Post by: baldrick on July 10, 2009, 08:42:36 PM: He scored 5 goals in 56 games so he is probably a midfielder.

"Matty is seen (right) with his new Alty midfield colleague Anthony Danylyk in the Vics v Alty clash last Boxing Day"

He has past form in that respect, apparently.

Had a reputation for that at wrexham putting himself about in midfield, sounds like eddie hussain :-)

Whilst I dont want him to pick a lotad of bookings I do want a strong destroyer in midfield. Sounds like this could be guy for us. Could be a great signing for us.

Well done GH/KMc and the board

Post by: Paul Cain's Chip Pan on July 11, 2009, 12:43:51 PM: This is exactly the kind of player we missed at times last season. A natural leader and someone who can really give the lads a kick up the arse when it's required.

Post by: Nonleaguer on July 11, 2009, 12:49:23 PM: How can you form an opinion on a player with regards to being a natural leader without seeing a ball kicked? What about the likes of Youngy always voacl and offering advice?

I have actually seen him play before, just against us rather than for us. Also, my research leads me to believe he is held in this regard by others.

Is that ok with you? Shall I seek your permission before I post in future?

How about taking some of your own advice? I was merely commenting on a player based on what I already know.

Post by: Chubby NVFC on July 15, 2009, 02:01:26 PM: Well done on getting Matt, he was probebly the only Vics player last season to have a consistent season (one of the reasons we went down ::)). As has been said - always gives his best, though that can usually lead to a booking or a red ;).
Is prone (like Welch) to have a shot from inside his own half instead of looking for the percentage ball - great when it comes off but usually bloody infuriating.
Overall though, a very good player at BSP level, sorry to see him go. Can hold up play and is an accurate passer - on his day one of the best in the league.
I think the fiver will be lost before xmas though ;).

He was atrocious at your place and very good at ours. I hope he's slightly more consistent than that.
