Happy with both keepers. If contract situation is sorted he's happy to have them fight it out and will pick best keeper on form. Need to start getting clean sheets.

Taking about previous experiences, Nigel Pearson, SGE, etc

[Batch]

Are the new signings going to get regular game time?

Not signed them not to get in squad!

[Panda Paws]

Jesus the standard of questions is a new low.

Happy with 4-3-3 away .. does like 2 strikers though. Still experimenting at home, has a new formation to try tomorrow..

Probably made mistake brining doughty off last week, needs to find his most effective position.

Says v Crawley penalty aside the full backs didn't attack wings enough

[Batch]

He wants 20 outfield players, 3 keepers.

We have too many here right now, wants to draw on youth but can't really right now..

[Batch]

You can't beat playing men's football. Pryce will benefit from being in that situation - players will soon let him know if he's not pulling his weight.

Pitman - I wish - too expensive

Thanks Batch, must admit I'd forgotten all about it. Sounds like I didn't miss any big revelations.

Talks of wanting to get results to get the atmosphere and buns on seats .

First and foremost results, will look at other ways too

Re: budget where do we sit?
Don't know, knows some of the numbers from Mansfield's, Bury's and Lincoln's ... Are they having him on!

Hodgetts repeated powers talk of Accrington and not needing a big budget

Wellens says yeah but they had same team for 3 or 4 years and tweaked it. Goes back to what he was saying re squad turnover

[Batch]

And that's all folks.

I will say I was mega pissed off with him after Crawley, but tonight he's come across very well with common sense prevailing. I like his talk. Now walk

[Batch]

Oh and I paraphrased a lot, so if you can stand it:

Bit worrying saying such stuff about Accy....as not really the case.

Here's my analysis of their squad towards the end of last season....

I looked at the Accy squad from the game when they beat us in Jan. To get a bit of an insight into how to do it. Of the lads who got on the park, 2 have been there 3 seasons... a couple of key players (no pun intended) Billy Kee and Sean McConville, both played most games this season. The defender Coneely, was on the bench.

Then 5 lads on their second year. 3 in their first year, then 3 loans.  All of them either journeymen, or from non league, the bench made up of similar, only Coneely any experience.

PB, today's Adver pinpoints that if he's here next season then he will need to move out quite a few.  It's what the Accy model sort of shows.... you need a couple of old hands, which in todays game is 3 years, a core of second season players who know the managers style and then get the missing ingredient provided by the newbies.

We could potentially do most of that but haven't got anyone of the Div 4 quality of Kee or McConville... it'll be interesting to see how good they are next home game.
