Midfield General
« on: June 25, 2014, 01:59:58 PM »
Was speaking to Peter Cavanagh on Twitter the other night, he's not fixed himself up with another gig since his release by Rochdale at the end of the season.

Asked him about going part-time and playing for Alty, seemed to welcome the idea and I think he's doing his coaching badges.

Was an absolute revelation for Dale in the holding midfielder position, there's some daft stat like he only conceded once all season with him on the pitch.

Basically, he's exactly what we need.

You're not his agent are you?  ;)

John Coleman signed him during his spell as Rochdale manager, Cavanagh captained Accy all the way up the pyramid (and captained Dale last season). Did play as a right back, was holding midfielder all of last season

Just thought I'd make a new suggestion (that I'd suggest is more feasible than some of the other targets mentioned...)

I thought Williams was more of a ball player than a ball winner? I think the two could compliment each other well.

Plus there's no substitute for experience and leadership.

Yeah, but we've not even touched the ball.  I blame the manager, the board and staff.  NOT ON
