Fleetwood recall Rob Atkinson

Fleetwood Town have recalled centre-back Rob Atkinson from his loan spell at Lancashire neighbours Accrington.

The 25 year old joined Stanley in September and made 13 appearances for the club, the last of which came in the 2-1 loss against Rotherham on Tuesday

Atkinson was part of the Fleetwood team that won promotion to the Football League for the first time last season.

But he will be unable to face Aldershot in the FA Cup on Saturday, having played for Stanley in the first round.

B***er!
 
Agree with that Val,he's a good player,but I don't think we could afford him if he became available,so it was always going to be short term.Need Toto now to raise his game and fill that void
 
He will be missed (thought he'd just had his loan spell extended to January?) but it's now up to Toto and Murphy to step up to the mark. They are both well capable of doing the job for Stanley as a CB pairing.
 
From the BBC - today

Accrington Stanley may look to sign Fleetwood defender Rob Atkinson on a permanent basis in January.

"We'll monitor the situation and see what comes of it," Stanley boss Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Lancashire. "He settled in really well and I think he's enjoyed it. If the same circumstances become evident again, I think he would like to return."

Atkinson initially joined Accrington on loan in October and played 13 games for the League Two club.

Richardson continued: "Rob's done smashing, we thank him and we wish him well. We hope he has an impact on Fleetwood's season. We have got players in our squad who can step in quite comfortably and do a job, so we're quite positive."

He is unable to play for Fleetwood against Aldershot in the FA Cup on Saturday, as he featured in Accrington's first-round victory at non-league AFC Fylde.


:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Linfield Murphy Winnard Liddle ...I dont think you can play Toto and Murphy both at CB, Winnard will be good at CB with one of the two for abit of experience!
 
Have to say that I really rated Rob Atkinson and I think we missed him today. With Fleetwood sacking their manager this evening let's hope we can move in for Atkinson on a permanent deal in January.
 
Atkinson aside, I am totally gobsmacked by that decision. He has taken them from Conference North to League Two, albeit with a bit of dosh, but they are hardly relegation bound. Be like us sacking Coley for finishing 20th first season back!!!

It was only a month or so ago he was linked with the Burnley and Blackpool Jobs.

Modern Football - Stinks to the rafters !!!

Good Luck Micky
