N'da

To be fair Ashleys dad, Coleys not gonna just change a defence that won the conference last season, just because theres a new kid on the block,

Not saying Ashleys a bad player but we have only seen him in a couple of Friendlies. whereas Rocky and Welch Played most games together in last seasons team that won the league.

I hope Ashley does push for a First team place, but dont just expect hes gonna be picked because he came on for Welch and has played a few games. :)

Agree totally - I wasn't saying he's worth a first team place now, just that when a vacancy arises, there's other cover as well as N'da.

Going back to the orginal question, all the squad travelled, though obviously not everyone made the team & bench, so I presume N'da was hanging around with the others watching the game
 
I am glad it wasn't just me then wondering why N'da wasn't playing at Chester on Saturday. When I watched them warming up and saw no sign of him, I asked one or two of the other Stanley fans there where he was, but noone seemed to know anything.:confused:

I am not trying to criticise Coley's team selection (I freely admit to knowing little about team tactics and am learning slowly :D ) - but was just intrigued to know why one of our new signings had been left out for the first match.:eek:

Possibly sentimenality - playing Rocky, Procky, Cav and not fully fit Mully in our first game in the league.

John Coleman?
Sentimentality?
Nah.

Rocky & Welchy are a tried and tested championship winning defensive partnership. There was no reason not to play Rocky.
Proc is the hardest working of any of our midfielders form start to finish - and proved himself against Chester.
Cav is such a strong full back against any opposition including higher teams. I've yet to see him turned inside out more than once in a game.
Mullers offers an immense presence & even if he only plays for an hour he will create 90% of our chances around the 18 yard box.

The inclusion of all these players was not sentiment fuelled. They know each other, why field a side that hasnt played together before against a hardened league team?

I have no problem with Rocky starting the season, true he did ok for most of last season but what does worry me that if he has another bad game game Tuesday v Darlington and he is not dropped. As for him being one of the quickest in the squad, that is no use when hes been turned and be time he has realised it he is 5 yards behind play.

Hold on there.
"Another bad game"??
You make it sound like he's been playing bad for a full season! It's been one game - we're allowed a few to settle in right?
If you do want to point the finger at bad performances, what about Gary Roberts & Ian Craney? The pair had an awful day at Chester, should they be dropped because we have Jay Harris & Joel Byrom? Nope - because Gary & Ian are the 'stars of the squad'.
Rocky's never been a star in the team & does have his faults which is why he is playing at this level & not in the Prem.
Give the lad a little bit of slack.

Just being finiky here but wasnt the Chester side on Saturday made up from 10 new summer signings???

Jimbo T :horn8:blower
 
Granted Jimbo, but they are all experienced league players aren't they.
We only have 4 ex-leaguers in the squad.
 
n'da was at the game on saturday...

Lots of comments, but no answer to the original question.

What happened to N'da on Saturday? Was he injured? Nothing on the website yet again. :(
