Regan Booty. From up north, currently at Maidstone and made the England C team...

I know cock all about him (like any player at this level) but a quick scan off their forum suggests he's one of the very few they want to keep in their squad but consensus is they've got no chance as he's too good for that level (presumably NLN as that's where they are heading )

Will they get the time from an impatient fanbase though?

Not a chance...

Not unless he lets the fans pick the formation, the style of football and what direction every pass is to go.

Moot point anyway cos Unsworth's going nowhere.

Even Shaun Williamson would do a better job than Unsworth. Could give us some pre-match entertainment as well.

 

 

No Shaun, we can't play 1 upfront at home, the natives will lose their shit...

Shaun: we're gonna do it anywayyyyy

Will chuck it in here cos he's an ex player, but was thinking earlier - has John Sheridan returned to Boundary Park as a fan since he left? I remember him saying after the Eastleigh game that he would be doing (think he actually said he'd be at the Wrexham match, which was the next game), but have seen no mention of him being in attendance at any game and I doubt he'd slip under the radar...

Was there not talk of him moving abroad before he came back to us for the 34th time?

Based on nothing but "stats" since he moved to Chesterfield, it doesn't look like it's worked out how he probably imagined it would so far for Colclough? 

8 games, 4 starts, 0 goals, 0 assists, not completed 90mins yet and didn't get off the bench yesterday.

Perhaps Dumpty Umpty will play him at centre half?

I got a bit worried when I read he's played right wing back in the past (was a disaster apparently).

Comes with the same reviews as Timmy Abraham did. All pace, no end product.

Alty only paid £10k for Linney apparently. Not much of a risk at that money is it.

A mate of mine was at a family function that was attended by Darren Royle and they had a brief chat re. Latics and the overwhelming feeling he got from it was that Unsworth was going nowhere...

We've since gone on a run of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Yesterday won't change anything.

I wonder what Frank thinks of him telling fans to fuck off. 

Probably wouldn't be best pleased fans were giving the manager stick in the first place... He was big on support the team/manager no matter what in his takeover press conference

3-1 down at home to Barnet, so would suggest not.

 

They now have 5 points less than us - Maidstone have 7 less - and we have FOUR games in hand on both.

 

This league is brilliant.

It was their "pack the park" night tonight, 5k crowd.

Good result for us.

What’s the Altrincham scouting set up like BP1960? They seem to be doing pretty well with their recruitment recently…

Willing to take a chance on those deemed 'trouble' would be my guess.

Colclough - alleged assaults / getting into bother on nights out

Linney - convicted drug dealer.

And the reason is?

Romantically linked with Unsworth's daughter apparently...

Edit - I'm not saying that's the only reason why he's playing, but I think that's what yarddog73 is hinting at.

Scunthorpe sign 5 players today. No idea if any of them are any good.

A couple of months ago after seeing him play. He scored twice with headers from corners and provided  2 assists.

He's recently signed a new contract with them.

I read he's played well at CB too.

Good assessment..

 

Have you passed his details on to the club BP?

Who is this RB / RW / ST & which team does he play for?
 

I cannot see anyone in Cymru Prem, North or South matching this profile.

 

Perhaps if we knew who, we could all join in the debate?!

Alex Downes would be my guess.

Sometimes I get tip offs from other scouts and just passed on one to the club about a young striker in the Northern Premier League who's currently on loan from a league division 1 club.

BTW the powerhouse Welsh club right back scored his 12th goal in 19 games last week.

The 2 available  EPL u21s midfielders again both impressed.

We first need to reduce the playing staff though, which is a frustration when recommending players.

Have we missed the chance on the 2 midfielders now their transfer window has shut??

If we have, can you now name them?

Premiership clubs do loan players to non league clubs..

Hasney Aljofree's son.

Linked with us not so long ago?

Former loanee Jim Goodwin sacked by Aberdeen after losing 6-0 to Lee Johnson's Hibernian.

Still no Everton signings. For reference, Everton have loaned Duncan Ferguson a player on his first day in his job. Granted, they're in the EFL but even so, you'd expect Everton (Kenwright and Denise Baxendale in particular) to do a favour or two for Unsworth if his reputation was so good there...

One of the two players somebody on here said Unsworth had agreed to bring in when he first joined.

Looks like

Clarke Yarney Hogan Kitching

Chapman Shelton Sheron Tollitt

Another signing on a 2.5 year deal - there's your answer to those asking the club to back him or sack him...

People are asking the club to back him??

Madness...

Been playing CB & RB for Hartlepool recently but they seem to suggest he's a half decent midfielder too.
