I'd advise you watch this:

Perhaps it was a one off, but he was majestic that season for us. The only player as clever as him I've seen at this level was when Wrexham had Glenn Little, thank god he was about 47 years old and reduced to cameo appearances as he would have torn this division to shreds. Connell was just on another level for us in 10/11 though.

That's Sir Glen Little to you and I. I'd honestly have him in our midfield now.

I know we do the joke about "favourites"

Chesterfield are actually mine as my final table predictions testify. Unreal squad depth. The turnover of their players is insane though. Rowe must have brought in 20 odd players in his 8 or 9 months there?

Tshimanga, Danny Rowe, Asante, Tom Denton, Nathan Tyson and Stefan Payne all on the books at the same time and that's just strikers.

They'll either win it or go bust. I actually mean that. Don't know where their money is coming from. At least with Wrexham you know. Same with us on a lesser scale.

I still have questions about the centre of Chesterfield’s defence with Kerr, who has been pretty average everwhere else, some 30yo from Hereford whose played his whole career at non league level, and a guy whose nickname is literally ‘Mad Gav’ making up the three. Plus Loach was dodgy at our place.

But with two very good wing backs, THAT midfield, and a strike force on a combined wage of £12k per week, those combined benefits should offset any defensive weaknesses and I agree they are now hot favourites.

Loach is in the top three goalkeepers in this division.

I'm quite confident Grimes will be our best defender, but I also have doubts about Gunning and Kerr. We have Hollis, Maguire there and Carline who would do a job too though but hopefully we can get settled on what our best 3 is early doors! Grimes Hollis Maguire maybe for me

What's so good about this Chesterfield midfield everyone is banging on about? Not disputing this at all, I just don't really know much about them.

It’s potentially very good. Oyeleke is class, league player really, but long history of getting injured. Khan had a good end to the season with Dagenham and seems to have a lot of potential, as does Clarke who they had on loan from Villa and signed permanently.

Seems to be a bumper time for attacking midfielders really down here. You’ve got Rooney at Stockport who bangs them in as well as Whitfield who is great, Davies at Wrexham is exciting, Clarke and Mandeville at Chesterfield, Rodrigues and Roberts at Notts are our two standout players. Then there’s Barratt at Maidenhead, Balanta at Dagenham, Rees at Boreham Wood who are always in the goals as well.

Glen Little was amazing. He could only manage about 10 minutes at a time, but what a 10 minutes.

Cheers. Yeah Oyeleke is the only one I recognised, but I don't think he played in any of our games vs Vale over the past few seasons.

Hopefully we'll be adding McAtee to this list of decent attacking mid/number 10 types as he's probably looked like our best player in pre-season from what I've seen/read.

I'm expecting Andrade to end up back down here at some point.

Did you ever find out roughly what Salford paid for him?
Can't remember tbh, but I can remember that he was very remunerated for his move! Not surprised he's been happy to take his time with fixing himself up.

We couldn't get anywhere near what they were offering him, although I think Appleton was happy to get rid anyway.

I’ve a feeling that 30 year old non league defender (Jamie Grimes btw) will turn out to be one of our best signings this summer. Shrewd business from Rowe that one was, he won’t be on a lot of £ either I wouldn’t have imagined.

Gone under the radar as a result of the profile of our other signings, but he has looked top draw in pre season and comes with rave reviews from Hereford fans

Christ on a bike I’d forgotten just how many crackers he scored that season, what a player.
That’s an unbelievable goals reel there wow! :D

Wand of a left peg, some serious finishes in there

Did he ever do anything after his spell with you? I remember he went to Swindon and played against us in JPT final but can’t say I ever saw much else from him

We’re seemingly sticking with 3412 and Rooney as a 10 which didn’t work last season. Will also mean we can’t find Whitfield a place in the team. The reason I think we’ll finish fourth.

Didn’t he still score and assist a shit ton of goals and get named (controversially imo) NL PoTS? What is his best position?

He divides opinion.

He scores a very good number from midfield and some fantastic goals quite frequently. But in general play he doesn't run the game really, more a player of moments. He likes to drop deep and spray passes around, which is why he's more suited to playing deeper but then he's not the most defense minded so he ends up at number 10. This means if we're playing 3-4-1-2 and he's the one behind the front two, if he drops deep, the two strikers can be isolated and not connected enough to the midfield. That's my view on it anyway.

He did but he does that against the cannon fodder and against them he more often than not plays deeper but we don’t trust him there in the games against the better sides and our record against then was pitiful.

A good manager and director of football would have used the summer to reshape the squad so we could change formation to a 433, bring in personal that suit that formation and sort the Rooney/Madden balance problem that we had in the big games. Instead three of our five signings will I think improve us but were in positions where we were already strong and Whitfield is going to be on the bench or played out of position in a 3412.

Quigley likes to play on the shoulder often so that will help us stretch teams a bit more so that’s the only tick on the issues we had last year but he’s not electric and the team in general lacks pace and power and our midfield is incredibly one paced.

Individually we have a really good squad and it’s superior to last season’s but the balance still isn’t right for me when we come up against the best sides and I don’t think we can get away with it considering the strength of our rivals.

Agreed and Madden also loves to drop deep which compounds the problem and out only threat in behind ended up being our RWB hence our terrible results and lack of goals against the best sides.

As I said in my other post Quigley likes to stretch defences whereas the man he replaced in Cardwell didn’t/couldn’t and we’ve also seen in pre season one of the DM’s in Collar given licence to break beyond Rooney when he comes deep and he’s scored a few goals so hopefully those tweaks will make us harder to defend against but I’m not convinced it will be enough.

Obviously nonsense, but imagine how injured he after a trip to Maidenhead and Devonshire getting hold of him.

Yeah I've only seen it on one random journalist's twitter account. Can't be true.
Came from someone on our forum who just makes things up. He was coming along with Joe Hart the last time he made it up.

The rumour is he's training with us which might have a chance of being true if he even lived in the area or had played at a club in the area. As it stands, the whole thing is solid gold bullshit.

That's what he is isn't he. He is a number 10 and pretty much that's the only position he can play seeing as he's not a proper midfielder nor a forward. He'll guarantee about 15 goals a season consistently though which means most of his shortcomings are overlooked by managers.

I never really heard anything of him after he left for Swindon but just checked his Wiki page and he played a decent amount of games for Swindon and then Bradford afterwards.

Yeah I was going to say, surely someone like a Portsmouth or someone down that way would go for him first. If he did sign for Stockport it would make life even more interesting in the Conference next season!
