i think ryan edwards needs to stock up a bit to reach his full potential... he hasn't got much pace anyway so adding a bit of muscle wouldn't do him any harm | |

He's not good enough yet. Time will tell if he ever will be. | |

Was reflecting on Edwards after yesterday's game. It looks like he's been thrown in too soon, as he's not performing as well as he was in August. You'd have assumed that the experience of League football would make someone a better player, but it's all just a bit too soon. | | | |

wouldn't be hugely surprised to see us go in for Procter and Winnard to name but two, centre half I feel will be an experienced loanee. | |

Procter is starting at PNE at the moment. Admittedly that doesn't mean much as Westley changes his team more than Claudio Ranieri does in a training session, also wouldn't he be on decent wages at Deepdale? | |

january signings? on 21:06 - Dec 27 with 2149 views | ColDale | the problem will be if we can't have Kevin Long. Gornell and Grant were always his first choices for up front, and eventually he got them. In the mean time, we signed Adebola, Curran and Donnelly. We need to have someone in place for the Wimbledon game as Edwards leaves on 2nd January. If we don't get Long straight away, do we wait until the end of the month to try and get him or do we look for alternatives straight away? If this defensive run continues, the season will be over by the end of January and the board won't be shelling out for a player they will view as a free transfer in the Summer when there's nothing left to play for. Unless a deal is in place which I doubt after his recent first team appearance, then we have to look for alternatives. Just hope they're better than his stand ins up front. | | | |

But again, he's not good enough. Unless McLeish wants him back at Forest to hoof it. | |

he certainly made a good captain in reserves last season against the buckets reserves in lancs senior cup i think he most overlooked defender who's got talent in our defense | |

If he was good enough for regular League 2 football (which he isn't) he wouldn't have been allowed to go out on loan to a lowly Blue Square Premier League club. | |

then again though, if he was good enough would he be put in ahead of colemans mates? | |

he's not the answer. If he was, he'd already be in the first team squad. Soccerbase has him down as making just one appearance at Barrow (which isn't always 100% especially with Conf teams) but everyone at the club is well aware of Byrne's ability. That's why he's not featuring. | | | |

He isn't. And Edwards (R & P) and Bennett are all better than Byrne. | |

january signings? on 23:15 - Dec 27 with 1922 views | rich_dale | Without offering any names, the key has to be a new CB, someone with experience and leadership qualities - it could revitalise the whole back 5. Bennett and Lillis might flourish with someone decent alongside/in front. Wouldn't say no to a CM that shields the back four better. Curran and Donnelly can go if we can get Gornell and keep Grimes. Getting Gray back will be like a new signing. Crainey can go too providing we keep Tutte and Kennedy. | | | |
january signings? on 23:25 - Dec 27 with 1909 views | RoChDaLe | 1.proctor to replace tutte(if he leaves) 2.offload donnelly and curran and if a genuine decent bid comes in for grimes then let him go and sign zola and gornell 3. get a tall 6ft plus centre defensive midfielder who plays the same sort of role as mikel - who just sits there and protects the back four! | |

You lot want to have a good look in the mirror! Half the current squad/ accy team worked their way up from non league. There is a lot of potential in non league football but you need to look in the right places and dont get on a high horse about it! Give youth a chance but most importantly have scouts looking at the right players. I remember watching a 18yr old craig dawson have mr donelly in his pocket for two games yet it took two yrs later for someone to take a chance on a cd then it did for gd!! | | | |

Blimey, that is good recall. Did GD work hard in that game? We know there are gems to be found in non-league, but by definition, not really that many, else they wouldn't be there. | |

Ha no idea but what ever he did must have worked to catch someones eye. You are right, maybe not that many but we shouldnt be quick to right off players like Byrne. We only have to look at recent ex-non league clubs that are now climbing quickly up the ladder! | | | |
