He won't be signing for Guisley

[Ballers]

Agree that midfield is our big problem at the moment. The amount of players that spiritually left this club after that defeat at Colchester is unreal. I think Jake Moult is a fantastic player and Richman was invaluable in this team for so long. They both need to get the weight of the world off their shoulders and start enjoying football again. Neither were solely to blame for the teams relegation, they need to know that and get there heads up, and start playing again

I think the manager went spiritually too.

And you're right about the moult and Richman but the things is, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the pre season fitness regime was a shambles. Jake looks overweight, Simon only looks naturally fit rather than football fit (possibly add Lawrie and Reeves to that),a menagerie of players did not enter August physically fit or robust enough to make an impact (Menagh, Hasler-Cregg, Miller), or were never going to be able to shake off injuries/inactivity enough to be effective (Hattersley, dare I say it Goodall).

It simply wasn't good enough and the consequences are lasting and damaging. At no point have I seen us rise above sluggish, I haven't see us fly out of the traps at teams or close down effectively (or as a unit) or cover ground whenever a team moves the ball against us.

Dispiriting.

Quote from the Guiseley forum regarding Tuesday night's game against Gateshead....."thought Nicky Clee had a really good game". It does look as if Nicky has overcome last season's injury.

Nicky Clee announces on twitter he's gutted to be leaving Guiseley but family comes first 'on to the next chapter'. Anyone going to training tonight? Or BPA for that matter?

[Cheadle Hulme Alty]

Their latest description of his performance on Saturday at Aldershot was "excellent". He will be a brilliant signing for any team in our league, let's just hope it's us!

It would also come with the added bonus of effectively re-signing Damiem Reeves too.

Well we are a "family" Club aren't we?

I can't tell you what that does for me, cos this is a family club!!

[cheshire cat]

When he says family comes first does that mean he is looking for regional football?

[bumble]

He's just followed BPA on Twitter and a few BPA players.

If he goes there I'll be furious because we should be throwing the kitchen sink to prevent a relegation rival taking a player

I think that's that then :-(

That's a good point Jack. Realistically in our situation we're not going to attract any great players so it's as much about keeping others down as anything else.

I'd also say that although Miller has a decent shot on him we don't have a natural left winger or seemingly a good left back still.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

He's four years younger than our most recent loan signing.

[Pwill]

He won't be signing for us. If travelling with Guiseley was too much, why would he travel to Alty two or three times a week?

As a member of the management team, I can asure all supporters that attempts were made to get Nicky back to the club. Unfortunately we can't compete financially with some fellow Conference North clubs in terms of salaries. Much as Nick would have loved to have returned to the club, when significantly increased terms are offered, then "family comes first". Other targets have been identified, but even at our level of football, ££ talks. I can assure all the supporters that efforts continue to strengthen the squad in all areas of the pitch. Hope that clears a few things up.
