Leaves Bangor City, could be useful cover for Matt Doughty, should have signed years ago

Someone should have mentioned it earlier

wouldnt kyle brownhill (related?) be a better signing ?
-
He's gone Burnley
-
oops sorry
-
:D
-
Might have been a time he could have done a job for us.......but it's been and gone.
-
He wants to join us too (Facebook)
Apparently, we are his local team.
-
The thing that annoyed everyone with Liam Brownhill was that he verbally agreed to sign for Alty 5 years ago then went back on his word for a few extra quid at Droylsden. Thanks but no thanks Liam,I believe theyre looking for players at The Butchers Arms...

Maybe so, but if as he says now he really wants to play for his hometown club, he would had joined then rather than going for the extra few quid. The fact that he has gone from England C international to playing in the Welsh Prem doesn't look good on his CV.
-
Can't see any harm in giving him a trial.

I bet they can't contain their delight ::)

Wouldn't entertain him or James Jenings or Matt Flynn.
All for the same reason.
-
I wouldn't entertain Flynn because he is wank to me if he good enough your cutting your nose of to spite your face if he gets no trial for not joining in the past the real question is his quality which I'm not qualified to answer
-

you do make a good point there.

agreed

Here's the verdict from my Bangor City source:
"Brownhill is a skilful but stumpy one paced full back, who is creative in attack and a liability in defence.
He left Bangor because - after one year - we are out of Europe, so the budget has been cut.
He was the first to tweet goodbye and eye pasŁures new."

For the love of God. Is it 2008 again? If it is, not to worry because we've got a 2008 Matt Doughty who's by far the best left back we've had for a decade...
Come on folks.

Come on folks.
Also agree with that. Personally i dont think we need a left sided player, as said before need a forward, two centre backs and right mid.

two centre backs? Are you planning on dropping Havern or Leather or both? I'd have thought one for competition for places / injury suspension etc and Carl as cover is enough?

Id say we need a left sided player I rate clee and doughty very highly However need cover there

If we have a top quality CB as cover though then Scotty Leather can play at LB. What do you think Jimmy? I know his best position isn't LB but has done a great job when been asked to play there.
-
I think the worry is cover for Clee rather than Doughty. We have no one that can comfortably fill in at left mid/wing.

i think buzz and clee need a back up, we cant have a bigger squad so the option is to get a player that can play both of which there arent many around, there is no harm in players wanting to play for us its refreshing tbh
-
Turn it in now Jacko!
-

I think Doughty can cover for Clee. As somebody mentioned earlier he is possibly the best crosser at the club and his attacking play is fantastic.
-
I'd say we need a left sided defender most can move forward to midfield anyway a centre half take a good player to get in need right sided midfielder more that to me is a weak position

Yes two, one to replace Danny hall of good quality and a squad player who could of course come from the youth team if any good enought, but yes I think we need two, I see Carl as cover as well but he may be needed to cover mid, imagine have run and bosh being injured at the same time for example.

I'm astounded that Brownhill's agent, Jacko, hasn't been on here to tell us all about this:

not much to say really, found a local club got a good deal after doughty re-signed it was inevitable, ive seen him since didnt talk much as i cant stand fcum :D
-
Just to add that buzz is a very hard working tough player that i like and i can understand why he's rated on here, but if im honest then i have to say his lack of pace in games last season was exploited by many teams and i only really get to home games, so i wouldnt say he was one of our better players at all.

Somebody has told me that Brownhill happens to be a City fan, too.
Is that true?
Clever new Username, incidentally......but I cant stand The Killers!

yes he is a city fan, he came to moss lane to watch us against oxford years back, he was impressed with the crowd more than anything, which may have come into play when going to fcum as they have decent support.
Im going to try and start the killers/densmore song when he scores ..... lets see how popular it is ;D
-
No thank you.
He had his chance.
One could say, his agent has done a good job for him!!!
-
Liam who ?
-
[/quote]yes he is a city fan, he came to moss lane to watch us against oxford years back, he was impressed with the crowd more than anything, which may have come into play when going to fcum as they have decent support.
He went fo Fcum because they offered him best deal I'm not knocking him for that but that is a fact

[/quote]of course, he shopped around and got the deal he wanted, he definatly considered alty though
-
That's good of him to consider Alty, a player that bar one season on parity has spent his whole career Playing at a lower level than we have been. I think the key in things like that is wether we considered him. I find it disrespectful to a player of the calibre of Matt Doughty to even have this discussion. Unibond league full backs are ten a penny, we have two seasoned conference left backs that have both played in the conference premier playoffs. The link play between buzz and nicky last season was exceptional, an almost telepathic understanding at times.
-
Must admit, I can't understand why we're still talking about Brownhill.

not really disrespectful as far as im concerned we were'nt quite good enough last season and as ive said i put that down to squad size and i know we have a limited budget no harm in considering other players from a lower level.

must admit, i cant understand why we're still talking about brian smickle :D
-
He's not a 19 year old up and coming prospect, he's a late 20s journey man that's never played higher than bottom 4 conference football, how would that help?

its not about brownhill now, its about if u think our left side is good enough and will stay fit enough to keep the balance of the team all season. i think we are at least a player short as i think we need back up on that side to kick on and get promoted
-
You don't think our left side has enough cover with Doughty, Williams,Leather all capable of playing left back and Clee,Lawrie,Walshaw all capable of playing on the left wing?
-

from what ive seen lawrie and leather are'nt any good on the left, walshaw is a striker, and williams is also a natural centre back so what i can see is no balance in the squad and a square peg round hole situation appearing, of course this is all ok unless you want to challenge for promotion
-
Don't forget that Kyle Perry can also play left side of midfield.
Williams is recognised as either a CB or LB and has been equally successful in either position
-
Is sam grimshaw still with us or is he out on loan? I'd like to see how he has developed.
I think we need the 1st XI improving before we look at cover.....the squad has improved over the close season making a far better subs bench.
So I'd still say we need a right winger, first choice centre half, and maybe a real quality midfielder..... in that order......at the moment I would put us as play off contenders...one of those signings would make the play offs likely....all 3 would make us challengers for the title.

Lawrie no good on the left... hmm!
-
Williams has played as many games at left back as he has at centre back and Walshaw has played countless games on the left wing!

greg young has played plenty of games at left back but it didnt mean he was any good at it

from what ive heard and seen he is a CB phil

According to the main website he is registered with Radcliffe Borough - I take that to mean a permanent move.

Anyway all this will be irrelivent when LS signs a left midfielder this week.....
-
We won't be signing another left sided player,Williams was first choice left back at Kidderminster for about 3 seasons..... flimsy argument this mate just to get a gig for some bloke you know from the pub..

not at all pete im not arsed about liam it was him that put himself up for a gig at alty not me, williams is now a centre half though otherwise you would see doughty replaced by him first game im sure

Why? How many times was Matt doughty exposed last year?? And his attacking overlapping give us another string to our attacking bow, why wouldn't he get in your first X1
-
Football is about opinions and in mine I didn't notice us lose and more goals down our left than right I may be wrong
-

this is about solid back up on the left, as clee seemed to get a few more knocks than normal last season and matt isnt getting any younger, if im honest i would say we are weakest there and get beaten for pace against the better sides yet going forward against sides like hinkley they look great
-

i saw big problems in the away leg against brackley on this side and i believe we can improve from it, good back up is needed

Nonsense argument Jacko. You're making him out to be a semi decent left back at the bottom of the Conf North. The football played last year was some of the best I've ever seen us play and the build up to the final goal at home to halifax last year involving glee, reeves and doughty was one of my favourite memories of last season.

It wasn't just down the left that we had problems against Brackley. If anything, due to not having a player that would stick to the right hand side, players got drawn across and then balls were pinged across the pitch to expose where players had moved from. The left side is the least of our worries right now.

the fact that players were getting drawn accross and outpaced should tell u something, enjoy your good football against sh*te, i would rather have a more balanced side
-
Halifax are sh*te?
-
As we have brought in Williams haven't they got the left sided cover anyway the odds are he will be the left back if that's the correct choice that remains to be seen
-
Could i just remind everyone this the lad from ALTY signed for Droylesden instead for an extra Ł50 a week?? Also i know fact he got bined from Bangor and was trying to get back to us,also this same lad was playing sunday league for Navigation Bay and believe me im old and he was not that good not good enough to play for my red and white heroes!
-
We know what he is. It's just Jacko being star struck for some bizarre reason.

of course ballers whatever you say....
A player expressed his interest in coming to alty in the off season, he went somewhere else...life goes on
-
I expressed an interest in goin to Alty in the off season,Im still without a club.
