LEIGHTON McGivern
- Thread starter mab
- Start date
Accy should never have let leighton go,the (football genius)never gave him a chance.
Leighton was a fan favourite but not good enough for league football. Then again most of our squad are non-league standard players. When fit Leighton could do a superb job. Might be worth a punt if we can get him back on the cheap.
I think most of our players have done well who have come up from non-league as goes to show we are still in the league. Yes we aint had the best of seasons and if it was not for the minus points than things would be alot different, but thats why its good every chairman aint like ours
. We will still be in the Football League next year and for many seasons to come.

If Leighton McGivern is that good why is he playing for Waterloo Dock in the Liverpool Combination - about eight leagues below Stanley.
...and nobody wants that.
Oh yes we do!!!
Worse than Lindfield???? The man runs his socks off (Lindfield that is) match in match out, maybe has not got the final touch but he deserves his place for effort alone. We do not have many options at our club due to finances, but there have been much worse than Craig Lindfield at The F.E.S. this season alone. We cannot afford work shy players...
We've had him at the club not once but twice. Neither time was he productive enough, with more cards against his name than goals. What's your reasoning... third time lucky?
With regards to Lindfield, his positioning and work rate are top notch but he has spoons for feet. Simple as.
The main problem with Mangan was not what he did on the pitch, but off it. That's why he's never really settled anywhere.
The goalposts are 2' further apart in the Scouse league, that's why McGivern's scored a few. He couldn't hit a barn door from 5 paces when he was here.

Well I don't think he got enough starts, though I would like to see the stats. He always posed more threat up front than a lot of our recent signings. I would welcome him back, gob and all.
I think Lindfield can do a good job at stanley! He seems to be doing good at the moment! Ok he has not set the world on fire goal wise but he certinaly runs into space and onto mullins passes, never stops working! What we going to do when Mullin hangs up his boots? Who is going to come in and replace him becuase they will have a job feeling the gap that Mullin plays now.
In 77 appearances (collectively, including his loan spell here) he scored 10 goals. 14 of those appearances were starts, so you may have a point there. However I do believe he has a problem with volatility, and is not productive enough in front of goal to make up for it. Especially in the league.
