Interesting listen, especially the last 7 minutes when discussing Jordan deacy refusing to come off the bench

I think he makes some fair points but he appears to have a real knack of rubbing players up the wrong way. Does it everywhere he goes. Any player at Telford that might interest us?
-
Tony Gray.

Tony Gray.
Follows Watson wherever he goes. He'll be at Stalybridge soon.

Decent forward level below but that's it
-
The trouble is Jimmy, if we're going to say that every striker that's done well in Conference North is a 'level below' we could end up with a Steven Gillespie again! We know there are plenty of decent players operating at that level, who for one reason or another haven't played in the national league, or who haven't been given a fair crack of the whip in it. I'm pretty sure that the likes of Gray, Hopley, Marc-Williams, Spencer and Durrell would come into the managers thinking if they were available and interested in a gig at Alty.

Out of the list you said I would very much like durrell the others I'd say no but all better than perry and Gillespie

Spencer is not scoring at Stockport

Watching the trophy final I like the look of st juste and kendall.Isn't Durrell a bit similar to Lawrie?More of an attacking midfielder?
-
Watching the trophy final I would definitely be interested inst juste and ryan kendall ,Liam King also looked good.Is Durrell a bit similar to Lawrie?Attacking midfielder rather than striker ?
Good game. St. Juste has something about him today. Lee should know the Ferriby squad fairly well.
-
I'd still like Durrell agree he isn't an out and out stricker most of them ferriby players are well payed or so it was said last season
-
Durrell is similar to Lawrie and that's why I think he'd fit better into the system that Lee plays. I don't think that having two out and out strikers has worked in recent years - even Wally found himself on the bench.

Wally found himself on are bench because Sinnott got it wrong luckily he got it right in time
-
Wally is on the bench at Harrogate most weeks
-
Iv noticed how many gray has got this season Pehaps I was being abit harsh on him
-
A lot of those have come recently I think but 15 is a good effort in a conference team that only has 26 points

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure when we signed Damian Reeves into our Conference squad, he had been playing in the Conference North for Telford and Alfreton the season before? He was definitely unproven at this level anyway (Histon and then Northwich), and look how he's turned out. I much prefer the idea of signing promising player from the league below, its not exactly far fetched to suggest that offering contracts to mature "league proven" players runs the risk of them becoming complacent at a part-time Conference side. Gillespie, Twiss, Elam...
-
Reeves got a few at Farsley though 13/14 or so. Not earth shattering but a reasonable effort in an outgunned side.
-
My point is that I don't think the likes of hopley and Marc Williams are that good at the level below not that I dont think we shouldn't get players from the confrence north I'd be happy to see about 4 players from guiseley alone join us infact I don't think we have the money to get good players at are level so I would look in confrence north
-
I'm sure Lee would be monitoring the situations of all the lads mentioned in this thread come the end of the season
Although out of the Colwyn Bay options, surely Obi Anoruo represents the best one? Pacey and has bagged plenty at North level, untried in the Prem (don't think he got any game time under Saunders at Wrexham)
And as much as I feel Durrell would be unrealistic anyway, signing another 'No10' would surely mean taking a strong decision on Lawrie as we can't afford to have two of these players on the books
I'd also add Adam Boyes from Guiseley on to the obvious target list from the North - Tony Gray got to be worth the first enquiry
-
Very excited about how we could fare next season with the right additions. However the first priority is to secure the services of most of the current squad, as it was the loss of key players (and failure to replace them) that really contributed to our downfall last time we were in this league. It would be great to continue this consistent year on year improvement that we've seen in recent seasons.
-
Don't like the thought of Durell. But we do really need that type of player.
Sort of player that'll happily celebrate in front of an entire Chequers. Mcgivern / Walshaw esque
-
It won't be an option because he is good enough to earn more
