Everton Match Thread

Are we good enough for promotion evidence suggests even though only friendly,s maybe not in 180 minutes we have,nt scored from open play same problem as last season, to me a 15/20 goal a season man is a must if your going to be among the Pacesetter's and go up, also has others have mentioned a keeper in the Rodak mould is a must. Hope I,m wrong of course young Jackson looks like he has pace to burn but will he be played as a striker only if John goes for 4-4-2 and me thinks not.

thats what pre season is all about. would love a new keeper in and someone else up front as we,re bare bones at the moment there. no panic yet but the clock is ticking. could be like bowyer at blackpool said last week about players financial demands.

I was there and have commented earlier. However I am still a Donacien fan, I do think he needs to be playing much further up. He can put balls in to the strikers with pin point accuracy at pace, Yet he is playing as a wing back defender. I think Coley needs to have a good think about playing to strengths. The big player on trial was not quite the finished article he drifted out to the wing where he should have stayed centre. He was a good target man but his final finish is rusty. More games will see a massive improvement. Billy needs someone to run off him as he does not have the pace at this time. There is a lot to be confident about this season, we do need a couple of additions like a keeper and a striker. Our Captain was quiet yesterday maybe we need a talker. I am not enthused by the segregation nonsense in the last two games. A complete waste of time. I hope we can sort this out before the Preston Game. I am happy to say we don't have a violence problem at Stanley and we don't want one.

Glad to hear it as well.

I personally enjoy the varied opinions offered on the games. I'm guilty of only seeing the pace and feel of the game as I'm usually too busy trying to make some noise! The insight offered by agents/scouts/dads is most welcome to me as it is 'educational' sometimes.

Having said that, it can be boring if they bang on about the same player being brilliant when clearly he wasnt! F19 was guilty of this with unswerving defence of Dean Winnard, but his other offerings made up for it.

I also enjoy reading between the lines for snippets of gossip from the training ground ...

Well seens as nobody's allowed an opinion id say it was starting to become a dictatorship, not every agent is in it for the money, some just do it for the feeing when you see one of your lads doing well

Everyones allowed an opinion, even liars so yer ok.
 
Know a lot of agents,some personally,and can honestly say it's a business to them and it is about making money,hence the players enter into a contract with them.
Nothing wrong with that,but they soon drift away if their "player"doesn't get a contract.
As a player,it's easy to represent yourself as the PFA offer great/free advise.
It's when the player excels that the agents come into their own with various sponsorships etc..

My Beef about the segregation is that it was not necessary, When you consider the sports bar was open to all I could not see the need. We are lucky enough not to have a violence problem at Stanley. It was a good game with a lot to take in. Friendlies to me are just a game to cast an eye on new signings and potentials. I also like to see how the tactics of the manager is working. My opinion is just that an opinion. John Coleman probably couldn't give two hoots as to what I think but he has the final say. Segregation is a retrograde step in my opinion. If there was intelligence to suggest otherwise there would no objection from me. Stanley is a family friendly club which is a big part of it's attraction. It was an observation I made and I mentioned it to the club , It was not a complaint as such but some people seem to respond without trying to understand the point. They immediately go on the defence and try to find a rule to justify an action. It may seem trivial and to a point it is. I personally like to sit in my season ticket seat as that is where I feel I can see the game better. We had away fans sitting next to us last season with no bother at all. That is why I don't see the need for it. No big deal.

I wasn't even aware of this ! I sat at the "away" end in the main stand first half then moved to the "home" end second.
 
Are Jackson and Scicluna still with us anyone just they weren't in the picture of the lads training on Pendle hill.
 
John Coleman confirmed earlier #asfc are in talks to sign the trialist forward who played last 2 games. He's contracted to a club
 
I didn't go to the Huddersfield game. If there was segregation at the Everton game it failed miserably. Plenty of home fans in the main stand towards the away end.

The stewards stopped me and others, It was a shame but no big deal. It did prove unnecessary. That is the bit that makes you proud to be a Stanley supporter.
 
I can understand why segregation was in place.
That Alan Stubbs is a proper hooligan .............
God hes clapped the weight on.
