training or staying
- Thread starter chippo
- Start date
would be an opportunity missed by stanley if that happens imho.
Even though we certainly have the edge with the stature of our management team and their relationship with the player, Morecambe can offer much more in terms of wages than we can, and I doubt Jeffers will be as lenient with his wage demands as some here (myself included) would hope.
Fingers still crossed that he'll be our man up top this season however.
It was just a little paragraph stating that Jim Bentley would be interested in signing Jeffers as he would be ideal for Morecambe.
pretty sure hes goin playing abroad,
Sligo Rovers by any chance?

They are about two thirds through the season now, and being top of the league maybe they don't need him anyway
With all the talk about Franny Jeffers, what about other trialists. Who do others think should be signed up? On a personal note, from what I have heard/read, how about John Routledge, still only 22 but seems to be having some decent games. And what about the defence (the 2 youngsters released from Burnley)? Those of you who have been to watch the matches could maybe point the finger at one or two of these trialists. What about a goalie as well? Other than Bav's we have no-one YET!
Answers on a postcard addressed to - No only kidding, but answers on this thread would be useful. Work commitments bar me from attending most if not all these re-season games.

Well ive been to both pre-season games and as for the trailists ive seen Guthrie obviously caught the eye the most and its great we have snapped him up.
Murdock (the keeper that played at Morecambe) looked half decent, though he didnt have much to do, as did (Welsby) that played at Radcliffe.
The most impressive for me along with Guthrie was Darville, that played Right Back yesterday. Routledge has also had two decent games in Midfield.
Thought the 2 lads from Burnley looked half decent at Radcliffe, maybe they will play at Cammel Laird this week and maybe again on Saturday at Barrow.
As Coley says, they are playing a behind closed practice game tomorrow after which he will probably know who's going and who's staying.
Looking at the squad as a whole...... I think we need another striker, and a couple of wide midfield players and we are almost there.
I said dont panic

Dean Overson ( son of Vince ). Played last couple of games for Stanley reserves last season and played second half against Radcliffe.
That is going back some LD.. CB in the early eighties???? I am TOO OLD!!!!!!!!!
Yep Big Vince works with the youth team now. If Dean is half as hard he won't go far wrong.

Stand out was as you say Kurtis
Chris Lynch looked steady and assured at Radcliffe, hard to judge the keeper yesterday kicking looked good and was quick with the throw outs for the counter attacks.
I am not sure if he wore the number eleven yesterday but I think he did at Radcliffe and played the first half Geoff I think he was called look very assured on the ball and covered a lot of the pitch and as you mentioned Routledge looks very sharp.
The other one for me was number three at Radcliffe left back looked very assured in that role and had a couple of lung bursting runs down the left with decent crosses in but then got injured in the second half he looked like he could play a few roles either as a left back or a wide man.
The standard of all the players used in the two friendlies that Stanley have all been good with none seeming overawed with the games and all contributing to enjoyable friendlies.
Pendle think no11 at Radcliffe was Geoff Kellaway 25 year old left winger born in Dorchester , started his career at Aberyswyth town 2003-4 season. Was named in the 2009-10 welsh premier league team of the season,in August 2010 he went to OZ and joined Melbourne Victory he was released at the end of the 2010-11 season and came back to the UK.
