Transfer on the Horizon?

Crewe 1 – 0 Blackpool FT

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:48:41 +0000

erm, that didn’t go to plan. First of all they looked very tired, Baptiste looked shattered as did GTF and Charlie. In the first half we played veyr poorly with Eardley in midfield and Husband at right back which seemed a strange decision. In the second we held the ball well but lacked any cutting edge and most importantly a striker.

As for the trialists.

A – Midfielder (Sunny)

Played well in the second half very much a defensive midfielder, did win the ball on many occasions not from touch tackles but from being quick and being able to turn away from his man. Did however give the ball away on a number of occasions, that may have been due to a lack of options ahead of him. He played the full 90. May be worth a deal on loan.

B- Winger, blond hair tall.

Did well in the first half infront of the Pool fans, beating his man a couple of times, taking the ball inside and also winning back possession. Faded in the second half and bumped off the ball on numerous occasions. His only shot in the second half was nearer the corner flag than the goal, played about 75 mins.

C- Striker

Bulky forward very much in the fashion of Martins or Yakubu. Had a nice turn, run and shot in the first half but then wasn’t supplied with anything for the rest of the first half. Did well holding the ball up due to his strengh but only played 45.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that we need players in soon, with a striker being the priority. If you look at the three teams that went up last season all brought in a “big striker” in the summer, Fletcher – Burnley, Kevin Doyle – Wolves and Chucho Benitez – Birmingham.

Half time and one down from a free kick that was headed then tapped in. The nearest we have come is Charlie Adam hitting the bar from a volley.

We’ve played with three trialists, a blond haired fella on the left wing who’s looked good. Upfront a stocky fella who’s had a few good turns and runs. Finnally Sunny in the middle who’s been ok but given the ball awY a couple of times.

Let’s hope for a better half with some new faces.

Crewe V Pool

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:44:38 +0000

So tonight we continue our pre season which so far has seen us unbeaten, yes maybe not against the stiffest competition but keeping winning ways is always important. Crewe is always an enjoyable away day, pub and the chippy round the corner and great to be close to the action.

I have no clue to tonight’s team but considering two games in two days over the weekend it should contain a few trialists, it would be nice to see Francis Jeffers who’s played a number of games for us so far. Another name is Stephen Obayan Sunday a Nigerian midfielder who currently plays for Valencia. Dekel Keinan could play as could Malaury Martin who missed the back end of the Devon trip with an injury.

If they don’t turn up, then I might bring my boots.

Big Screen at Bloomers?

I looks like we could have a big screen at the ground as part of the new East stand. Plans which can be downloaded from the council site specs out a space for the big screen!

However in the Design and Access Statement document there is no description of the screen.

Dekel Keinan the First of Many?

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:34:36 +0000

According to speculation from various sources Israeli central defender Dekel Keinan is set to be the first player to sign ahead of the new season. Released from Maccabi Haifa at the end of last season he’s got 15 international caps to his name and he’s also got three brilliant videos on YouTube, the best being the first. Looks quick and strong in the air!

The music reminds me of borat! Jagshemash!
