Liam McAlinden

I wouldn't pin your hopes on McAlinden - I'd suggest Stockleys form will determine our fortunes this season

Maybe but he needs someone to provide the ammunition and to partner him which is why i wrote what i did in my OP.

What has happened to Sparkes? I would love to see him come on for the last 15-20 minutes to run at defences and scare the living daylights out of them.

If McAlinden had anything resembling a right foot on Saturday he'd have scored at least two goals, fact!

Whilst I'm with you on this, I think there have been loads of important U18 games, as well as the U23 Prem games, Checkatrade etc coming up. Jack is eligible for all of our different teams and it looks as if he is being used a) for important U18 games and b) trying to get in lots of games. Perhaps its thought that with McAlinden Holmes and Edwards we have enough forwards who can play wide, Jack having only just turned 17 he needs more experience than the last 15-20 minutes of games. Though it looks as if I'm not alone in thinking that he's a really useful option coming off the bench in League Two.

I suspect we'll see more of him in that latter half of the season.

Here ya go Sturtz

 

[STURTZ]

See he's at Wrexham.....

 

[Super Ronnie Jepson]

And, as here, he's very much a bit-part player.

To be fair, he was forming quite an understanding with Ruben Ried before Stockley arrived. If I remember right, we had started that season flying.
