I can't find any news on Janoi's injury, is he fit for saturday?

Re: Retained Players....
 

He is fit :)

Glad to see that the curse of Smudgies avatar has not struck again this season.... ;)

:)
