The Squad for 2018/19

[frenchrover]

So what has happened to Jonny Smith and Caprice? Neither figure in the squad for todays match against Fleetwood.

Looks like we were a shade lucky NOT to complete the Morgan Ferrier deal if this is anything to go by:

Think we may dodged a bullet there!
For such a small club they do court their fair share of controversy.

You beat me by seconds there frenchrover!!

One player in the squad today is Liverpool keeper shamal George. Wirral born, he may be buoyed by the fact that pilling has just dropped a clanger

Seems he became Spilling for a moment. Or was it doing a Karius. Still, all part of the learning curve. Better in a friendly than in a competitive match.

Interesting reading about Ferrier. I’d love to know why he wanted to return to BW after taking to Tranmere. Maybe we wouldnt meet his demands? Sounds like we certainly did dodge a bullet there.

He makes Ryan Lowe look like an angel by comparison.

From what I have seen on TV of George for the Pool lower sides, he is not a bad keeper. However, I suspect we need someone more experienced. George could replace Pilling as no 2 but that is unlikely to happen I imagine.

that agent needs sacking shocking how he can act like that . in eney other job you would be sacked . as for morgan he can rot . we dont need or want guys like that no thanks .

My take on the Ferrier situation is that he is clearly without a brain and has allowed himself to be manipulated by an incredibly stupid young man. I feel sorry for BW. They signed Ferrier in good faith and were going to sell him to us in good faith (Micky must be ropeable!). Where does it leave Ferrier now? Without a club? As this is now public knowledge I cannot imagine the rest of the team being happy about it all and be keen to continue playing with him. You wonder why Anderson was pushed aside. One of Ferrier's London 'mates' maybe given the involvement of Wimbledon? Anyway, Micky clearly has to look elsewhere unless Ferrier tells this guy to go hang.

If Pilling is not to be the stand-in while Davies is injured we need to do better than Liverpool’s fourth choice keeper.

Why don't we give Pilling a chance as it seems he's already been hung, drawn and quartered after a couple of friendly matches.

He really struggled today. If it was just one or two games Davies was out for we might be able take the risk, but I think he will be missing for longer.

 

[aldoes mustache]

they wont risk it . then whats the point of giving him another deal

 

[Colin K]

Not sure if anyone else saw this or it's already been covered...but not a bad result to get your first two goals for your new team.

Mellon probably wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, play him in the Checkatrade Trophy games and see how things went. Unfortunately, nobody who saw the game yesterday would want him in goal at Stevenage.

Most decent keepers have dropped clangers in their time. That said, I was surprised Pilling signed up again after he wasn’t felt ready last season, couldn’t really see what had changed

Whether it was due to inexperience, nerves or ability, his performance yesterday was not good enough and there is no way he could be risked at Stevenage.

You have to question Eric Nixon's role in all of this. Since he arrived, Davies' performances have gone backwards and Pilling has not developed as expected.

 

[Sparky]

Good point RLC. Even Rhys Taylor didn’t look convincing at times and his signing came from big Eric’s little black book apparently.
