New Keeper

i would have thought we should of signed him on a 3month loan so he is there untill kennedy is back
 
yes there is, it went on literally two minutes after he signed the loan form. the news appeared on the bbc website before he signed on loan, we only put the news on when it has happened.
 
And that, Rob, is the only policy to have. Report the facts as and when they happen; leave the rumours and speculation to the BBC....they're very good at that sort of thing.
 
Welcome Mr Ickemmy

You have joined the "undisputed king of non -league" club. Enjoy you're time in Accrington but unfortunatley "Afrikas" nightclub is no more...................

You could go in the Railway or the Spread after a game.................

Did we not have a reserve or youth team keeper we could have used??? if so why didnt we then it means we are not mixing up the squad to much. I dont reckon that all these loan players here and there is doing good for the overall squad morall. As it would make it impossible for the squad players to gian a first team place!!!

I've seen a lot of reserves games over the last three years , and I've been excited by one or two new players . . but unfortunately goalkeepers have been as rare as rocking-horse droppings. Danny Alcock is the exception. He's always impressed when he's appeared at the Gt. Harwood Showground , and I'm delighted that he's now showing what he's capable of in the Stanley's 1st team.

So you don't get many goalkeepers of that quality coming up through the ranks, and that's why I believe our signing of Ikeme is very opportune.

Like other contributors to this thread, I'm generally suspicious of the proliferation of "on-loan" players ; I've seen it become the downfall of Halifax Town, for example.

This is different. You have to grab a good goalie when you can, and I'm sure that this is the right move for Stanley at this time.

Let's all welcome the lad at the earliest opportunity.

Strange for Danny, though, that he's the elder statesman already !
 
Stanleyman seems to be right (that's a first!) a youth team keeper would be a good idea except the fact he may not hack the pressure that may be placed on him. Stanley can gain promotion if they seriously tighten the defence up and a young 'un may get stick if he can't make the grade from the start. Loan players though are a good thing, they can add a bit of extra quality to a squad if the nimbers are low. As for moral, a fresh face can add a bit of energy. Players already in the squad shouldn't assume they can stroll in the team in someone's long term absence. A loan signing adds more pressure making players work harder for a place.
