Ronnie had Liam Davies on the bench a few times, but he was incredibly unlucky with injuries and never made a first team
appearance. Think his brother/cousin plays for Everton

Yes, Tom Davies, who is very good indeed.

Great news regarding Gibson, who was brilliant for us in 2012-13.

Nice to see Ben Gibson has been called up to the England squad. A proper centre back who has gone from strength to strength since he left us.

Back to our league, I noticed Chester signed Liam Davies on a contract to the end of the season who was released by us last summer. Don't think he ever got any sort of chance with us if I remember rightly and can't picture him.
I'm pleased for Ben. We did really well with him in the side, but fell away badly after he returned to Boro after his loan ended in mid-season.

I don't know much about Liam except that he had a bad injury which kept him out for a while. He was released soon after.

Ex-loanee Matthew Pennington scored today for Everton in the Merseyside derby. Sadly for him, his team lost and apart from the goal he had a difficult game.

Best wishes go to ex rover Joe Thompson who now back at Rochdale but has sadly been diagnosed with cancer for a second time.
Heard Joe talking on the radio tonight about scoring the goal that kept Rochdale in League One (and relegated Oldham!). He also spoke from the heart about his battle with cancer. Heartwarming stuff.

James Alabi still has not scored for Orient, and received a straight red card today after coming on as a substitute.....

Absolutely useless, although according to him would have no problem playing at Championship level :rolleyes: I can see him back at Chester before long.

Bit unfair being sent off after youve gone on just because you're a useless, overweight, self opinionated, imposter of a footballer.

Alabi definitely did his team a favour since they scored AFTER he was sent off! It only gets worse for the poor fella...
